SAME NUMBERS OF HOURS

Everyone has the same numbers of hours ,so why do some people seem to get so much done than others ?

They follow the same approach (GOING SMALL) to get the best chance to success at anything

GOING Small is ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do.

It’s recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most. it’s a tighter way to connect what you do with what you want

always try to shorten your list and ask NARROWING FOCUS QUESTION “WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU DO THIS DAY , WEEK , MONTH AND YEAR SUCH THAT BY DOING IT EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD BE EASIER OR UNNECESSARY” with this technique you have released that extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

GO AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE

LIST YOUR TASKS BETWEEN COULD DO AND SHOULD DO THEN ASK THE “NARROWING FOCUS QUESTION”.

to serve the single purpose “THE ONE THING”.

BIG SUCCESS

People think big success is time consuming and complicated. as a result their calendars and to -do list become overloaded and overwhelmed. Success seems out of grasp at this point.

They become overwhelmed by trying to achieve too much and end up accomplishing too little. they must therefore settle for less since they are unaware that enormous success only comes from doing a few things well.

You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effect.

side effects of doing more bring a lot of bad like :-

missed deadlines ,disappointing results, high stress , long hours , lost of sleep , poor diet , no exercise , and missed moments with family and friends” are all consequences of attempting to accomplish too much.

“Do small things in a great way”

Going small is an effective strategy for achieving amazing outcomes. Why does it always work perfectly everywhere and on everything? because it serves a single purpose. to ultimately make your point clear.

Remember Bruce Lee’s words:

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

Mastery and success come from pursuing one thing and doing that one thing for years.

Do one thing at a time. Start the day with a list of things you have to do, and do the most important things first. — BRIAN TRACY —

Even if you don’t finish the list, you’ve already completed the most crucial tasks. So many people devote so much time to unimportant activities.

GETTING EXTRAORDINARY RESULT

THE ONE THING WORKSHOP

Watch The Domino Effect in action (video by Stephen Morris)

In this video, he shows how one domino can fall another that is actually 50% larger. following domino fall starts out slowly and ended quickly with a loud SLAM.

The domino effect

happens when a little change in a particular spot causes an identical change in the next, which promotes the same change in an ordered sequence related, connected, or similar events that goes on forever.

Considering that each of our GOALS is a domino, and using the knowledge we have gained about this effect, setting goals according to their priorities can encourage us to achieve more goals, just like a domino! Whether you accomplish the last domino (target) or not, you will have learned a lot and gained a lot of experience along the way, which will benefit your career and enable you to accomplish more.

you can imagine the domino pieces as obstacles that hinder us from achieving our goals .When the goals are set up according to importance and priority, achieving one will motivate you to continue achieving the next, and the closer the achievement is. The greater the person’s passion and motivation, the more they will accomplish.

A common metaphor for cause-and-effect relationships is the domino effect.

The law of cause and effect states that every cause has consequences. If you can repeat the cause, the result will remain the same every time.

Considering that each of our GOALS is a domino, and using the knowledge we have gained about this effect, setting goals according to their priorities can encourage us to achieve more goals, just like a domino! Whether you accomplish the last domino (target) or not, you will have learned a lot and gained a lot of experience along the way, which will benefit your career and enable you to accomplish more.

To Apply the Domino Effect in your life and business

Think about a part of your life or business. What domino must you knock down first in order to get remarkable results? What, in other words, is the most crucial element that will have the greatest impact on this specific aspect of life or business and make other things simpler or unnecessary?

The key to achieving amazing outcomes in your life is to create a domino effect. it’s about progress not results , simply let the process repeat as one domino automatically knocks down the next.
