6 Brutal Truths About
Productivity No One Wants to
Talk About
Humans are prolific procrastinators. People
have struggled with habitual hesitation going
back to ancient civilizations. It’s easy to
make plans and throw dates on your
calendar, and yet it’s practically inevitable
that you’ll let some deadlines fly whilst you
still have some tasks unfinished.
Every one strives to do better every day. But
the harsh reality is that until you are 100%
committed to doing actual work, nothing else
matters. Your fancy goals and weekly to-do
lists won’t help you if you can’t commit to
doing them.
People have the mental capacities to make
ambitious plans, yet almost no time at all to
put them into practice. It’s easier to plan but
a lot more difficult to do something about
those plans. No webinar, no online course,
no ebook, no mentorship will help you if you
do not go all in and get things done and
actually check them off your to-do list.
Confused, lost and uncertain? You are not
alone. Feeling under pressure to deliver? It’s
the same old problems for everyone.
Sometimes you lose control. There are many
occasions when you feel uncomfortable and
unfulfilled because of your inactions.
Many people who hear or read what
productivity hacks and strategies won’t do
anything with the information. They go back
to their lives, don’t change anything and get
the same results they were getting before:
not getting stuff done.
Your actions define you, not
your thoughts
“Action is the foundational key to all success.”
–Pablo Picasso
Don’t spend all your time thinking about
everything you can make better or do.
Conceptualizing a better world won’t help
you make progress. Until you start doing
what needs to be done, you’re not actually
making a difference.
Good intention is a great thing but it counts
for nothing if you don’t take action. Action
begets results. Results is what you want not
ideas. You are judged by your outputs, not
your thoughts. It pays to take real action in
the direction of your goals.
Getting started is the
biggest hurdle!
“To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as
one thinks is the most difficult.” — Johann
Wolfgang Von Goeth
The biggest hurdle for many of us is simply
getting started. Making that important
decision to take a step. You can be as big and
successful as you can possibly imagine if you
build that mindset you need to push yourself
to make that all important decision to just
start.
You have everything you need to make an
impact in the world if you can get past the
many reasons why should postpone that
task. Don’t think too far into the future. Use
what you have right now at where you are
and witness the magic of getting things done.
You will never be able to do it all
Success demands a singleness of purpose. —
Vince Lombardi
Do one thing well, not three things badly!
Many people want do well at work. And
make the most of their skills. It’s incredible
what you risk and do to progress. But
sometimes you will have nothing to show for
it. What you choose to do may be good use
of your time but you probably won’t be able
to show real results.
You won’t be able to do everything this week
or this month. And that’s okay. As long as
you are consistent and stick to the process.
Sometimes priorities change. That’s part of
the journey. It’s better to be clear about what
you want to get done at any moment in time
than combining multiple tasks.
It’s so easy to get seduced into the
importance of a task, project or job and
drive yourself insane to over deliver or
impress. But it’s always important to take
time out and ask: What am I risking or
taking for granted? What could I have done
different to achieve the same results? At the
end of the day, is that the best use of my
time?
Distraction is the enemy!
“If you see distraction externally, you end up
creating an internally distracted state.” —
Tim Ferriss
Demand for our time is increasingly
exceeding our capacity — draining us of the
energy we need to bring our skill and talent
fully to life.
We are currently exposed to an
unprecedented flood of information and
requests than ever before. And we feel
compelled to read and respond at all hours
of the day and night. Being selective, doing
less, is the path of the productive. It pays to
focus on the important few and ignore the
rest.
“The net is designed to be an interruption
system, a machine geared to dividing
attention,” Nicholas Carr explains in his
book “ The Shallows: What the Internet Is
Doing to Our Brains. ” “We willingly accept
the loss of concentration and focus, the
division of our attention and the
fragmentation of our thoughts, in return for
the wealth of compelling or at least diverting
information we receive.”
There is no perfect time!
“Do not wait: the time will never be ‘just right’.
Start where you stand, and work with
whatever tools you may have at your
command and better tools will be found as
you go along.” — Napoleon Hill
Stop looking for a perfect time to start work.
Are you waiting for a perfect time to do that
task or start that project? There can never be
a best time to do anything. The perfect time
is now. You may have convinced yourself
that now is not the best time because of X, Y,
Z reasons.
But come tomorrow, you will still give
yourself another excuse. Just get on with it.
Re-clarify your goals (get rid of your fuzzy
goals). What exactly do you want to achieve?
What should you do to get there? What are
the steps to take? Does your current work
align with that? If not, what can you do
about it?
Sometimes the best thing to do
is: nothing
“Reflect on what you do in a day. You may
have never realised how some simple
harmless activities rob you of precious time.”
— Vivek Naik
Life is a challenge. Sometimes it’s common to
feel like you’re constantly working against
the clock every day, and moving plans and
tasks around to meet deadlines. And guess
what, when you do take time to relax … you
feel guilty. But you shouldn’t.
Many productivity resources are focused on
what you can do MORE of in order to
achieve your goals. But MORE is hard to
achieve. Many people can’t get a lot done.
And they get anxious and stressed even
more.
Doing nothing refreshes your mind. Taking
breaks in our mental work is equally helpful.
Brief diversions improve focus, according to
research. Taking a break allows you to come
back to your task with renewed energy and
sense of purpose.
The next time you feel guilty about doing
nothing, consider how much more effective
it may make you in the long run.
