Thanks for the webinar and the sample chapters, my son and I watched it together and actually slowed down our multitasking to less than 5 things during the webinar.

I am convinced from your arguments during the webinar that I need to start focusing on one thing at a time in the future, It may take a little while to get into this habit but it could be very beneficial.

I enjoyed the webinar.  I have been thinking about the "One Thing" that would propel my business forward and I know what it is.  Now if I can stop multi-tasking and use my time wisely that would be great. Thanks for the chapters!

I read "The Power of Full Engagement" by Tony Schwartz a few years back. .I remember that afterwards, I never looked at multitasking as a friend. .one of the reasons that I have a timer on my desktop when working . .I will ready the One Thing. . but I also strongly suggest Tony's book for anyone interested in increasing their production
