   Mindset (3) No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) deborahee | Feb 23, 2024 |   ) jcoleman3307 | Nov 23, 2023 | This book provided an eye-opening perspective on how to cope with my overflowing plate of interests and roles. It taught me to tackle the most crucial tasks and projects first. Previously, trying to give equal attention to all aspects was a balancing act I was losing. Now I can concentrate my efforts, resulting in better outcomes and more satisfaction in the work I do. I was entirely engrossed in the book. So much so, I read it in one sitting! I took notes, highlighted, and underlined frequently. Definitely one for my keeper shelf! ( ) Elizabeth_Cooper | Nov 10, 2023 | I also liked the way that the author bridged the gap between having a big picture purpose and day-to-day activities via the mechanism of a focusing question: "Based on my goal, what's the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?" At the big picture level, this can help you discovery what your one thing should be. At the day-to-day level this same question can help you focus on the most important next step. The gap between these is bridged incrementally: "What's the one thing I want to do someday?" "Based on that, what's the one thing I can do in the next 5 years?" Then one year, then next month, then week, then day, then right now. All-in-all, a good message, but I could have done without the repetition and most of the anecdotes.
