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.

‘Nervous’ Does Not Equal ‘Not Doing’

‘There will be a moment when you have to step to your spotlight, but once you’ve done it, then it’s easy.’- Lucy Whittington

Stepping out of where we are comfortable is not easy for most of us. But that is what we really need if we want to make a difference in this world, if we want to change our lives.

If you are not making any progress, maybe you need to consider stepping into your own spotlight. Don’t hide yourself from your success.

Whatever it is that you are not comfortable doing, if you want to get better at it, you must face it.

It is okay to be scared, but you must do something about it. In the words of Lucy, ‘Nervous’ does not equal ‘not doing.”
