Want to get more done? Prepare practically. A secret to get you started…

We love this preparation phase.

• Here’s what I’m going to do
• Organize it in my latest software
• Classify my actions, by date, importance, tags…

A necessary step, but let’s not fall into the trap of endless analysis and procrastination

And sometimes, it even makes things more complicated. We’re so far from the goal, the mountain seems insurmountable.

Want to get more done? Prepare practically.

One option: prepare the next action practically.

My big picture for staying in shape.

“I want to enjoy every day, every moment, in the best possible shape and for as long as possible.”

I try to develop habits that support this.

For example:

Drink a squeezed lemon in the morning before anything else

I did it for years, stopped several months ago, and can’t get back into it.
I talk about it in this article. How do you start doing the things you want to do?

A small thing that helped me restart. Prepare the night before.

I never miss a run that is practically prepared.

This concept has no limits in its application.

• Learning a foreign language
  • Prepare the first exercise you will do the night before
• Learn to play chess
  • You love to play, but find it hard to study the game. Prepare the learning video you want to watch the night before
• Analyzing an important folder
  • It’s boring, but it’s crucial for my project.
  • Prepare my Excel file the day before and leave it open on my computer
• Read more
  • Put my book prominently on the breakfast table.
    A concept developed in James Clear ‘s book. I share an experience here.
    Atomic Habits by James Clear: how to put the message into practice in your everyday life?

Conclusion

“The shortest answer is doing the thing.” – Ernest Hemingway

Doing is the most important thing.

But also the hardest.

Preparing practically the night before can only help.

What habit could you try this approach on?
