00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,640
Welcome back to Working towards our Purpose. This is episode

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,600
46, and in today's episode, we're going to

3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,440
talk about the one thing that you can do to get more done.

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,650
What's the time that we have? So little bit of a bonus

5
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:31,330
episode this week. This is the second episode of the week, and

6
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:35,530
I was feeling like I wanted to talk about another topic

7
00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:39,210
this week. So here I am recording another podcast, and hopefully

8
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:43,050
it's helpful. So, as I always like to start

9
00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:46,450
these podcasts off with a positive thing. Since the last time of

10
00:00:46,450 --> 00:00:49,970
recording, the first positive thing that kind of comes to mind

11
00:00:50,530 --> 00:00:54,210
is my mom brought me a bunch of

12
00:00:54,530 --> 00:00:58,110
summer squash and tomatoes the other day. And,

13
00:00:59,390 --> 00:01:03,110
yeah, it just reminded me of working in farmer's

14
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:05,950
markets and the abundance of

15
00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:10,230
produce that there is at this time of year. So she ended

16
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:13,910
up getting a bunch of produce from one of her friends that had a

17
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:17,550
garden, and it was too much for her. So then she was able to kind

18
00:01:17,550 --> 00:01:21,190
of pass it down to me, and I'm probably going to end

19
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:24,510
up passing it to one of my friends and just kind of a.

20
00:01:24,970 --> 00:01:28,450
A really cool cycle of, like, somebody, you know, producing something,

21
00:01:28,450 --> 00:01:31,610
growing something, and then being able to share it with other people.

22
00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:35,210
So I think that's a really cool thing. I was able to make a bunch

23
00:01:35,290 --> 00:01:38,890
of tomato sauce yesterday, which was nice. Had some

24
00:01:39,130 --> 00:01:42,410
pasta for dinner, and yeah,

25
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:46,450
just. Just a reminder that abundance is

26
00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:50,250
all around us. So let's get into today's episode.

27
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:53,210
The one thing that you can do with the time that we have

28
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:57,780
to, you know, get. Get more done, be. Be more productive, make

29
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:01,620
progress towards your goals. Um, so I. I read

30
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:04,820
this book called the One Thing, and that's kind of what, like, spawned this.

31
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:08,660
This sort of episode. But I. It reminds me of this time

32
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:12,540
where somebody that I used to work with, he. He first

33
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:16,180
found my podcast and kind of reached out to me, and I hadn't talked to

34
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:19,940
him in a while, and we ended up getting together and having

35
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:24,100
dinner. And he. I remember him being like,

36
00:02:26,050 --> 00:02:29,570
he's still kind of, like, working in the old career that I was.

37
00:02:29,970 --> 00:02:33,770
And he was like, you know, what. What can I do to, like, make progress

38
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:37,410
towards this idea that I have? Like, what can I do? And he was kind

39
00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:41,250
of, like, looking for an answer, and I didn't feel like I had an

40
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:44,890
answer because I was still kind of, like, figuring it out at the

41
00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:48,690
time, I guess. And I just. I

42
00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:52,410
empathized with the feeling of, like, you know, you're working 40 hours a week,

43
00:02:52,410 --> 00:02:56,200
you come home, you have limited amount of Time.

44
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,000
It's like, what do you do? Where do you start? There's so many things to

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,680
do. You know, how do you. How do you get stuff done and actually accomplish

46
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,200
something? And, you know, it was my own story, too. Like, I

47
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,040
remember spending every single hour that I wasn't at

48
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,880
my corporate job just working on Pleasant Podcast, my

49
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,520
podcast business, and just trying to do all of the things.

50
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,400
And, you know, when you start a business, there's, like, so many

51
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,160
things that you have to do that you don't know how to do. Marketing, social

52
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,460
media, like, reaching out to people.

