THREAD // A collection of my favorite quotes from "The One Thing" by Gary Keller:
"It is not that we have too little time to do all the things we need to do, it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have."
"It is not that we have too little time to do all the things we need to do, it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have."
"Success is actually a short race—a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over."
"Multitasking is a lie"
"Long hours spent checking off a to-do list and ending the day with a full trash can and a clean desk are not virtuous and have nothing to do with success. Instead of a to-do list, you need a success list—a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results."
"To-do lists tend to be long; success lists are short. One pulls you in all directions; the other aims you in a specific direction. One is a disorganized directory and the other is an organized directive. If a list isn’t built around success, then that’s not where it takes you."
"The majority of what you want will come from the minority of what you do."
"People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures." -F. M. Alexander
"Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it."
"We are kept from our goal, not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal." -Robert Brault
"If you want to get the most out of your day, do your most important work - your ONE Thing - early, before your willpower is drawn down. Since your self-control will be sapped throughout the day, use it when it’s at full strength on what matters most."
