The other day, while doing some research on the Internet, I stumbled across the best and most concise description ever of what it means to be productive. But what’s particularly terrific about this little ditty is that it’s kind to those of us trying to do our best. It allows for the fact that we’re human. We can’t be perfect every day. We make mistakes. But nonetheless, we continue striving. In other words, it’s a Zen approach to productivity. I’m passing it along now:
Now is better than later.
Later is better than never.
Organized is better than messy.
Big things are composed by smaller things.
Smaller things are done by action.
Think like a person of action.
Act like a person of thought.
The beginning is half of every action.
The longest journey starts with the first step.
Everything should be made as simple as possible.
But not simpler.
Celebrate any progress.
Don’t wait to get perfect.
Deadlines and stress are a part of life.
Thanks so much to todoist for posting this great advice.