53
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:32,460
Like, you know, even just like, writing copy on your website

54
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:35,860
is like, new. Like, how do I. How do I say what I'm doing in

55
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:39,620
two words or three words or a sentence? Building a

56
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:42,700
website. So, you know, there's so many things to do. But, like, how do you

57
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:46,060
get stuff done? And the answer is,

58
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:50,140
well, you know, I don't have all the answers, but for me, recently,

59
00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:54,580
you know, the answer is the one thing. Um, picking one

60
00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:58,140
thing that is the most important for you to be doing and

61
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,980
just doing that and ignoring everything else. Um, so,

62
00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:05,900
you know, it's kind of a, I guess a bold topic. Picking

63
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,260
one thing and only doing that one thing and ignoring everything else

64
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:14,420
and then doing that kind of repeatedly every day. You know, every time you

65
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:18,100
have time to work on something, you only pick one most important thing and

66
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,770
ignore everything else. And I think it's.

67
00:04:21,770 --> 00:04:25,090
It's not really used to our nature. We're used to, like, you know, answering all

68
00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:28,850
of our emails and getting back to people and making sure that, like, you know,

69
00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:32,170
everybody else is happy. And I think with

70
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:36,050
doing the one thing you. You may end up, like, hurting somebody's

71
00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:39,810
feelings or ignoring somebody or doing something

72
00:04:39,810 --> 00:04:43,290
that, like, maybe offends somebody. But,

73
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:47,730
you know, I think all that stuff kind of, like, goes by the wayside

74
00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:51,230
and it's really not that important anyway. Like, you know, if somebody is

75
00:04:51,230 --> 00:04:54,910
upset because you didn't get back to them fast enough in email, I

76
00:04:54,910 --> 00:04:58,310
don't know, I think there's. There's more pertinent things to be worried about.

77
00:04:59,350 --> 00:05:02,990
So. So, yeah, you know, don't check your email for a couple days and the

78
00:05:02,990 --> 00:05:06,549
world's not going to end. So anyways,

79
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:10,230
that's my perspective. But. But to get back to the idea, the one

80
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:12,310
thing, it's

81
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:17,350
where the book started to kind of like, start explaining what this idea meant.

82
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Um, because it is a little bit jarring at first. You're like, it's impossible. I

83
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,800
can't just pick one Thing. Um, but, but the author first described like, the

84
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,400
8020 principle. And if you've never heard of the 8020

85
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,080
principle, it's basically 80% of your results

86
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,280
come from 20% of your input. And

87
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,240
this is something that, like, I heard a while ago and I really resonated with.

88
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,530
And if you've, if you've heard about it, um, you

89
00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:47,890
know, it, it shows up everywhere. It's like you can apply it to your work

90
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:51,690
or to personal projects, to, to anything. It's like

91
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:55,610
all of the things that we do, a really big chunk of them,

92
00:05:55,770 --> 00:05:59,370
80% about, really don't affect the outcome at all

93
00:05:59,370 --> 00:06:02,890
and really aren't that important for us to be doing. Um,

94
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:06,650
so if you can determine which 20% is actually working,

95
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:10,330
then you can kind of get rid of the 80% that's not working

96
00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:14,170
and only focus on the 20%. And with this one thing idea

97
00:06:14,170 --> 00:06:17,430
is it's basically just taking that est step further and saying

98
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:21,870
not 20%, but actually one single thing is the only thing that

99
00:06:21,870 --> 00:06:24,950
you need to be doing. So again, very

100
00:06:26,630 --> 00:06:30,190
sort of simplistic idea. But what makes it

101
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:33,990
difficult is picking the right thing and being able to pick the right

102
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:37,510
thing. I think, like, when

103
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:41,350
I think back to, like, first starting Pleasant podcast, I certainly

104
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:45,100
had what's called shiny object syndrome, where

105
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,500
I would basically give my attention to whatever was

106
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,780
shining. Like, you know, I'd watch a video on YouTube that said,

107
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,140
you need to build your email list. And then I would start being like, oh,

108
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:57,540
I need, I need to have an email list. I'd work on that for a

109
00:06:57,540 --> 00:07:01,380
couple days. Then I'd, you know, hear another video that I need to have

110
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:04,820
a CRM. And it's like, oh, now I need to go research CRMs and

111
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,620
spend a little bit time on that. I pick a CRM, I buy one, and

112
00:07:08,620 --> 00:07:12,240
then I don't use it, or, you know, I never end up using it. And

113
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440
you kind of just put your attention to whatever is like,

114
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,880
you know, crying the mo. It's like the squeaky wheel gets the oil

115
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,120
type thing. Like whatever's squeaking the loudest. That's where your attention goes.

