10 ‘One Thing’ self-coaching questions to make your life easier, simpler and happier
I was blown away by Gary Keller’s book The One Thing when I read it on the top floor of a Bangkok apartment complex in 2016.
I’d been going through plenty of stress back then.
I had taken on too many projects and felt stuck and confused.
The fluff-busting approach of asking the right, cutting questions to get to the heart of what’s most essential (ONE thing) helped me immensely.
I went from Procrastination Central to having one of the most creatively prolific years ever.
I’m borrowing Gary’s approach and weaving it into some self-coaching questions so you can enjoy the relief of identifying simple, high-leverage solutions for various challenges.
The emphasis here is on narrowing down the range of solutions to the best, most impactful, highest-priority answer.
Grab a pen and work through these questions. Feel free to list as many answers you can think of for each. The more, the better. Once you have a list, you can pick the most impactful one for each.
You may surprise yourself with how much impact a single question can introduce.
