A Must Read!!

This book is a tremendous must read book for anyone in any profession. But for Realtors or other business owners. Time blocking, focus, prioritizing. These are the essential building blocks. Do yourself a favor and get this book.

great content and good narrator

many of the same principles that I've heard before, but presented in a way that it really clicked and made sense to me this time. basic concept is to focus on your single most important task, but he goes much deeper and book is filled with good insights.

Great biok, great reminders

Do your one thing and your one thing only in each area of your life that you would like to improve.

Great advice and "to do's" to do to make your life better.

Unfortunately the only thing i didn't liked was the fact it does not teach you how to discover your purpose or that "bigger thing" you are suppose to be in the world.

The message is great

Loved the book. I do think it is worth a read as well as a listen, as it would be great to linger on certain chapters. The book pulls together many different aspects of life and things that influence your productivity and explains them in a short but concise matter so it can help you understand what to look out for and how to get things done.
