G.S.D,!

“In life, you either have the results you want, or you have reasons to explain why you don't have them. If you have the results, you don't need the reasons.”

Yesterday I mentioned that it was high time for me to start getting things back on track . That plan started with me making a much dreaded to-do list.

So right after I hit the send button on my daily email, I pulled out my note pad,turned to a clean fresh page and began writing.

At the top of the page I wrote the words "TO-DO!"

Continuing on I added the day and date and then my first entry :

#1- Call the sign guy.

#2....and then I stopped.

Why am I making a freaking list.....just pick up the phone and call the freaking sign guy!

So I did.

Earlier is the week, my mentor Darren Hardy had spoken about just this type of situation.

He called it the G.S. D. plan.

Get S#!t Done!

He shared a story about a friend of his Mark sparks, a very very successful entrepreneur,a billionaire several times over, who handles everything at what Darren calls Sparks Speed.

Do it now and get it done!

To-do lists are for procrastinators.

If it's important enough to need doing, get it done and get moving on to the next task.

And that is precisely what I did yesterday.

I picked up the phone and called my sign guy.

"Joe....it's David....can I come over and get that sign put on my car?'

"Great see you in 15 minutes!"

Boom .........done!

Next!

I the spent the next 3 hours using the G.S. D. method.

One task after another was handled.....without making a list.

As stuff popped into my head, I handled it. After I was done with that task it was on to another. If something came up that needed my attention in that moment, I handled it...in that moment. If it was something that could wait, I simply just left it alone.

I know, you're probably asking what if I forget to go back and do that thing I put off.

Simple....what if?

No big deal.

Life will go on.

In the meantime , the important stuff, I mean the really important stuff, is getting handled.

If it isn't important enough for me to remember to handle it well then maybe it's just not all that important in the first place.

By day's end I had managed to take care of a number of items ,including one BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) that had been looming for weeks.

G.S.D.

I Got S#!t Done!

That's what I call a good day!

Shabbat Shalom!
