#017 The ONE THING to Focus on for Engli...

KEVIN CONWELL
About this episode

If you're like me, it can seem like you have way too many things that you either want to do or "have" to do. And with your English learning, you might not be sure about what area to focus on, what vocab to learn, what skill to develop, etc... I find myself constantly feeling like I am behind on the things I am trying to accomplish. It's just one thing after the other. Should I do this or that? What will bring me the biggest result? Which direction should I follow? Am I wasting my time on this? It can be frustrating! The book The One Thing, by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, goes deep into the topic of finding the most important thing to focus on in all aspects of life. It could be a specific project you're working on, a new skill, or a life dream. Through looking at all situations from a macro and micro level, meaning what's the best next-step now right now and for the long term, and asking yourself something called the "focus question", the book offers great insight into how to achieve more success in life and business. This book really is a must-read! Get the free transcript at http://www.feelgoodenglish.com/one-thing/
