Day 29
The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan emphasizes focusing on the single most important task in any area of your life to achieve extraordinary results.
The book teaches the power of prioritization, guiding readers to simplify their approach by identifying and acting on the "one thing" that will make the biggest impact in their goals, careers, or personal lives.
"What’s the ONE thing you can do, such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?" —Gary Keller
Why read it?
I read The ONE Thing, and it completely shifted how I think about productivity.
Instead of trying to juggle everything at once, this book taught me to focus on what truly matters—what will drive the biggest results.
If you feel overwhelmed with too many tasks or unsure where to start, The ONE Thing will show you how simplifying and narrowing your focus can lead to extraordinary success.
Day 30
Make Your Bed by Admiral William H. McRaven shares lessons he learned as a Navy SEAL.
It’s all about how small habits, like making your bed every morning, can lead to bigger successes in life.
It also teaches you how to stay strong during tough times, work well with others, and never give up.
"If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed." —Admiral William H. McRaven
Why read it?
You should read Make Your Bed because it’s super inspiring and easy to read.
Unlike many self-help books, it’s refreshing because it’s based on real-life stories from the author's Navy SEAL training and war experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Admiral McRaven uses powerful personal examples, like recovering from a brutal skydiving accident or enduring 16 hours covered in mud, to show how discipline and mindset can help you succeed in life.
