John, I read it a while ago and it makes a lot of sense to me. I do agree that the ideas could be fleshed out a bit more. However, I have taken on the mantra and been simplifying my life. To me the message is that if you focus on one thing at a time you will be so much more efficient, and that if you focus on things that are important to you, you will be more effective. This is not really a new message but I thought the book expressed the sentiment that made sense to me. In particular, the diagram of the result of your effort. For those who have not seen it, picture a circle with ten one inch arrows coming out in different directions showing your achievements in ten different fields. If there is only one arrow, the achievement will be ten inches long.
If you look at people who are successful in particular fields, it is usually the case that they have focused their energy into the ONE field. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
