Just Do The Thing - Chris Williamson on The Things That Are Not Doing The Thing
There’s this video on ‘Doing the Thing’ that I like so much so I’m gonna share it with you. Chris Williamson shares a perspective on productivity and procrastination.
The video captures a list of things that are not doing the thing:
- Preparing to do the thing.
- Scheduling time to do the thing.
- Making a to-do list for the thing.
- Telling people you’re going to do the thing.
- Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing.
- Writing a banger tweet about how you’re going to do the thing.
- Hating on yourself for not doing the thing.
- Hating on other people who have done the thing.
- Hating on the obstacles in the way of you doing the thing.
- Fantasizing about all of the adoration you’ll receive once you do the thing.
- Reading about how to do the thing.
- Reading about how other people did the thing.
- Reading this post.
“The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.”
