The One Thing

I was recently presenting about designing balance in your life, and I was talking with some amazing women about how time is truly a mental construct. October has the same number of days as many other months in the year and we all have the same 24 hours in a day. Why does it feel like some people get more done than others? It’s how we think about it. 

Every 10 episodes I like to share a mentor or book I’ve learned from, and today I am discussing The One Thing, by Gary Keller. In this, he talks about the importance of focusing on one thing, in order to make the most of your time, and I hope you get something from this, as I know I have.
