As I grabbed my computer this morning to “just check everything,” I had a revelation: what if EVERY time I picked up my laptop or sat down at my desk, I consciously tried to make something happen? Rather than just “check in” with what’s gone on since I last left the interwebz (inevitably not long enough ago that anything dire or severe has changed), what if I made a distinct effort to actually get something done?
Since this is a business blog, how can you apply this to your business? Honestly, there has to be something that you can do each and every time you sit down at your desk, walk into your office, or start up your computer–something that gets you one step closer to finishing that massive project, or something that gets you closer to landing that major client.
This something could be infinitesimally small–a response to an email–or larger. These “somethings” could be enough to snowball into finally finishing a huge project, or enough to just keep you going until it is done.
Either way, by admitting that you won’t sit down to just check the things you know haven’t really changed (analytics, revenue streams, even emails) unless you get some real work done, you’ll be able to recognize those times when you just want to jump on the computer to waste time and those times when you’re really engaged enough to get something done.
I hereby require that I get something done whenever I get online–and you should, too…
