And that’s where the title of this post stems from. I’ve read a lot about “how to get things done” and improve productivity. But despite all that well meant advice, sometimes, you just don’t get things done! So today, I thought of exploring a couple of reasons, why we don’t see the results we want at the end of the day.
1. No clear goals
Without a specific sense of purpose, it’s impossible to effectively manage and organize your priorities. If you don’t have a clear idea of where you want to go, any road will take you there!2. Lack of priorities
The best to do list ever written is useless if it hasn’t been prioritized. Most people naturally work on the easy or fun things first. They may cross off majority of their list, but miss the most important items.3. No daily plan
Beginning your day without a plan of action is a formula for spending all day doing the wrong things. It invites anyone and everyone to interrupt your activities. You will passively allow unwelcome intrusions, because you’ll have no way to defend yourself.4. Procrastination
It sometimes seems like a good idea to put things off for tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day. But it catches up with you!5. Personal disorganization
No matter how organized your priorities are or how effective your daily plan is, you may be losing irretrievable time searching for things that are lost in the messes on your desk, in your files, closets and even your car!6. Perfectionism
Are you unable to complete and release an… until its perfectly done?Can you still see ways for something to be done better? Even if you can’t see anything, does it nag you that there must be something you overlooked?
