The One Thing – Our Verdict

Why I love it…

Hi, it’s Naomi here!

I’ve read a lot of productivity books, but this one really stuck with me. Unlike other books that give you complicated systems, The One Thing simplifies everything: just focus on one task at a time, complete it, and move on.

One of my favourite quotes from the book is:

“The key to success isn’t in all the things we do, but in the handful of things we do well.”

Reading that felt like a breath of fresh air! It reminds me that I don’t have to do everything, just the right thing.

It’s important to note that by focusing on one thing doesn’t mean limiting how you think. Keller focuses on how you still need to think big.  He says

“ Thinking big is essential to extraordinary results…the only actions that become springboards to succeeding big are those informed by big thinking to begin with?”

I always talk about celebrating little wins, and this is similar – every task that is completed, no matter how small, if it is undertaken in order to reach a bigger goal, then that is a springboard to success.

Have a big goal, and then focus on what actually moves you forward towards that, one thing at a time.
