The "1 Thing" Concept...

The "1 Thing" Concept...

Brian Tracy often talks about a clarifying time management question aimed at helping you focus in on the most important things in your business and life and get those things done first.

Here is the prioritizing question he recommends: "If I could do only '1 Thing' all day long, what '1 Thing' would provide the greatest value to my business or life?" From your list of things to do today, choose that '1 Thing' and put a #1 next to it.

Then go back through your list and ask the same question again, "If I could do just '1 More Thing' all day long, what '1 Thing' would provide the greatest value to my business or life?" Answer this question and put a #2 next to that item.

Continue to ask and answer this question until you have gone through your entire list prioritizing the list based on the value of your activities from highest value to lowest value.
Armed with this clarifying question, will you begin to prioritize your tasks better and focus on your most valuable tasks?
