Getting Things Done Takes Effort

“When it comes to getting things done, we need

fewer architects and more bricklayers.”

Colleen C. Barrett, President of Southwest Airlines  

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Getting things done takes effort

 

Talking about it doesn’t get things done . . . . it’s just a lot of conversation with no action.

 

Thinking about things without action . . . . won’t go very far in getting things done. In time your thoughts without action fade away . . . . and become a distant memory.

 

When you have a vision with a plan . . . . and want things done your on your way to getting them done. It will also take rolling up your sleeves . . . . and hard work to getting things done.

 

If you want to get things done . . . . commit yourself to the activities to successfully reach your objectives. Also commit yourself to a course of action . . . . and to stay the course. When you’re committed . . . . and have a plan to get things done you won’t become distracted by the obstacles that you encounter.

 

Do what has to be done . . . . Make the efforts to keep you moving in the right direction . . . . and stay on course remaining focused on your desired outcome.

 

Getting things done takes effort . . . . commitment . . . . hard work . . . . time . . . . and patience’s. . .

Lou, the difference between a Plan and a Dream is action.

Yep, in order to finish something you have to start it. Once you start something, you are doing it, and eventually it will be done. But that first step has to be taken!

Kay is right on the money! To get things done is totally worth the feeling that getting it done provides and more should be said about this I think. Kat Palmiotti

Argh! So very true, Lou. I've spent several hours this morning trying to figure out why my cell phone video clips no longer upload to my YouTube site. I think we figured it out, but not without a lot of time and effort. I feel like a fish swimming upstream.

Lou, To get stuff done business or personal means you have to just jump in do it. Plan and strt the project instead of talking or thinking about it.
