Getting It Done

“Inch by inch it’s a cinch. Yard by yard, it’s hard.” You’ve probably heard the old adage and I’d have to agree with it today. I’ve been making small, incremental steps towards a goal. One step of many along this arduous path, yet I’m not satisfied. It’s taking way too long in my impatient opinion.

Some days the progress is meager. Most days I don’t feel as if I’ve made any progress, but I have to do what my math teachers told me throughout school. I have to show my work. I have to look at what I actually did and not what I think I did.

When I’m making progress, I get to see my work. I get to see the results of my efforts. I get to open up the computer, check my progress, and evaluate what I’ve done. Those documents are more than a feeling. They are a result of putting in the work and getting it done. No person escapes doing the work. We all must lest we not bear the fruits of our labor.

Getting it done is part of the process. “You reap what you sow” and if you haven’t learn how to reap your harvest, ask your mentor for guidance. If you don’t have a mentor, find one.

Today, Monday, March 13, 2023, I am grateful that:

The weekend was relaxing. I got the chance to do some research, but mostly stayed inside, enjoyed solitude, and relaxed. That’ll be the case for the foreseeable future. No excursions, no getaways, no unnecessary spending. I’ll remain focused and put in the work. It requires relaxation on the weekend and I’m happy to get the rest.

I got a chance to speak with Grady a little earlier. It’s cool to help with some insights and offer some guidance on his current project. I sent him credentials for a subscription I’d purchased years ago. My previous purchase will help in his current endeavors. It’s cool to be able to render service.

I’ve got a few hours logged in today. It’s great to have sprung forward. I like getting an early start and the time change affords me that chance. I’ll get a couple more hours in and it’ll help with making my goals for the week.

Are you getting it done?

What are you waiting for?

Make a plan and get into action.

By the way, the plan doesn’t matter as much as taking action. Your plan will likely change several times. That’s been true for me and more than one person I know.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
