There are essentially two kinds of people in the world,

doers and non-doers. Doers do and thus, get things done;

whereas non-doers never do much more than think about doing

and thus rarely, if ever, get anything done. Those who get

things done get what they want, while those who don’t, well,

quite simply, don’t. Here’s how to become an action person,

a doer who gets things done and gets what you want.

More often than not, though it may not always look so to the

casual observer, action people are highly organized. They

appear to move almost effortlessly from one task to the next

without missing a beat and, at day’s end, usually have more

energy than when they started because of the momentum they

built up over the course of the day.

Non-action people, on the other hand, are usually highly

disorganized. They spend their entire day stumbling around

from one thing to another, without purpose, and, as a

result, come day’s end, are totally exhausted and clueless

as to where their day went. Equating busyness with

accomplishment, they often think they’re getting things

done, when, in truth, they’re not, at least not anything of

significant importance.

The essential key to becoming an action person is

organization and the quickest and easiest way to get

yourself organized for action, whether it’s at home or work,

is to make yourself a short, simple, prioritized to-do list

on a daily basis for the following day. The operative key

words here being short, simple, and prioritized.

Keep it short by limiting yourself to just a couple of tasks

you’ll feel good about having accomplished. Keep it simple

by choosing tasks that can be done in a relatively brief

period of time. Prioritize it by asking yourself which of

the items on your list you’ll feel best about having

accomplished and making that the first item on your list.

Personally, as a general rule, I limit my daily to-do lists

to two (max!), "vision-critical" tasks, things that are

absolutely vital to getting what I want, and I prefer tasks

on my daily to-do lists to be things I can accomplish in

just a matter of minutes.

When your allotted time to take action comes, whether it be

home or work, start with the first item on your to-do list,

your highest priority task for the day, and stay on it, to

the exclusion of all else, until it’s done and done well.

After it is, cross it off your list and take a moment to

savor the feelings of accomplishment, power, and

satisfaction that come from doing so.

Then, if there is one, move on to the next item on your list

and do the same. If, after finishing it, you have more time

left, either give yourself some time off and go do something

you like as a reward, or add another high-priority task to

your list for the day.

I’ve often started the day with just one or two high-

priority, "vision critical" tasks on my daily to-do list,

yet accomplished twenty or thirty of them during my allotted

time with energy to spare, because of the built-up

momentum… and so will you!

Follow these simple instructions every day and you’ll soon

find yourself becoming an action person, a doer who gets

things done and gets what you want.
