One Simple Tip To Get Sh*t Done

Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it." ― Habakkuk 2:2 

“Writing practice is life practice. Where we get unstuck in our writing, we get unstuck in our lives.” ― Allison Fallon

"A blank piece of paper is God's way of telling us how hard it is to be God." ― Sidney Sheldon

People love to dream big.

We love to discuss our plans and ideas with family, friends and colleagues.

You can spend hours daydreaming about the decisions you need to take, and the actions you need to start implementing. In fact, it is easy to cycle through all that needs to be done in your mind and visualize the outcomes.

This is where for many, the story ends.

Many people get stuck with their plans but never actualizing them. They are in inertia, seemingly unable to take the first step.

For others, they rush into it, figuring it out as they go. They get burned, curse their luck and quit, only to repeat the same cycle again in the near future.

One simple hack I have discovered to getting sh*t done and done properly, is this:

Write. It. Down.

Sounds pretty simplistic, doesn't it?

And yet it is an often overlooked step by many.

Take a moment before you start, and write down what you want to do, why you are doing it, and how you plan to do it.

Be very detailed especially in describing the "How".

Do you know why this is so effective?

Your memory isn't so reliable. While thinking you may figure out many things, but forget them in days or weeks. Your brain is for thinking, your notebook is for remembering. 

Any unnecessary work items will become obvious and can be eliminated.

You will develop a clearer understanding of the best approach.

You will discover the tasks that you can delegate to others, and the ones you must do yourself.

The document will serve as a reminder for you, on what you must focus on.

There is a popular adage that a problem shared is a problem half solved.

Well guess what? Writing is a form of communication, a medium to share your problems.

Start writing more today, and watch yourself swing into action with more clarity, focus and passion.

Welcome to the new month of September! Go forth and crush your goals!!!

Cheers,
