Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls – family, health, friends, integrity – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

GARY KELLERIt is not that we have too little time to do all the things we need to do , it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have.
GARY KELLERMultitasking is a lie.
GARY KELLERDon’t let small thinking cut your life down to size. Think big, aim high, act bold. And see just how big you can blow up your life.
GARY KELLERThe people we live with and work with on a daily basis deserve our full attention. When we give people segmented attention, piecemeal time, switching back and forth, the switching cost is higher than just the time involved. We end up damaging relationships.
GARY KELLERTask switching exacts a cost few realize they are even paying.
GARY KELLERExtraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.
GARY KELLERYou can do two things at once, but you can’t focus effectively on two things at once.
GARY KELLERExtraordinary results happen only when you give the best you have to become the best you can be at your most important work.
GARY KELLERIn the end, the best way to succeed is to go small. And when you go small, you say no – a lot. A lot more than you might have even considered before.
GARY KELLERThe trick to success is to choose the right habit and bring just enough discipline to establish it.
GARY KELLERSuccess is sequential, not simultaneous.
GARY KELLERJuggling is an illusion. In reality, the balls are being independently caught and thrown in rapid succession. It is actually task switching.
GARY KELLERWhat’s the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
GARY KELLERThink as big as you possibly can and base what you do, how you do it, and who you do it with on succeeding at that level. It just might take you more than your lifetime to run into the walls of a box this big.
GARY KELLERUntil my ONE thing is done, everything else is a distraction.
