I don't think there is much new to say but there are new ways to say things. David Steve,

You’ve highlighted a metaphor that is unbelievably “sticky” and creates a mental picture that won’t go away.

Everyone hears and understands the words “focus” and “prioritize”, but the sheer exposure has weakened their impact. This offers a new way of processing a proven truth…

It is tempting to twitter as we surf and write a blog post and listen to music... David Marsha:

Far too much has been made of multi-tasking. We're always only doing one thing at a time. We may trade-off, but no matter how much we do that, nor how fast we move, it's one thing. The one ball concept is particularly important because the Internet actually encourages fractured thinking and distraction. Focus gets us much further. Depth and intensity such as Anna displays in her routine are attributes I'm going for in 2009. Thanks! A very important post, David. Far too much has been made of multi-tasking.

We often forget that if we try to catch every ball, we'll drop them all. My 1 ball is figuring out how to do freelance only by the end of 2009. That is a pretty darn big ball ;) Great post!
