Summary:

"The One Thing" by Gary W. Keller and Jay Papasan revolves around the focusing question: "What’s the ONE thing I can do, such that by doing it everything else will become easier or unnecessary?" The authors advocate the 80/20 principle to prioritize tasks effectively, focusing on the most impactful actions. Learning to say no is essential for maintaining focus, akin to Steve Jobs' advice that true focus comes from saying no. The book emphasizes the importance of not sacrificing personal life for work and provides a poignant analogy, comparing work to a rubber ball that bounces back, while family, health, friends, and integrity are fragile, like glass. Prioritizing the "ONE thing" ensures that when working, it aligns with what truly matters, allowing for a balanced and fulfilling life.
