The One Thing: Doing One Thing, Changing Lives by Gary Keller

The book teaches that success does not come from multitasking, but from focusing on the single most important thing in each moment.

There are five principles.

1. Choose the most important thing and spend time on it.

2. Do not do many things at the same time because it reduces performance.

3. Always question yourself

"Is there one thing that, if accomplished, would something else be easier or unnecessary?"

4. Time Blocking for important tasks without interfering with other things

5.Do it continuously every day. Small achievements will accumulate to become big results.

🎉 the ideas from this book.

Do not try everything, but do your best "most important things," and the rest will follow.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์การนำหลักการที่ว่า "โฟกัสกับสิ่งเดียว" มาใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน พบว่าการใช้เทคนิค Time Blocking หรือการจัดเวลาจริงจังให้กับงานสำคัญช่วยให้ทำงานได้มีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น ลดความฟุ้งซ่านและความเครียดที่เกิดจากการต้องสลับทำหลายอย่างพร้อมกัน สิ่งสำคัญในการใช้แนวคิดนี้คือการฝึกตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่า "มีอะไรเพียงสิ่งเดียวที่ถ้าทำสำเร็จแล้วจะทำให้งานอื่นง่ายขึ้นหรือไม่จำเป็นต้องทำหรือเปล่า?" เทคนิคนี้ช่วยตัดงานหรือกิจกรรมที่ไม่จำเป็นออกไป ทำให้เหลือแค่สิ่งที่สำคัญจริงๆ เท่านั้น นอกจากนี้การทำอย่างต่อเนื่องในทุกวันจะสร้างผลสะสมเหมือนโดมิโนที่เริ่มจากตัวเราเอง เมื่อทำสิ่งที่ถูกต้องอย่างสม่ำเสมอ จะเห็นผลลัพธ์ที่ยิ่งใหญ่ตามมาในระยะยาว บทเรียนจากหนังสือเล่มนี้ยังช่วยเปลี่ยนมุมมองในการบริหารเวลา โดยไม่พยายามทำหลายอย่างพร้อมกันซึ่งมักทำให้ประสิทธิภาพลดลง แต่เน้นการเลือกทำทีละเรื่องอย่างเต็มที่ จนทำให้งานง่ายขึ้นและได้ผลลัพธ์ที่ดีกว่า สำหรับใครที่กำลังรู้สึกว่าตัวเองทำหลายอย่างแล้วไม่ได้ผล ลองนำหลักการนี้ไปปรับใช้ เพื่อโฟกัสกับสิ่งสำคัญและหาวิธีจัดการเวลาที่ดีขึ้น รับรองว่าชีวิตและงานจะเปลี่ยนไปในทางที่ดีขึ้นอย่างแน่นอน
