Hey
Continuing with this month’s theme, i.e productivity, here is an important point that I’d like to reiterate.
Productivity is all about getting the right things done. It isn’t about clicking on checkboxes, but about filtering (many) right things to do.
The good news is that we all struggle with getting the right things done and today, I will share lessons learned practicing the art of getting the right things done.
But first, an important announcement: 📢
I love writing this newsletter and getting your feedback/suggestions. While I love to bring you curated insights from books, I am also doubling down on this conversation format - with a sub-newsletter, which will bring you ideas on startups/tech/product industry (it’s a free newsletter and you will be added as a subscriber).
This newsletter will move to a new home, starting this Sunday (March 12th)
(nothing changes for you).India based subscribers are still not able to subscribe due to Stripe issues. Please use this link 👇
Woof! Enough with announcements.
🐶Now, back to some productive work. First, can you answer this question:
“What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”
Finding that ‘one thing’ is the key to a higher level of productivity - which also means either you make other tasks easier or well, don’t even have to do other tasks.
That is, you unlock productivity by defining and doing that ‘one thing’. Today, I bring you big-atomic ideas from the book, The One Thing which explains how the habit to succeed can be incorporated in our life to overcome the hurdles like the lies that will block our success, the thieves that will steal our time etc.
"The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest."

It’s realizing that extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.
You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.
