The ONE Thing
Gary Keller & Jay Papasan · 2013
The book is built around one “focusing question”: what's the ONE thing I can do such that by doing it everything else becomes easier or unnecessary? Ask it of your life, your year, your day, and you get a chain of priorities that all point the same way.
The authors pair the question with time blocking and the idea of a “domino effect” — small, focused wins knock over progressively bigger ones. The enemy is the myth that multitasking and long to-do lists equal productivity.

Who it's for: Anyone spread across too many priorities who wants a sharp focusing tool.