116
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,400
But what makes this one thing concept really

117
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,320
impactful is when you cannot do that, when you can

118
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360
really focus your effort on the thing that actually

119
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,220
matters. So this is a little bit different because now you actually have

120
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:42,940
to look at your to do list and decide

121
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:46,460
which thing is the most important thing to do. And

122
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:50,620
that can be difficult. I think I'm probably not alone

123
00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:54,140
in. When I get a block of time,

124
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,660
I'll look at my to do list and I'll just start kind of working towards

125
00:07:57,660 --> 00:08:01,100
whichever one maybe I feel like doing or which one

126
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:06,060
maybe is top of mind or something. And I won't really

127
00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:09,640
look at the to do list and think about, well, which one of these tasks

128
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,160
is absolutely the most important thing that needs to get done first. And

129
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,960
in doing it that way, you're really kind of like, just prioritizing.

130
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,520
But thinking about it for me in terms of one thing just

131
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,240
makes everything so much simpler because it's like, there's only one

132
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,080
thing that's the most important thing on this list that's

133
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,400
going to lead to my end results or my end goal. So

134
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:36,659
figure out what that thing is and then do that one thing.

135
00:08:37,699 --> 00:08:41,099
And, you know, maybe it even changes the way that you make your to do

136
00:08:41,099 --> 00:08:44,899
list. Like. Like, I think you really have to think. You really have to spend

137
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:48,619
time thinking about what you're going to do before you do it. And I

138
00:08:48,619 --> 00:08:52,299
know for me that that always kind of feels like a waste of time. And

139
00:08:52,299 --> 00:08:55,339
I'm always like, I just have to start to get to work because I only

140
00:08:55,339 --> 00:08:58,499
have two hours. I can't. I can't spend time thinking about what I'm going to

141
00:08:58,499 --> 00:09:02,140
do. I just have to do it. But when you

142
00:09:02,140 --> 00:09:05,740
do, give yourself some time to think about, like, okay,

143
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,540
what's my main goal right now? If my main goal is

144
00:09:09,540 --> 00:09:13,300
to grow my podcast audience, what's the one thing

145
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:17,059
I can do to make that happen? Well, by

146
00:09:17,059 --> 00:09:20,860
making a podcast every week, that's certainly one thing that I need to

147
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:24,340
be doing, right? If I sporadically make podcast

148
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:26,940
episodes, then that's not going to do good for

149
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,600
creating an audience who's, who's used to listening to my podcast.

150
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,440
So, you know, thinking in those terms versus, like,

151
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,280
you know, thinking about, like, anything else that has to do

152
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,720
with podcasting or maybe growing a podcast.

153
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,000
So, you know, another thing, too, that this book talks about was how

154
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,280
multitasking is a lie. And I certainly,

155
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,270
certainly agree with that. And I think why this

156
00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:58,910
one thing works is because you're only

157
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:02,470
focusing on one thing, and it allows you to be able to get into a

158
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:06,270
flow state, which is where you're hyper focused on what you're doing.

159
00:10:06,590 --> 00:10:10,390
You're actually making progress on it, and you're tuning everything else

160
00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:14,150
out. And by focusing on one thing, you're able to tune everything else

161
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:17,790
out and you're giving yourself the permission to ignore everything else. So

162
00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:21,920
when I'm trying to do this, like, I'll X out of my Email. Uh, I,

163
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,320
I'll put my phone somewhere else and I'll only think about the one thing that

164
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,160
I'm doing. And if different ideas pop up, like while I'm doing that, I'll

165
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,920
try to just write them on my to do list and then forget about them.

166
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,760
And, and that's been really helpful for me to make progress on

167
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,920
accomplishing these one things. And when you accomplish these one things

168
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,640
day after day, that's when you actually start making some momentum

169
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920
on building something. And I think,

170
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,920
you know, that is kind of, I guess the answer maybe

171
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,920
that I would tell my friend now is like picking,

172
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,280
giving yourself time to pick the most important thing to get

173
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,280
to the goal that you want to get to. If it's building a business, you

174
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,000
know, what is the most important thing you can be doing? Likely it's not

175
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,760
like fussing around with your website or like making social

176
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,530
media posts or something else. You know,

177
00:11:13,530 --> 00:11:16,770
it's up to you to decide whatever that is. You know, maybe it is building

178
00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:19,890
a website or maybe it is social media. But, but that's another

179
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:23,970
great part about this one thing is that you actually have to trust yourself.

