How To Get More Important Things Done

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

You can do more. You have what it takes to do more, to get more important things done. Getting busy is good. It is not a bag thing. The question is, ‘What are we busy doing?’

Just getting busy for the sake of getting busy is not going to get you what you want. You are not going to be able to achieve your dreams by doing the wrong things.

You are not going to arrive at where you are going if you are on the wrong path. Unless you change what you are doing, what you are getting is going to stay the same.

Unless you change your thoughts, your actions are going to stay the same. Unless you change what you are doing right now, where you are going is not going to change. Your results are not going to change.

To change where you are going, to get more done, get yourself together. Get your thoughts together. Do not worry about your results. Because what you are doing right now is not the end of your growth. It is just the beginning of your growth. And no one can grow, no one can do more if we are not willing to fail, if we are scared to be who we are. And if we are not willing to make ourselves uncomfortable.

To get more done, ask yourself, ‘What is it that I really want to achieve in my life? What is stopping me from doing it? Why am I not there yet? What is holding me back? How am I going to get over what is holding me back? What am I going to do? Who can help me?

Be real when you are answering the above questions. Do not lie. If you lie, you will never grow. Why is that? Because growth starts with honesty.

Say positive things to yourself. When you are going through challenges, say something like, ‘I can do this. I have done it before.’ Positive words relaxe our nerves. Negative words depress our nerves.

To get more done, focus on what is important to you, what you want to get done. When it comes to getting more done, it is not about more. It is about doing what is important to you, not what is urgent.

Remember, when it comes to getting more done, activity is not productivity. Do not forget that.

Are You Paying Attention To The People Around You?

‘No one succeeds alone and no one fails alone. Pay attention to the people around you.’– Gary Keller

If you want to know what is going on around you, you must pay attention to the people around you. Do not forget yourself.

Just because people are not talking to you does not mean that everything is okay. Do not wait for them to come to you. If you are really interested in what is going on around you, you must get up and meet your people where they are.

They are human beings. Pay attention to what is going on with them. Pay attention to what they are not telling you. That is more important than what they are telling you.

If you are around people who don’t have the courage to tell you what you need to hear, you are not with the right people.

They are not helping you by not telling you what you need to hear. It is important to be around great people, people who are with you to help you get better, not to drag you down.

To go up, you need the right people in your life. To go down, you need the wrong people in your life. And the wrong people are everywhere. You have got to pay attention to the people around you.

They matter. They know you. They can help you get better, achieve success, and they can also take you down.

Life is more fun when you are with the right people. Difficult things are easier to manage when you are working with the right people, when your team members are doing the real work.

Life is better when you have trusted people around you. Trusted people are givers, not takers. They are with you to help you get better, not to drag you down.

When you are with them, you don’t want the day to end. You just want to keep going. You just want to keep working. And you don’t want them to go home.

Trusted people are there for you when you need them, when things are tough. They are not with you to exploit you, but to nurture you. To help you get to your next level.

If the people around you are not supporting your dreams, then you have got a lot of work to do. One of the best ways to deal with them is to commit yourself to your dreams. Do not disrespect them, but do not let them talk you out of your dreams.

If you do, you are going to be the biggest loser. And they are going to be the biggest winners. Do not let that happen. Don’t!
