Just Do It = Victory?

Filed under: General Productivity - Nels @ 10:41 pm

Okay, so maybe it is merely coincidence that probably the most famous slogan in recent history (Just Do It) is from the company named after the Goddess of Victory. But there certainly is a correlation… Just Do It = Victory.

I’d been studying GTD, 43Folders, etc. for about 2-3 months before it kind of hit me last week.

I’d been tweaking and changing systems like Carrie buy shoes… and I thought that was the cool part of GTD. Systems are Pretty. Shiny. Cool.

I know from reading the 43Folders Google Group, that it’s not just a problem for a few people. If you’re a tweaker or a system-switcher, you are not alone. And you don’t need help. You just have to realize (as I did , and as I believe most people will if they keep trying to implement GTD) that in order to Get Things Done… you have to get things done.

Repeat: You have to get things done.

You have to get something done.

You have to get anything done.

Just do It.

Your system is fine. Now stop messing with it and do something. Then you’ll have more time to watch S&TC.
