The method presented in it is based on a simple principle: at every time interval, in every project, and in every life sphere, you should focus your attention on only one task. At first glance, this approach seems like a utopia, but if you analyze the stories of truly successful—or even outstanding—people, it becomes clear that they all acted the same way: they focused on one thing and achieved phenomenal results. The author of *The One Thing* (“Start with the Main Thing!” in Russian), Gary Keller—owner of America’s largest real estate holding company—explains in detail how, following this principle, you won’t let the other processes slip out of control and will raise your productivity to inhuman heights.
