THE FOCUSING QUESTION 


YOU LEAD YOUR LIFE BY ASKING GREAT QUESTIONS

 

“I CREATED A VISION OF DAVID IN MY MIND AND SIMPLY CARVED AWAY EVERYTHING THAT
WAS NOT DAVID”        

MICHELANGELO




THE FOCUSING QUESTION


START YOUR JOURNEY INTO BEING A FREED THINKER

"I CREATED A VISION OF DAVID IN MY MIND AND SIMPLY CARVED AWAY EVERYTHING THAT
WAS NOT DAVID”  MICHELANGELO


Andrew Carnegie, the man often referred to as the greatest industrialist of the
20th century, was standing in front of a room of wide-eyed students at Curry
Commercial College. 

“‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,’ is wrong” he counseled. “I tell you
‘put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket. Look round you and
take notice; men who do that do not often fail.”

The question is, which basket do you watch? More to the point, how do you know
which basket is the right basket, to begin with? The answer is you ask a
question, one that removes ambiguity.

You ask a focusing question.




THE POWER OF A QUALITY QUESTION

We all have goals we want to achieve and challenges we want to overcome. We want
to get things done, make more money, lose weight, exercise regularly and more.

To move closer toward where we want to be, we need answers. But not just any
answers—answers that will give us the quickest, easiest and cheapest way
possible.

We search for the best way to save money, the easiest way to lose weight, the
cheapest way to travel. But in doing so, we fail to realize it’s not the answer
that matter; it’s the initial question.

Often, we fail to realize we can have the best answer in the world, but if it
belongs to the wrong question, at this moment, it doesn’t matter.

The goal, then, isn’t always to search for better answers, it’s to ask better
questions. But finding the right question isn’t always easy, is it? After all,
you don’t know what you don’t know.

If, like in the above example, you’re blind to the real challenge, it’s hard to
see your ailment for what it actually is: a symptom of a more serious,
undiagnosed problem.  

Our goals don’t always come with a blueprint. And even when they do, they might
not come with the right blueprint. After all, what worked for one person might
not work for you. If we are to achieve in life and work, we need to create our
own blueprint, one that’s predictable and repeatable.

So, how do you come up with and uncommon question that cane take you to an
uncommon answer?

You ask one question: The Focusing Question.


THE FOCUSING QUESTION


"WHAT'S THE ONE THING I CAN FOCUS ON SUCH THAT BY DOING IT EVERYTHING ELSE WILL
BE EASIER OR UNNECESSARY?" 

The Focusing Question forces you to make the best decision about what to focus
on and what actions to take. 

If you’re working on a project with many actions, The Focusing Question forces
you to rank what matters in order of importance. With each ask, you see your
next outcome. Put simply, you set yourself up to do one action on top of
another.

Powered by The Focusing Question, your actions become a natural progression of
building one right thing on top of the previous right thing. When this happens,
you’re in a position to experience the power of the domino effect.

The Focusing Question collapses all possible questions into one:

1. “What’s the ONE Thing I can focus on…”

There are many actions you can take when moving toward a goal or overcoming a
challenge. But, as mentioned above, the right way might not be the right way
now. To make life easier, “What’s my ONE Thing” forces you to focus on ONE,
specific action. Not something you could do or should do. But rather something
you can and will do. Now.

2. “… such that by doing it …”

We’ve all confused being busy with getting the right things done.There’s
something seductive about checking items off the proverbial to-do list. The
rationale? If we mark off the easy to-dos first, then we will have made
progress. But if the other items don’t move you toward your end goal, does it
matter?

“… such that by doing it …” is the bridge between just doing something and doing
something for a specific purpose, something that actually moves you closer to
where you want to be.

3. “… everything will be easier or unnecessary?”

“… everything will be easier or unnecessary …” helps remove the trivial many
tasks and activities and focus on the essential action, the ONE Thing that
matters.

Most people struggle to comprehend how many things don’t need to be done if they
would just start by doing the right thing.


THE FOCUSING QUESTION IN PRACTICE

The Focusing Question can lead you to answer not only “big picture” questions
(Where am I going? What target should I aim for?) but also “small focus” ones as
well (What must I do right now to be on the path to getting the big picture?
Where’s the bullseye?)



You can also add a category (e.g. “for my job”) and a time frame—such as “right
now” or “this year”—to give your answer the appropriate level of immediacy. Or,
if you prefer, “five years” or “someday” to find a big-picture answer that helps
you move forward.

You can templatize The Focusing Question as follows:

“What’s the ONE Thing I can do [goal] [time frame] such that by doing it
everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”

Here are a few category-specific examples:

 * For my job, what’s the ONE Thing I can do to ensure I hit my goals today such
   that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”

 * For my health, what’s the ONE Thing I can do to achieve my diet goals this
   week such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

 * For my key relationships, what’s the ONE Thing I can do to improve my
   relationship with my spouse/partner this month such that by doing it
   everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

 * For my business, what’s the ONE Thing I can do to make us more competitive
   this quarter such that by doing it everything else will be easier or
   unnecessary?

 * For my finances, what’s the ONE Thing I can do to increase my net worth this
   year such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

The Focusing Question isn’t something you ask once; it’s something you need to
ask often, a question you turn to for clarity to ensure you’re on the right
track. Make it a keystone habit and give it the attention it deserves daily.
