It seems like a key to greatness if focus, so I guess the lesson is be careful how you spread it. @ Alik

P.S. wrt "The great ones aren’t well rounded." - do you think it works the other way around? - LOL ;). I liked the book a lot – thanks for recommending it to me.

He said 80% of success is showing up, so the other 20% must be the key. Before Google, I had to use a lot of bookmarks ;) @ Positively Present Thank you. I want to make sharing information as simple as possible. @ Melissa I'm opportunistic. The more I get results from books, the more I make time for them. I use sticky notes to pick up where I leave off, so that helps me work through a wide range of books Yes, I think you're super power is definitely with writing. @ Jannie

Where do you find the time? I'm off now to think about what my 20 percent spike is. I'm sure it has something to do with writing. As I read this, it occurs to me that you read an awful lot of books.

I love reading about your take aways. You always do such a great job of making the key points so clear and easy-to-understand. I love the concept of 80/20 and this book sounds really interesting.

Guess I'm in on that. And Productive Narcissist probably seals the deal! And what was the percentage for success Woody Allen suggested, in terms of just showing up? 20% also seems to stick out but I'd have to Google that. And what did we ever do before Google searches?
