🎙️Master Your Focus: The One-Thing Rule for Consistent Progress at Work (Week 1 - May Consistency Challenge) #MayConsistencyChallenge

Episode Description:

Feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list? In this episode of the Get Organized at Work podcast, we’re kicking off Week 1 of the May Consistency Challenge with one powerful focus strategy: the One-Thing Rule.

Instead of trying to do it all, you’ll learn how choosing one priority task each day can help you stay consistent, reduce stress, and make real progress in your leadership and career.

Tune in for practical tips on how to:

✅ Set your “one thing” the day before

✅ Use a “Focus First” block to minimize distractions

✅ Let go of perfection and build momentum

✅ Reflect on your daily focus with a 2-minute journaling prompt

Whether you're a busy professional, people manager, or healthcare leader trying to stay productive without burning out, this episode will help you get organized, stay consistent, and focus on what truly matters.
