The Highly Productive Person’s Daily Energy Plan

Success demands singleness of purpose.

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.

The Six Lies Between You and Success

The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest.

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.

Live with Purpose

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.

Everything Matters Equally

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.

Multitasking

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.

The Domino Effect 

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.

Professionally, Gary’s ONE Thing is teaching. He excelled as a real estate salesperson by teaching clients how to make great buying and selling decisions. As a real estate sales manager, he recruited agents through training and helped them build careers the same way. As co-founder and chairman of the board, he built Keller Williams Realty International from a single office in Austin, Texas, to one of the largest real estate companies in the world by using his skills as a teacher, trainer, and coach. Gary defines leadership as “teaching people how to think the way they need to think so they can do what they need to do when they need to do it, so they can get what they want when they want it.
