Are you just doing or accomplishing?

The difference is focus.

It seems when we are unfocused, we are just doing.

Focus follows purpose.

It seems if we have a purpose, we can more easily marshal the resources necessary to focus and accomplish something. If we’re just doing, we manufacture defective “O” rings.

I believe there is value to set aside time for idle doing. Play solitaire on the computer, surf the net for amusement or rinse the good china just for fun.

The confusion for most is they confuse activity with accomplishment. They are birds with different feathers.

Most people labeled as “Lazy” are just unfocused. Reminds me of a story . . .

Years ago a fellow that worked for me was making preventable mistakes during his broadcast. I called his attention to them. He said, “My doctor says I suffer from ADD.” (Attention Deficit Disorder). I then asked if he had any trouble making love with his girlfriend. He said, “No, things are great in that department.” I then let him know that ADD isn’t selective and that he needed to bring the same focus he used in the bedroom to his broadcast. His focus quickly returned.

I am a big proponent of the notion that structure fosters creativity. Back to broadcasting . . .

If you allow a broadcaster carte blanche with the amount of time they can talk, they will fill it up with tripe. If you give them timed windows of opportunity, the talk becomes more purposeful and focused.

This leads me to the number one structural aid for the idle doer – a list.

Become like Santa. Make a list and check it twice.

Two things will happen:

1. You’ll have a purpose.
2. Idle doing becomes a planned activity.

If you are noticing a lack of accomplishment in your life, take a close look at what you’re doing. My suspicion is that you become a scatterbrain when you lack structure.

Suggestion: Make a list!

All the best,
