The 7 Pillars Of Getting Things Done

1. A plan
   Think about what you want to achieve. The bigger the goal the better. Example: "I want to make $10,000" That's 100 sales of $100 Or 10 sales of $1000 Or 1 sale of $1000 Now, break it down into tasks you can easily complete.

2. A deadline
   No deadline equals nothing gets done. Having no urgency means you'll get nothing done. By when do you want to achieve this goal?
   Put a deadline. "I want to make $10,000. THIS MONTH." Now your goal has a deadline. Go get it.

3. Self-discipline
   Without it, you're doomed. Make it your TOP priority to build in small habits into your daily routine that leads to your new goal. Self-discipline is developed slowly. Focus on getting 'some' things done, not on getting 'many' things done. Slow and steady.

4. Self-control
   Someday you'll feel that you want to quit or change goals. DONT! Keep moving forward. Ignore the shiny objects and focus on the task at hand. Your goal is important. And achieving important things requires effort on time.

5. Focusing
   Focus, just like self-discipline, needs to be developed slowly Start by focusing for 10 minutes a day on your new goal Then, make it 15min As time goes by, you'll notice that not even 60 minutes is enough because you're loving the process Start small. Scale later

6. Systems
   Document everything. This is how you start building your systems. A system is nothing more than the WAY you do things. A system is composed by:

• your habits
• your routines
• the software you use
• your workflows
  Document it. Make it more efficient.

7.Taking action
Nothing beats taking action. You know it. But there's nothing wrong with being reminded about it. If you want something, go take it. It's yours to take. But it can only be taking by relentless, focused actions.