180
00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:27,730
And that's why it works too, is that you have to kind of like

181
00:11:28,210 --> 00:11:31,730
get rid of all the noise of, of people telling you that you need to

182
00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:35,490
do this or you need to do this and really focus in on like, what

183
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:38,450
your specific goals are. And then you get to

184
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:42,770
like, actually trust in yourself that this is the right thing.

185
00:11:42,930 --> 00:11:46,290
And when you are picking One thing, you're 100%,

186
00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:50,290
you know, putting all your eggs in one basket and then doing that thing. And

187
00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:54,530
I think that's also a really good thing for us to be doing, is

188
00:11:55,490 --> 00:11:59,050
trusting ourselves and then seeing what the outcome is. And, you know, maybe it

189
00:11:59,050 --> 00:12:02,850
works, maybe it doesn't work, but at least you made progress and you're moving

190
00:12:02,850 --> 00:12:05,970
forward. Because we can get so stuck in,

191
00:12:06,620 --> 00:12:10,140
you know, indecision of, of all the things that we have to do.

192
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,940
And then you're just, you know, thinking about all

193
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:17,300
these different things that I could be doing, but you're not actually doing any of

194
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:20,060
them. So, you know,

195
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,460
finishing things, I think is, is definitely the,

196
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:28,820
the, the way that you get things done. Right? I think we can, we can

197
00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:32,510
kind of all agree on that. And by picking

198
00:12:32,510 --> 00:12:36,350
one thing and getting those things done, you're going to start building momentum

199
00:12:36,350 --> 00:12:39,150
and then you're going to start making progress towards whatever your goal is.

200
00:12:40,110 --> 00:12:43,310
So another thing that, that the book was talking about,

201
00:12:43,790 --> 00:12:47,310
it was talking about like successful people and Steve

202
00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:51,030
Jobs came up as an example. And the author of the

203
00:12:51,030 --> 00:12:54,430
book said that Steve Jobs was really good at being able to pick out

204
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:58,430
the one thing and then focusing on that and then continuing

205
00:12:58,430 --> 00:13:01,470
to build on that. So I think, like, at one time,

206
00:13:03,790 --> 00:13:07,150
you'll have to fact check me on the. On the history here, but when he

207
00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:10,950
first came into Apple, they had, like, a bunch of different products,

208
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:14,390
and he basically said, like, we're not doing any of these anymore. We're focusing on

209
00:13:14,390 --> 00:13:18,150
the one. The iPhone. And then they built the iPhone to

210
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:21,190
what it was. It became this huge popular thing. And then they were able to,

211
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:24,750
like, get a new focus and, you know, work on the ipod or

212
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:28,840
the iPad or whatever it is. Um, but they were

213
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,400
saying that, you know, some of the most successful people are really

214
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,000
good at differentiating, like, what's important and what's not

215
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,800
important. And I think a lot of

216
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,360
the things that we think we should be doing are not important. Um,

217
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,720
so. So really practicing, like,

218
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,040
what are the important things, and then getting to work on them and doing them.

219
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Um, so for me, the past two weeks, I've really been trying to implement this

220
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,780
into, like, my working schedule. And. And I feel like I've gotten more

221
00:13:58,780 --> 00:14:02,500
done and I'm able to sort of just

222
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:06,020
really focus on one thing at a time. And. And still it. It's new to

223
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:09,740
me, and it still feels like almost like I'm not doing enough. It's like,

224
00:14:09,740 --> 00:14:13,020
oh, you're only doing one thing a day. That's. That's not enough.

225
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:17,140
And, you know, I have voices in my head saying that, but if I can

226
00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:20,860
do the one thing, it's like, well, now I just did five. Five

227
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:24,380
things this week, and I made progress towards my goal.

