“Until my ONE thing is done, everything else is a distraction.”

A different result requires doing something different.

Success is built sequentially. It’s one thing at a time.

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

To ignite your life you must focus on ONE Thing long enough for it to catch fire.

Even an idle phone conversation when driving takes a 40 percent bite out of your focus and, surprisingly, can have the same effect as being drunk.

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.

You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.

Multitasking is a lie.

Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers that there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.

Your work life is divided into two distinct areas – what matters most and everything else. You will have to take what matters to the extremes and be okay with what happens to the rest. Professional success requires it.

Your next step is simple. You are the first domino.

The path of mastering something is the combination of not only doing the best you can do at it, but also doing it the best it can be done.

Multi-tasking is merely the opportunity to screw up more than one thing at a time.

In 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.

A life worth living might be measured in many ways, but the one way that stands above all others is living a life of no regrets.

Task switching exacts a cost few realize they are even paying.
