NOW YOU CAN HAVE BOTH - LESS AND MORE.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Simple but Powerful Approach to Achieving Goals
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 September 2026*

The One Thing is a very good and practical book about focusing on what matters most instead of trying to do everything at once. The central idea is simple but powerful: identifying your most important priority and giving it your attention can help you make meaningful progress towards your bigger goals.I particularly liked how the book encourages prioritisation, focus and consistency. It is easy to understand and contains ideas that can be applied to both personal and professional life.Pros:Simple and easy-to-understand conceptEncourages better focus and prioritisationPractical ideas that can be applied in everyday lifeHelpful for people who feel overwhelmed by too many goalsMotivating and thought-provokingCons:Some ideas can feel repetitiveThe basic concept is quite simple, so readers already familiar with productivity books may find some parts less newReading tips: For best outcome pair it with books like Ikigai

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simplifies Life
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 May 2013*

First, I confess to a lifelong struggle with procrastination and dragging my feet which has turned me into a bit of a productivity junkie.Having set the scene, I found this book very helpful. The authors use stories to illustrate their premise - which always makes things easier to assimilate and understand - they also draw in threads from other books I have read recently which rather reinforces the points made there.The book is an easy and enjoyable read but that doesn't mean its message doesn't pack a useful punch. It does. It is motivating as well as informative and practical.I really liked the fact that the solution proposed is not just work related - the authors encourage you to focus on all domains of life - not, as they point out, to achieve balance but to recognise there is more to life than work.The tips given about goal setting included the regular stuff that fellow productivity junkies will have read many times before BUT there is also a significant addition. an exercise, which you will almost certainly resist doing but if you do I am certain you will experience one of those 'aha' epiphanies of where it has all been going wrong in the past.The only reason I haven't awarded 5 stars is because I think there was a chunk of repeated information at the back of the book which was unnecessary and I also question the price (I bought the KIndle edition) which did seem on the high side. (But that says more about my expectations than the value offered by the book).Definitely recommended to anyone who is ending each day with a lot crossed off the ubiquitous list but with a sense of no-thing being done.
