Three simple steps for getting things done...

Three simple steps for getting things done...

a77285f7.jpgI will admit the title I chose made me cringe a little because Iā€™m always a little suspicious about anything that touts an easy road. How does the saying go againā€¦ oh yes, ā€œAnything worth doing is never easyā€ (or something to this effect). And here I find myself suggesting you can get things done in three easy steps ā€” obviously a classic case of ā€œdo as I say, not as I doā€. I will admit at this point even Iā€™m a bit curious to hear myself outā€¦ before proceeding with some harsh condemnation.

In reality, after some consideration, the steps for getting things done are simple, although progressing through the steps will be complex, and sometimes very complex. So maybe it seems Iā€™ve been a little to premature with suggesting any harsh condemnation. In fact, letā€™s just shelve the whole idea because I think Iā€™m really onto something.


  • Propose what you want to do
  • Debate what you want to do and make a decision how to proceed
  • Execute on what you want to get done, and do it.


Isnā€™t this so universally classicā€¦ something so simple, yet so difficult ā€” somewhat analogous to starting something and believing it all can be said in in 500 words (or less). Iā€™m not sure if this is overly ambitious or just arrogant. I suppose I should have entitled this, ā€œThree simple steps for getting things doneā€¦ PART Iā€
