Getting Back on Track | Just Do The Thing
Go!
The ‘just’ in Just Do The Thing also means not doing other things. Why? Because you can’t give your all to something and still have your all leftover to give to something else. You can only give the remainder of what’s left. Even if you’re young and energetic, or are into caffeine or other stimulants, the clock is ticking…
This guide is not about making the best of what’s left of you or your resources. The Thing that you’re doing, it is Something Important! It deserves better than just top billing, it deserves your full attention and intention.
If not, then admit it to your Thing and stop teasing it. Go find a book that tells you what you want to hear. This one just tells you how it really is.
You have a Thing that will either get to Done, or not.
Your Thing gets done when you do it, and it doesn’t get done when you don’t. Any time you spend doing something that’s not your Thing, is time you took away from your your Thing. Like a lover, your Thing is likely to get jealous and may treat you badly. If you have a real-life lover, they may do the same in return. Negotiate as best you can for a healthy and sustainable life, then ask yourself:
Are you doing your Thing, or aren’t you?
Your Thing will not be consoled, and it will not be fooled.
Just Do The Thing.
