The Little Handbook for Getting Stuff Done : zen habits

There’s a ton to be gained by getting good at Getting Stuff Done (GSD).

While I don’t think that productivity and efficiency is the answer to life, nor should it be your only focus … there are still a ton of benefits from Getting Stuff Done. A ton.

Some of the benefits:

• You start accomplishing more
• You begin to believe in yourself more
• You waste less time procrastinating and distracting yourself
• You become more trustable — when you tell people you’re going to get stuff done, they believe you
• You become more hirable, as people love to hire someone who gets stuff done
• You are less held back by this dimension of your life, which will allow you to go deeper in other areas — understanding what’s important, being curious, playing, learning, making deep connections with people, retraining old mental patterns that are getting in the way, and more
• You start earning more
• You might be able to found a successful startup or create a great organization
• You might be able to spread your ideas further, as you prove yourself worthy of listening to (because you’ve accomplished something) and as you get the things done that need to be done to spread ideas, like writing a book or blog or giving a talk
