The "doing one thing" concept comes (I believe) from the late 1800s and a man called Charles Schwab.
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to it by Philip Humbert, who is a life coach with a wonderfully balanced view of life. I've been receiving his free weekly e-letter for a couple of years; and I love his advice.
For the past couple of weeks I've been using a time management system he recommends. Its similar to the "do one thing", except you get to choose THREE things. The system that Philip demonstrates also helps you keep focussed on your main focus/ goal/ priority in life and your current long term projects.
And best of all - its almost as simple as that "do one thing" pad!

I just had to laugh at those to do lists. I love the note pad with the 1 thing. Wouldn't that be luxury to do just one thing. I am such a doer though I bet it would drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smiles
SueBK, thanks so much for the information! I vaguely remember hearing the Charles Schwab story before, but it had obviously slipped my mind. I've just gone to the Philip Humbert site and read his 3-things system.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, I'm glad to provide a smile; we can all use those!
would be cheaper to write your own palm with a pen.... sometimes people write down something (usually phone # or answers for tests)on their palm.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, that's certainly another option, and one that's illustrated over on Apartment Therapy.
ReplyDeleteThis site is truly full of good information. I will have to try the "doing one thing" sometime. Hard for entrepreneurs. Maybe a modification to "doing on thing per hour" might work. (:>
ReplyDeleteTo help get your readers organized they might consider our scheduling software.
Would love some feedback if you get the chance.
Marcie, I'm sorry - there are so many calendar/scheduling products that I just don't have the time to investigate them all. And it also seems, at a quick glance, that your product is PC based, and I'm on a Mac.
ReplyDeleteSueBK,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sugesting the author Dr Philip Humbert. I liked very much what does he say about perfeccition - being myself a perfeccionist.
# Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. - Antoine de St. Exupery. Henry Thoreau recommended,
"Simplify, simplify, simplify. Let your concerns be as 2 or 3, no more."
Friends, work, the media and this thing called the Internet, along with our own "wish lists" try to seduce us to complexity, busy-ness and anxiety. Keep it simple!