228
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:28,380
Um, whereas if I didn't, and I sort of bounced back and forth,

229
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,360
half did six projects. That's not getting anything accomplished.

230
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,720
So for me, it's been really helpful to just stay focused and to

231
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,480
prioritize and to kind of give myself the permission to only do

232
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,280
one thing a day. And also, you know, something

233
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,120
that's helpful for me is like, I'm a morning person, so I'll block my mornings

234
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,840
out and I'll do my one thing and getting that one

235
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,520
thing done. You know, sometimes I get it done quickly in the morning, sometimes I

236
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,550
don't, and it drags into the afternoon and I have to finish it in the

237
00:14:58,550 --> 00:15:02,190
afternoon. But now I have, like, the opportunity to do that.

238
00:15:02,190 --> 00:15:05,870
Whereas before I would, like, just, you know, have two things

239
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:08,710
or three things in my day, and then I'd run out of Time, and I

240
00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:12,510
wouldn't be able to finish the one thing. Whereas now I'm picking the one thing.

241
00:15:12,510 --> 00:15:15,910
And then when I do get that one thing done, then I can go back

242
00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:18,350
to my to do list and pick the next one thing that I can do.

243
00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:21,990
So, for example, like today, my one thing was to sit down and record this

244
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:25,670
podcast. So, um, you know, that's the one thing that

245
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:29,470
I'm doing. And, you know, if I'll go. If all goes to

246
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:33,070
plan, I will have it finished by, you know,

247
00:15:33,070 --> 00:15:36,830
noontime and have everything scheduled. And then at noontime I can have some

248
00:15:36,830 --> 00:15:38,950
lunch and then I can go pick my next thing that I want to do

249
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:42,390
in the afternoon. But only focusing on one thing at a time. Like, I'm not,

250
00:15:42,390 --> 00:15:45,190
like, you know, I'm not thinking, what's the next thing I'm going to do while

251
00:15:45,190 --> 00:15:48,910
I'm working on the podcast? I'm finishing this podcast first, and then I can go

252
00:15:48,910 --> 00:15:52,650
look at my next thing. So. Doing one thing at a time. Um, another

253
00:15:52,650 --> 00:15:56,330
thing I remember from the book is that, you know, multitasking, go lie

254
00:15:56,330 --> 00:16:00,170
and. And there was some science behind your brain only

255
00:16:00,170 --> 00:16:03,530
actually being able to do one thing at a time. And when you are doing

256
00:16:03,530 --> 00:16:06,970
two things at a time, it just kind of bounces back and forth between

257
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:10,690
doing two things. So it'll do one thing for a little bit and then bounce

258
00:16:10,690 --> 00:16:13,170
back to the other thing and do that for a little bit and then bounce

259
00:16:13,170 --> 00:16:16,930
back to the other thing. So your, your efficiency is, you

260
00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:20,690
know, immediately cut in half at least. So when you are able

261
00:16:20,690 --> 00:16:24,510
to focus your brain on one thing, likely you'll get more

262
00:16:24,510 --> 00:16:27,990
done faster. And, you know, I think that's really

263
00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:31,630
helpful when, when we have limited amount of time

264
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:35,350
to, to work on our projects, maybe we're starting a side business or starting

265
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:39,190
something new. I think that this concept can be really helpful in

266
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:42,870
being able to get more done with the limited amount of time that we have.

267
00:16:43,830 --> 00:16:47,550
So. So, yeah, you know, maybe I encourage you to start, you know, thinking

268
00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:51,390
about the things that you have to get done in this way. What's the

269
00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:54,920
one most important thing that you can do to make everything

270
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,880
else sort of not important at that time? And

271
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,720
yeah, that's, that's kind of all I got for you today. Hopefully

272
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,480
this one thing concept works for you. Give

273
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,200
it a try. Let me know. And then one last thing,

274
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,440
one last call to action for this episode. If you haven't given me a review

275
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,360
yet for this podcast and it's been helpful for you,

276
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,440
I just would ask that you could go ahead and give me

277
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,520
a five star review if you believe that in

278
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Spotify they make it really easy. And yeah, I'll talk to you

279
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,480
on the next episode. As always, thank you for listening.
