It is the nature of things that people will do the absolute minimum required to live, so how can you do that and live a maximum life?

This may sound like semantics, but in reality if you want to get out of doing anything, get things done. 

People talk a lot about doing, but few talk about getting things done and although it may sound like some sort of backward speech, it isn’t, because the largest barrier to getting free is having a bunch of things left UNDONE.

The dinner isn’t over until the dishes are washed.

Lets face it, having a nice dinner sours when you walk into the kitchen later on and seeing it full of dirty dishes, pots and pans. 

But, it is so common to live life with a long list of things undone. We’ve ”worked on” it, but they aren’t done. What you find is, that when you don’t finish something and pick it up again to finish it, you almost have to go back to the beginning and then the result is the same. You get to the same point and stop before it is done. 

Getting it done is more important than the actual doing of it. 

The fact is, there is always going to be new things you have to get done, and if you don’t get things done from the past, that list becomes overwhelming in a short amount of time. 

The habit to get in is to get one thing done at a time. Finishing one simple thing is worth 10 times working on 10 things and not getting any of them done. 

Get the things done that are the easiest to complete first. This momentum will carry into the more difficult tasks. 

I don’t write things because I am a master of them, but because I am sharing the lessons I have learned on my own. Life is a work in progress, nobody is perfect. 

But, getting things done, one thing at a time, today, now, is probably the number one skill to master. 

Don’t carry the past into your future, take care of yesterday’s undone tasks today, take care of todays tasks today, and tomorrow will take care of itself.
