66. Top 3 Power Habits Learned from Gary Keller & Jay Papasan Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

Over five years went into researching and writing The ONE Thing, and one of the things we discovered was that, on average, it takes 66 days to form a habit. That means you can form up to five life-changing power habits every year... but how many power habits have you acquired over even the past five years? Most of us haven't formed very many, and that's okay. Today you have the opportunity to intentionally decide which habits you will form, and narrow your focus to the ONE you want to acquire first.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

We hope you'll celebrate episode 66 with us by picking just ONE of the three power habits we described and starting your own 66 Day Challenge. You can download your own 66-Day Calendar for free at the1thing.com/66daychallenge.

In this episode you will learn...

[5:25] The 1st Habit: How to act in order of priority.

64. Struggling to Get Clarity & Identify Your Priorities? You’re Not Alone! Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

Do you ever feel like you're working hard... but not getting the results that you deserve? So many of us feel isolated by this feeling, but you are NOT alone. We are sharing a conversation we had with one of you, Lizzie Grant, to demonstrate how common this feeling is. We failed Lizzie, but we called her because we always want to learn from our failures. We never intended for this conversation to be a podcast episode, but it was too inspiring and too valuable not to share with all of you.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

Get clear on what your priorities really are. Write them down on a sheet of paper. Now ask yourself: What is the minimum amount of time that you need to invest in your top priority to make progress? Don't set the bar too high because, when you start taking action every day, it will become a habit.

In this episode you will learn...

[9:00] How taking a break can help you get clarity.
[11:30] Why so many of us struggle to control our time (not just you!).
[18:00] How you can get clarity on what you want and develop a system that helps you do those things in order of priority.
