Most of us associate the JUST DO IT! To the famous Nike ad slogan campaign. Although, that campaign garnered much due attention and an over emphasis on "just doing it," there is quite a liberation in taking its meaning literally.
I'm a type A, organized planner that pretty much has her day planned out and every event in it (the best that I can predict) all lined up. I'm a big "list maker" and often when I realize something that I need or want to do, I will write it down and decide on which list of which day that particular item should be handled.
However, lately after reading an article about how much time we waste "trying" to do it, instead of doing it, I decided to JUST DO IT! I can't tell you how much time I've freed up by just doing it instead of planning to do it, or writing it down to do it.
For example:
-I need to return those phone calls-pick up the phone and DO IT!
-I need to remember to pay those bills on the shelf-just grab them and DO IT!
-I need to schedule that dental cleaning-pick up the phone and DO IT!
You get it. In my work life, I always JUST DO IT! But, when it comes to things that I need to accomplish in my own life, I feel like they need to be scheduled in around work. When you adopt the concept of JUST DOING IT. See how your space opens up for more important things to come into your life!
