How To Stop The Mental Chatter And Actually DO Something

Friday, October 7, 2011

We often struggle with deciding what to do, as there’s so much of it to go. And then, when we do know what we have lined up for the day, we then struggle with our mental chatter, otherwise known as ‘procrastination’. In other words, we have to fight two battles – we have to take arms against the external forces of the world, then we have to take arms against our internal forces. While David Allen provided some very incredible and useful tips in Getting Things Done for organising our ‘stuff’ and deciding what to spend our days on, there was little in the way of organising and ‘defeating’ the mental chatter that goes on in our heads. How to actually do something - that’s the problem.

In this post I would like to focus on the Inbox.

Think about this. There are only 24 hours a day. A third of that is allocated for rest (sleeping time and other relaxing rituals). Another third is for work. The last portion of those 24 hours is for recreation and family or friends. Add an extra hour to your rest and you're oversleeping or slacking. Add an extra hour to recreation and you're too lax and lazy. Extended working hours might just be OK once in a while but doing that over and over up to a point that it becomes a habit can only mean two things: You're either workaholic or mismanaging your work.
