Nello Vitiello's Key Ideas from The ONE Thing
by Gary Keller

Getting extraordinary results is all about creating a domino effect in your life.

The key is over time. Success is built sequentially. It’s one thing at a time.

1. Everything Matters Equally
2. Multitasking
3. A Disciplined Life
4. Willpower Is Always on Will-Call
5. A Balanced Life
6. Big Is Bad

When everything feels urgent and important, everything seems equal. We become active and busy, but this doesn’t actually move us any closer to success. Activity is often unrelated to productivity, and busyness rarely takes care of business.

Instead of a to-do list, focus on a success list—a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results.

When you try to do two things at once, you either can’t or won’t do either well.

Every time you try to do two or more things at once, you’re simply dividing up our focus and dumbing down all of the outcomes in the process.

Researchers estimate we lose 28 percent of an average workday to multitasking ineffectiveness.

You can become successful with less discipline than you think, for one simple reason: success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right.

It takes an average of 66 days to acquire a new habit.

Those with the right habits seem to do better than others. They’re doing the most important thing regularly and, as a result, everything else is easier.

Our purpose sets our priority and our priority determines the productivity our actions produce.

To be financially wealthy you must have a purpose for your life. In other words, without purpose, you’ll never know when you have enough money, and you can never be financially wealthy.

Happiness happens when you have a bigger purpose than having more fulfills, which is why we say happiness happens on the way to fulfillment.
