This is a really great book to start with if you're just getting into the self-help or personal productivity genre, or if you're genuinely trying to take things to the next level. It is pretty well laser focused about getting YOU laser-focused on exactly what you should be spending time on. There's an infinite amount of things you could be doing right this very moment. But not all of those things are equal in how they will effect your future. There may be a dozen things that you really need to work on to make an impact on your future, whether they be items that need to get done for work, family, home, or personal projects. But even among these dozen items there is more than likely one singular thing that is the absolute best way you should be spending your time to help you achieve the most important goal(s) in your life. It's really that simple. But how frequently do we get sidetracked by the “easier” thing to do. Or the thing that seems like it's more important. Or the thing your boss has asked you to do but which isn't congruent with your life goals. Or maybe there is something you could do that will massively help you with other projects down the line, making them easier or even possible.While the concept is simple, the execution is almost always harder. And sometimes you're going to have to make some choices that might seem odd to those who aren't on your same wavelength. But these are the things the most successful people are able to pick out and focus their energy on. Sometimes radical goals call for radical decisions and actions to back them up. This is a great place to start to get yourself thinking this way and then start implementing some changes in your life.
