Lots of other people preach about completing. Leo Babauta has four principles to get to completion. Steven Pressfield says do the work. Seth Godin calls it shipping. Craig Jarrow says intent doesn’t win, finishing wins. [...]

Craig,

Thanks.

The photo on the article attracted my attention because I have two letter blocks on my desk: “DO”. I coined the phrase, “Do is half of done.” To your point, we must keep doing until it is finished.

Dr. Robert Anthony says, “There are only two things in life, reasons and results. Reasons don’t count.”

I also believe multi-tasking is a waste of time. The brain can only do one thing at a time well. “Beware of shiny objects.”

In a recent blog post, I only had 4 time management rules. http://www.peterdisantis.com/index.php/blog/94-four-time-management-rules

Thanks,

Avoid Interruptions/Eliminate Distractions: Absolutely the two best things you can do, and they are related. Turn off Instant Messaging, Email, and Browser when you’re at your computer. When working on something manually (writing, drawing, creating, brainstorming), turn off your computer. You’d be surprised how much ADD is really external forces. If you’re have an office, shut the door and phone.

Sometimes distractions cannot be helped – but you have to learn to tune things out to focus. Multi-tasking is useful only in certain instances, but not good for any meaningful work.
