To Get More Done, Do Less

If you want to get more done - I mean actually done - try doing less.

Or do less 'trying'. In other words, stop trying to do so much.

It's natural and human to be overwhelmed by a big 'to do' list, and we often react by finding even more things to do, just to avoid tackling the overwhelming list. By distracting ourselves we achieve very little.

So, keep your 'to do' list very small - keep to only three or four tasks per day of an hour or less - and forget the things you'll need to do tomorrow and the day after, and so on, until today's jobs are done and dusted. 

Get things done by deciding what today's things really need to be.

Getting it Done

I mentioned my cycling blog a couple of days ago and how pleased I was that people were actually reading it. That wouldn't happen if it wasn't there to read and it wouldn't be there if I didn't write it.

So, getting it done was the key. Not getting it finished (it won't be finished until it's finished, if ever), but getting it done. One post was all it took, and then another, and so on.

Even without an end in sight, an end is being achieved - just by getting on with it.
