Busy people get more done. Having multiple priorities creates a state of flow.
Hesitation is a preventative form of worry. The chronic overthinker pays the toll of inertia and then frets about the lack of time to get things done.
The most productive days are those in which we go immediately into action, en medias res, with a to-do list baked in our head.
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
Bruce Lee
Of course, busyness is not a badge to wear either.
If we’re going to chase something, it better be something we enjoy. Passion helps empower the grit and absolve the grind.
Doing meaningful work centers us. But for that, we must also take responsibility and choose to do the work every day.
The doing starts before we’re ready. After all, the doing is why there’s knowing.
