The Greatest Productivity Tip in the World
On the ZenHabits blog I read about a cool meme spreading fast around the blogosphere. It was created by The Instigator Blog and has so far impacted tens of productivity blogs.
Here I am, joining the meme with Hack the Day’s Greatest Productivity Tip
If I were to give you one and only one productivity tip (but, trust me, in the days to come you’ll learn tens and hundreds of them), this would be…
Get Started! Now!
Don’t just sit there planning about doing stuff. Go ahead and DO it!
What’s it all about?
You can have zillions of extraordinary ideas, wonderful plans and amazing strategies. None of them matters if you never get started. Trust me. I should know best.
I am an amazing dreamer, always conceiving plans, thinking of business ventures, projects and the like. How many did I actually try? Less than 5, most of them failures right from the start. But from each failure I learned a lot more than from all the plans before it.
Each failed try only makes you wiser and more prepared for success. Fear of actually starting something only makes you waste time and intellectual resources.
That’s about it, my huge secret, the most important single tip I want to give you.
I’m going to (almost randomly) tag this further to eDragonu, todoorelse and Lifedev. Hope this meme gets through to them…
Do it! What a great tip. I have been trying to see all of the tips on this meme, there are a lot of them.
