Get more things done

Action isn't just the effect of motivation, but also the cause of it - Mark Manson

Get more things done with 2 steps

  • Physically get the ass in work position

  • Do one small thing

It’s simple, but it isn’t easy. Oftentimes, we do everything in our power to avoid that first step. We grab another cup of coffee, go for a walk, read a book, run errands. Before I wrote this piece, I meticulously rearranged my bookshelf. I tried to escape. The voice inside my head told me to turn on Netflix.

But instead, I sat down at my desk. I put my phone away and closed my internet browser. And I started working on the one small thing that I scheduled for the day. Then, like magic, I was working.
