Getting Things DoneWhen should I start my business? When will I have all the information I need to begin? Answer? Never. You have to start with what you have.

Getting Things Done: How To Find A Second Reason To Do Anything Important

Rajesh Setty gets it. To find a second reason to do anything important:

1. Remove the legs (reasons) for NOT pursuing your dreams. The more legs (reasons) you remove, easier it is to break the resistance (topple the table) to pursue the dream.

2. Start finding legs (reasons) for pursuing your passion. The more legs (reasons) you find, the stronger the conviction (table) to pursue the dream.
Taking up his point, my religious teacher once said to us, ‘it’s not the hand you’ve been dealt that matters, but how you play your hand.’

It’s your attitude towards setbacks, circumstances, friction and conflicts that matters. Approach these in the right way and you can see how to overcome these obstacles and get closer to your true goals.

    Exactly, you can’t do a project but you can break it down into little chunks and take each piece one at a time.

    The weakness in Getting Things Done is that it’s focused on making checklists and not actually doing things. It shuld be called Getting Ready To Get Things Done.

    Getting Things Done is focused on making checklists and not actually doing things. Should be called Getting Ready To Get Things Done. I hear what you're saying.
    I guess the value of GTD is that it helps people get into a mindset of doing things with more intention.
    How do you do that?
