Getting Things Done

STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, START DOING
In my entire life, I’ve always hatched ideas of things I want to do. Everything from small things to grand projects. But most of them has never moved past the idea stage. I would say that I’m not the slightest unique in this. It is easy to come up with an idea, but it is hard to realize it. Especially if I don’t know how. For every entrepreneur out there, this is a weird statement. This is in their blood. They get an idea and just run with it. But for the rest of us, we need to learn what to do. So, what was I missing? It all started…

ROUTINES REDUCE FRICTION AND GETS THINGS DONE
It is always a good idea to remove as much friction as possible. And with friction I mean the resistance to get things done, to start and to keep doing it. There are many ways to do that, and one of them is to have routines. But what does that have to do with Scrum? Routines are learned behaviour. An order of operations that you don’t have to invent every time. You just know what to do next. This speeds up things, and it consumes less energy.

BEING A GENERALIST IS AN EXPERTISE IN ITSELF
Jack of all tradesMaster of noneThough often better than a master of one This is how life experience works. You gather experiences from every situation you find yourself in. Each place has a new problem to solve and that will give you a new skill that you can use in the future. So when a similar problem appears, then you are capable to handle it. And further more, the more skills you possess, the more solutions to the problem can you find. You can find the right solution instead of the only solution.

JUST DO IT!
Do you ever find yourself not doing things that you should? If you say no, I don’t believe you 🙂 Everybody does it. It’s even got its own word. Procrastination. The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as:“To keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring.” There are many reasons for why we procrastinate. I will talk about two common ones, and I will also try to show you a way around them that actually might work. THE FIRST ONE is a misconception we have of how mankind works. We often sit down and wait for inspiration to come, and then, then we will make miracles,…
