Sounds good in theory, and it's very inspirations, but is there any proof or research to back up these claims?

you know i meant inspirational. :P

Wish I can focus on only one thing. In one day i MUST focus on minimum 2-3 different jobs and commitment. Don't know is that ok but I don't have a better solution to progress in every aspect of life.

I am a master of spreading myself out. My one thing now is my blogging which I completely love and have more passion about than I can remember having about anything.

Great post... Thanks

I think it's collaboration. That's my focus.

I agree whole heartedly that if we put 100% of our focus on one thing we would be successful, why wouldn't you be.

I've heard Sugar Ray Leonard refer to it as tunnel vision. It's definately a technique I'm attempting to develop.

In reality it is a bit of a challenge in the real world.

For example, let's say you're in a relationship and you put 100% of your focus on your children, job or the household chores and not balance it to include your hubby...someone's NOT going to be happy.

Would you prefer your house be the cleanest, your children be the prettiest and your husband complaining and grumpy?

For me a successful balance is something more like a 80/20 split where I PRIORITIZE my attention in the direction it's most needed. It may not be rocket science but it works.

This was a thought provoking article to determine what WILL work for each of us.

Thanks all for sharing.

who is this guy & does he live like everyday folks?just to survive u can't focus on 1 thing. GET REAL MAN

How about, "To succeed in life you need to focus on one thing at a time."

When you're at work, focus on the one task at hand. If the most important thing in your day is finishing a spreadsheet, just focus on that until it's done. Unless the building is burining down or you need to take someone to the hospital, everything else can and will wait.

If the most important thing at home is to spend time with your wife and the kid still needs a bath and the dishes need to be done, do those other things WITH her. You're spending time AND completing the other crap.

I don't think the message is to focus on one thing 100% of the time, but to devote yourself entirely (and that can include planning a better strategy) to the one thing that matters the most to the situation at hand. I guess the biggest obstacle would be breaking down a complex situation to figure out what that most important thing is.

It still depends on what kind of success people are referring to. if success equates to money, will that be OK, regardless of how the person feels, especially when misery creeps in, as in Tiger Woods' case, and he slips up, falls into a trap of finding women not related to the kind of success that he knows? He is a case in point, right? One of the highest achievers and most successful people in the world becomes a failure in his private life---the economies of scale say, yes, he is financially successful, but Tiger needed more.---and not just one thing.

Success is defined by the factor cross the manners of creating monitary value surviving the collisions to the futuristic solidarity is the lossing factor metaphoric meaning among the logistics, ceo with tennis elbow life existences, friends and families is the definning meaning of life.

Success deserves better analysis, not just now but I feel applying total focus on the right tasks is the way to go.

Picking up again on the 80 20 thing the pareteer principle says 80 percent of your success comes 20. Thats it I feel but life is your experiment

As a corporate attorney specializing in the representation of entrepreneurs, I think it is a matter of making your goal (whatever it is) the number one priority in your life. I remember what my old tennis coach Harry Hopman used to preach: “it all comes down to one word – desire. How badly do you want it? How much are you willing to sacrifice?” Indeed, I love the quote from Ratan Tata (chairman of Tata Group, India’s largest conglomerate) in the Wall Street Journal a couple of weeks ago: “I really believe that there is a great strength in American capitalism that cannot be destroyed. It exists in the ability of anybody to be successful if they have the tenacity to do so.” Tenacity - that’s the word. Cheers, Scott
