What’s your one thing?

I have a great film clip I use when I’m talking about simplicity.

I was reminded of this clip as I read Peter Bregman’s terrific post in his How We Work blog on the Harvard Business site.  Bregman uses his recent weight loss to illustrate — in very simple terms – a similar principle to the one that “Curly” uses in City Slickers.

Take a look at the video, and then ask yourself, What’s your one thing?

What’s the one thing you can do to achieve your biggest remaining 2009 goal before year-end?

What’s the one thing you can do to eliminate your biggest barrier to success?

What’s the one thing you can do to make your home life happier?

In a world of To Do lists and constant distractions, we need to spend a bit more time trying to figure out what that one thing is.  For me, I’ve had more success lately when I Eat the Frog.  It may not be my one thing.  But it’s a start.
