Man this book honestly changed my life. Before I was always beating myself over not perfecting everyday. The truth is, whenever I had a huge to do list nothing ever got done. Once I started focusing on the one thing and blocking out my time, staying consistent in each area of my life, I made more progress and I’m much happier.
Im trying it these days. It's really hard for me but I'm gonna make it happen. Any advice would be appreciated
Start 6:02
thanks!
thanks! really appreciate the link
What can I say... You're the best!
Tristian Bangert 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
🐐🐐🐐
As a lawyer I can attest that the disagreement frame is very accurate!
Thank you, Tim, for connecting these folks' (the guests you have) ideas with myself. It really helps to have a holistic view of the world.
wOW, this by far one of the most powerful interviews I've heard with you @tim such simplicity and power when applying the one thing question to all areas of your life. Amazing
Phenomenal interview ! Very applicable and can be implemented today
Love it! So much value here. Thanks for uploading
Gary Keller's divorce story and how he then met the love of his life was so relieving/beautiful to hear.
Gary, Thank you for sharing and blessing us with your precious time. Tim that was a wonderful interview. Thank you both so very much!
excellent, this has been so educational and inspirational. Great, great episode. Gary is a genius,I've learned a lot. Good job Tim!
This is so eye opening!!! Thank you!!
And inspiring story of Keller-Williams.
I loved, loved this interview, thank you for sharing such a wonderful insight. Thank you you bring amazing structure in our views. Amazing job.
Fantastic episode. Listened to it on my way to Deerfield Beach yesterday. Thanks for sharing, Tim!
Im about 13 mins away from Deerfield... small world.
Actual interview starts at 5:58
Wow this is fantastic. I have now another tool for my life, thanks for sharing, you have saved me so much time for my future.
Love the way podcast start 😍
Superb Podcast!
Damn this episode is Gold Nugget 👍
where do you find that "multi glance calendar" he mentions 1:08"??
"Who's the one person you could follow for your health such that by doing that, following anyone else would be easier or irrelevant?"
That's easy, it's Paul Chek
The grandfather!
Ok...I bit (on the thumbnail)
Just wondering when they get to the crux of the matter, i.e., the 'how-to ONE THING FOCUS'? , or was that just the mention of the book?
where is his channel? the world needs more of Gary in it
No interviewer gets more information out of a guest then Tim Ferriss.
Saludos desde Chile!!! 🇨🇱

1:30:00
THis is the first time I've listened to your interviews. I'm somewhat disappointed because I'm 45min to your interview with Gary and you still haven't discussed about the topic "the one thing". I'm comparing this with the interviews of Jay Papasan from other interviewers on youtube and they immediately talk about the topic and don't digress.
"I was...I was...I was...I was...31 years ild."
He is such a typical old school Texas guy. Very smart but I'd hate to work for him!
How come?
1:11 timeblocking
His parents applied to Baylor, FOR him?? (How was that possible, if they weren't 'cheating'...posing as him?)
Moral of the Podcast:
Don't Get Married
A year ago, I might have said the same, but I think that's the wrong takeaway. In the same breath, he said I met the love of my life and she's the best thing that ever happened to me. I don't think it's worthwhile to hold back from love because of the risk of getting hurt.
So you were who contacted me yesterday saying we were different from the rest of the world. And looked things a little differently in the digital marketing world??? It gotta be you cause when I click in your link I lose my place 2 days in a row... I would like to talk more... If possible... Im gonna make bank in the digital world. Who would have guessed a 48 year old truck driver could pull this off ...
'I ended up negotiating my divorce with my former boss' bruh straight to MGTOW
What's this mean?
Doesn't anybody have timestamps? 1 hour in the Podcast and nothing about focus, just Keller waffling about his private life.
Are 25 minutes inicial for don´t learning anything about how to Focus on the One Important Thing? It´s a waste of time..
Awful podcast, he spends 20 minutes "introducing" the show, then the rest of the show giving the story of Keller's life. The subject in the title is not talked about at all. At least the book gets right to the point, this show does not at all.
Even the book deviates a lot from the title.
lol this guy seems like he may be the problem, citing all these problems everywhere he goes and criticizing people. turned it off 40 mins in sorry
