SUMMARY
This book starts with the qoute : IF YOU CHASE TWO
RABBITS YOU WILL NOT CATCH EITHER ONE.
That means for achieving extra ordinary results you have
to focus on just one thing . If you will focus on so many
things at a time you probably will not be able to do all the
things effectively why is that so? It is because your focus
and concentration will be divided and you will and up
doing nothing or not in a right way.
KEY POINTS:
 Small dominos can drop down big dominos all you
have to do is ARRANGE THEM RIGHT.
 Do fewer things with more effects instead of doing
so many things with less effects
 Try to make your focus narrow
 Not everything deserves equal time.
 Multitasking is a lie
 Success is sequential
 Resting is as important as working
 Say no frequently
PRACTICAL IMPLICATION
Create a success list instead of to do list. To do list has
all the things that you could to and you should do where
as success list has all the things that you should do. The
idea is to make things simple and less complicated.
Focusing question: ask yourself what I should do first
such that by doing so all other things will become easier
or less important. This is the way to find out your one
thing that’s important.
After you have picked your one thing all you need to do
is focus on that thing only work on that thing you
should reserve some hours and focus on to work on that
one thing only.
THE DOMINO EFFECT:
The small domino can topple the dominos that are 50
times bigger that it. Each standing domino represent a
small amount of potential energy the more you line up
the more potential energy you have accumulated.
