Teach Me Tuesdays: How To Get Stuff Done!

Okay, this post may not be all encompassing, but please take it as a strategy if you will or encouragement or maybe, enlightenment on how to actually get stuff done. Do me a favor, right now, first, think about what is it you need to get done, one thing, the biggest thing on your list, and then write it down for me. For ease of something to write a post on, I will share one of the things on my to do list was, clean my hair brush. Did you write yours down? Don't read any further until you have written it down.

When you have finished writing down what you want to get done, I want you to go do it, NOW. If it is something that has to be planned, plan it NOW, make that appointment, call the doctor/dentist/optometrist/landscaper/painter/etc. Whatever it is, do it NOW. Don't read any further until you have done it.

If you are having trouble because it is going to take a long long time to do, then at least make the first step. And if that is too difficult, call someone who will go do it with you, and schedule it, and do it. Calendars and mobile reminders are great because they are a type of accountability partner, but the best type is an actual human being that cares for your best interest and wants you to succeed. Because they can remind you if you forget, and then if you forget multiple times, they can get on to you like your mother no longer does, and then still if it does not get done, they might actually make you do it!

That is what I like so much about Churches. I share my life with my closest friends at Church and I share my shortcomings and they continually ask, how I am doing, and if I need prayer. So if you need someone in your life like that, get involved in a Church and hopefully along the way you can do the same for another. Like family. Even your family will hopefully do the same for you. Have you at least done one of the above? If not, do it NOW! Getting tired of me saying that? :)

Well, hopefully you have made some progress. I have left my hair brush there for a month now. It is a simple task, so why have I put it off? Probably because I know it is just going to get hair in it again so I put it off. But I want/need to do it because I put some weird product in my hair and brushed it while that product was in my hair and now it is stuck on the hair in the hairbrush. So, that is what I am doing right now, cleaning my hair brush. Making it a priority, setting a goal and accomplishing it! Guess what, I did it! I hope you get stuff done! Blessings!

Remember:
1. Write it down. (Realize what needs to happen.)
2. Take action. (Make it a priority.)
3. Don't be discouraged. (Be realistic, maybe just the first step will do.)
4. Don't be afraid to ask for help. (Accountability is a beautiful thing.)

I think next Teach Me Tuesday I will try to discuss something more close to my heart, reading the Bible daily.
