I recently read the book The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results By Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, and I really wish I had read it sooner, way sooner in my life, and definitely before starting college would have been helpful! Why? The book has a very simple premise and as I’ve started using it in my life, I have started seeing better results, results I really could have really used in college.
The point of the book is that in a world where multi-tasking is still king, choose instead to focus on one thing at that point in time in your life, and focus on just that and nothing else. Don’t answer the phone or check your email while you’re writing a paper for English, just super focus on writing your paper, and when you are done, then you can answer the phone or check your messages.
It’s simple and it’s brilliant, and in our distracted world where we’re constantly inundated with information, it is very, very hard to do. But, if you work at it and master the concept of focusing on one thing at a time, the results you receive are worth the effort you put in, each and every time!
