Getting things done 1



One of the character traits I need to work on most is the trait to get things done. I know that I have a particular weakness in terms of meeting deadline and getting things done.  I may write a wonderful piece of work, but if it cannot be used on time, what is the purpose of producing it?

What makes myself late in all things? First factor is a lack of concentration. I have been always busy with lots of things and had no time to reflect and check my priorities.  This has had a serious impact in terms of achievement. I unconsciously decided to avoid the reality and sought a place to hide. It is not something I should be doing. Besides I was spending too much time for unnecessary things and unproductive thoughts. If I keep on living without in touch with reality, I will have to wind up in a place I do not want to be. I will be eternally regretting for what I did. 

Setting the priorities and living accordingly should be my primary tasks. I will have to allot 30minutes before going to bed to reflect what I did during the day and what I will do next day. Without going through what I did and without planning for what I will do, it is impossible to move forward.  “Whatever you are able to do, do while you still have a power.” Torah says that in our lifetime we should exercise our free choice because there is no room for choice and action in the world to come.

I am alive still and I will have to straighten myself more, particularly in getting things done.
