5 Habits Of People Who Get Things Done
Do you know a friend who is always on top of things?
The one you think about when someone asks "who's got their act together?"
Well, becoming that person might be easier than we all thought. All you need to do is adopt some of their habits so that you too can get into the habit of getting things done.
HABIT #1 - They Don?t Procrastinate
You can't afford to wait until tomorrow because the deadline is today!
When you're given a task, start working on it right away. Your best work will come in when there's no time left- so don?t waste any of your precious minutes waiting around. When you know that there is no way for your work not to be done, then it becomes much easier. You can start on any task right away without waiting until the last minute and anything turned in late will never turn out well anyways so why wait?
HABIT #2 - They Are Proactive
The difference between a successful person and someone who is not often comes down to how they handle things when it doesn't go according to plan. Successful individuals don?t waste any time or energy on problems that have been anticipated - instead, these people take steps ahead so nothing can get out of hand!
This means being proactive about solving issues before they arise rather than waiting until after the fact when there may be no solution at all due to lack of resources etc. It also includes thinking through various solutions should something unexpected pops up. This will help you find ways around most obstacles with ease & efficiency.
HABIT # 3 - They Are Aware Of Their Time
The truth is, people who can get things done are extremely aware of their time constraints. And this doesn?t just mean on a project - it also means in general with all aspects of life - both personal and professional. They will never promise something if they know that delivery might take longer than expected; there's no point putting forth hard work only for someone else' s deadline! This type of personality has always got an eye toward how much effort certain tasks may require, which helps keep things running smoothly.
People who are good with deadlines have an intuitive understanding of their limitations because every task has a set amount required - no matter whether big or small! This means they won't promise something unless they're sure there's enough time to complete the task. It is better to plan for more time to complete the task than to fail to deliver as promised, so adjust your expectations before making a promise you can?t keep due to enthusiasm about a task.
HABIT # 4 - They Read
It is no surprise that people who can get things done spend lots of time reading. Reading provides new information which helps with future tasks, and increases cognitive abilities when making decisions in the present day or age!
If you want to get things done, reading is essential. The more time we spend reading the better our cognitive abilities become and this will make future tasks easier for us!
HABIT # 5 - They Have Courage
Everyone has things they are afraid of, but what sets your friends who get things done apart is that even though they may be scared at first glance; once the task gets rolling there?s no stopping them.
You?re not alone, and you don't need to feel bad about it. Almost everyone has at least one thing they are scared of doing, but the difference between people who get things done - even though their hearts might be telling them otherwise ? is that once someone faces his/her fear head-on instead of running away from it, they find courage in knowing they can do whatever needs completing.
The key to being a "getter" is not about what you do, but how. The right habits will help turn your life into an accumulation machine for success!
So, stop procrastinating, be proactive and aware of your time, and start reading. Before you know it, you?ll develop a new sense of courage and be well on your way to becoming the person in your friend group who always gets tasks done.
