Part three of this book is a huge section with lots of great principles and practices to help focus down to your ONE thing. Through the different habits and goals developed throughout your life, you can truly achieve your dream goal. This is a journey. Actions build on action. Habits build on habit. Success builds on success. All success starts within you.   

Great businesses are built one productive person at a time.  

1. Live with Purpose  
2. Live by Priority  
3. Live for Productivity

Our purpose sets our priority and out priority determines the productivity our actions produce. Purpose determines who we are. Humans constantly are searching for the next thing that will make us happy. Enjoy your successes. Who we are and where we want to go determine what we do and what we accomplish. 

When each day begins, we each have a choice. Set your priorities. Purpose without priority is powerless. Develop a goal and reward. The farther away a reward is in the future, the smaller the immediate motivation to achieve it. Are you doing this to simply do the best you can do, or are you doing this to do it the best it can be done? Training your mind how to think, how to connect one goal with the next over time until you know the most important thing you just do right now. Connect today to all your tomorrows. Do your habits today match up with what you want to achieve later? Think big and work small. 

Goal Setting to the NOW:
Someday Goal  
Five-Year Goal  
One-Year Goal  
Monthly Goal  
Weekly Goal  
Daily Goal  
Right Now  

Productive actions transform lives. Great success shows up when time is devoted every day to becoming great. Time Blocking is a great habit and tool to set yourself up for success. It harnesses your energy and centers it on your most important work. Resting is as important as working. Block off time as early in your day as you possibly can. Most productive people work on event time. Clock time (5 o’clock and gone) vs Event time (my work is done when it’s done). Be a maker in the morning and a manager in the afternoon. Reflect on where you are and where you want to go. Block an hour each week to review your annual and monthly goals. Learn how to protect your time to make sure it gets done; if you erase you must replace.  

Time Block: 

1. Your time off 
2. Your ONE thing 
3. Your planning time  

Have a calendar to stay focused and committed to your ONE thing. Put big red Xs on your calendar when you do your ONE thing and don’t break the chain. When stuff pops into your head, just write it down on a task list and get back to what you’re supposed to be doing.  

Protect your time: 

1. Build a bunker. Your own place without distractions  
2. Store provisions. Be able to stay in that place 
3. Sweep for mines. 100% of attention, turn off your phone, email, etc 
4. Enlist support. Let others see the big picture. 

The There Commitments:

1. Follow the Path of Mastery -- It takes 10,000 hours to become an expert. 10,000/365 (1 hr per day) = 27.397 years 
2. Move from “E” to “P”  -- E = Entrepreneurial - natural approach and limiting to P = Purposeful - unnatural achieve breakthroughs  
3. Live the Accountability Cycle -- People who wrote goals were 39.5% more likely to succeed. Those who told friends progress were 76.7% more likely to achieve them.  Elite performers seek out teachers and coaches 

The Four Thieves: 

1. Inability to say “No”  -- When you say yes to something it's imperative that you understand what you're saying no to.
2. Fear of Chaos -- When you strive for greatness, chaos is guaranteed to show up.  
3. Poor health habits -- Personal energy mismanagement is a silent thief of productivity.   
4. Environment doesn't support your goals -- People and place are the foundations for your ONE thing. The physical environment is important. Think of it as having to walk down an aisle of candy every day when you're trying to lose weight.
