What’s The One Thing? It’s simply your most important thing. 

Figuring out where to focus your attention can be difficult. It raises some central questions like: where to place our energy? How do we keep calm on meaningless things and focus on what truly matters? 

Authors Gary Keller and Jay Papasan have studied the art of prioritization and wrote The ONE Thing as a resource for those looking to find order.  Published in 2012,  the book guides people to figure out what is the one thing they need to focus on. 

Keller and Papasan’s work was a key inspiration for the app, The One Thing. Created as part of the Graphical User Interface course, the app is designed to help users understand their daily activities that align with their deepest personal priorities. The app walks users through a process of reflection, asking them to analyze their current actions and aspirations. 

This app was especially created to help people who are feeling too stressed, too anxious, too busy, or too tired. The creator hopes that The One Thing will help people remember what is most important and reorganize their daily priorities accordingly.  

Take a moment, breathe. Your One Thing is here to guide you.
