The One Thing

After reading Deep Work and 12 Week Year, this book was mostly a recap of concepts I was already familiar with. Some overlapping concepts included focusing on a long time horizon and progressively zooming in, aggressively time blocking and getting family/coworkers bought-in on your time blocked time, and the importance of defaulting to saying "no" so that you can say "yes" in the few cases it really matters.

I would recommend Deep Work before The One Thing and I might recommend 12 Week Year for someone who wants more specific action items, but The One Thing seems like a good slightly-less-opinionated-and-actionable alternative to 12 Week Year.

I definitely don't regret my time listening to the audiobook. It was a very easy and quick listen.

I'll now try to incorporate this One Thing stuff in my daily routine.
I'm sucking at it for now as there are so many demanding tasks pulling at me.
Maybe my one thing should be making those more manageable so the company and my life doesn't fall too pieces :)

I would have enjoyed it more as an article, or short series.
