Accomplish One Big Task

Incoming demands and digital distractions can get in the way of real productivity. If you do one big thing today, you will feel like it is a productive day.

Ask yourself: What’s the one big thing you want to accomplish today?

Figure out the most important tasks that you’d like to accomplish over the week. Those are your Big Rocks. 

Put them in your schedule, first thing in the day, on different days of the upcoming week. Make those the most important tasks each day, and do them first.

Instead of checking off a list of tasks, concentrating on one big thing in a day turns out to be a lot more fruitful and gratifying.
