Brian Tracy Success: Double Productivity
Brian Tracy has an excellent collection of podcasts that will move anyone closer to their goals. This article summarizes “21 Great Ways To Double Your Productivity – Number 11” Podcast. He explains the concept of “Single-Handling Key Tasks.”
This technique is so powerful that Dale Carnegie, one of the richest men of his time, credited his success to this one secret. If that’s true, then it would be important to master this approach.
But to put even more weight on this topic, Brian Tracy says that a person can boost his productivity by up to 50% on the very first day of using this technique. I think that’s worth listening to, don’t you?
What is Single-Handling Key Tasks?
Basically, it’s choosing the most important task you have to complete and working on it (without distraction) until it’s done. Brian Tracy breaks it into three steps:
1. Make a list of everything you have to do.
2. Mark the absolute most important item on your list.
3. Begin to work on that task, and that task alone, until it is 100% complete.
Remember the Two Keys of Success
Brian Tracy says that the two keys to success are:
1. Focus
2. Concentration
