Gary Keller, the author of the book “The One Thing”, explains that we can’t manage two priorities with the same level of commitment. He suggests choosing just one and giving it your all. Your “one thing”.
Because as soon as we completely focus on a project, we start to make progress! Keller suggests dedicating 4 hours a day to your “one thing” … every day.
If you want to put a website online, regardless of your initial skill, imagine starting every day of the week with four hours totally devoted to this project! With no distractions. It’s highly likely your super-brain would find creative ways to meet every challenge. As you wouldn’t authorise it to do something else, as it would be your “one thing”!
What priority would make you focus on just “one thing” as this new year begins?

The language I am least at home in is Italian. When I cross the Alps, the native speakers can hear my accent and they make a rapid deduction: she is tall and blonde, so she must be German! Or else, she has a French accent! Depending on the result of these deliberations, the person addresses me in one of these two languages, even if I have made a valiant start in Italian.
After a week I realise that people are now answering me in Italian! Nobody is changing language anymore!
I am delighted, because it has happened so subtly that I hadn’t noticed.
Just one little victory in the mastery of a new skill. I inwardly celebrate this success and share it with you to further enhance it.
What about you? What success have you not yet celebrated? The first time your macaroons rose as they were meant to do? When you managed to do a 5k run? That you got through your child’s homework session without raising your voice?
Celebrate each success. And share it in the comments to promote it.
