Just Start Doing It!

The toughest part of doing something, no matter if a favor for a friend, your work or household tasks, is actually getting things started. But once you start, you get involved into successfully completing what you’re currently doing.

Here’s how productivity works for me: I simply start doing what I have to do. As I get more and more involved into the process, I get motivated to show that my invested efforts will have an effect. That’s what all the fuss around Gettings Things Done is – eliminating distractions, concentrating and simply starting to work.

However, I doubt that you need whole books on the topic. At least, after reading some of them, including David Allen’s bestsellers, I’ve come up to the simple conclusion: Just start doing it!
