Robert Ringer is the best selling author of a whole bunch of books on making money and personal productivity. Although I don’t agree with everything he says he has got a lot of great practical advice for personal productivity.
One of his best ideas about getting things done is a concept he calls the three gets which I’ll explain in a second.
One of the things that slows down productivity hugely is perfectionism which he calls Dilly Dallying (he’s a quaint old dude).
The other is allowing distractions to take place that stop you from giving 100% focus on the task at hand.
To avoid these problems he gives the 3 gets as the solution to all your productivity problems when you get into the office and the three gets are this…
- Get in.
- Get it done.
- Get out.
Sounds simple… but how many extra hours do you spend at the office fluffing around. Thats what happens when you allow unimportant things to distract you. One of the most important things about the three gets is “Get Out”.
This is what keeps you fresh. Nothing causes a drop in productivity more than staleness.
It’s better to come into the office firing on all six cylinders and getting it done in 5 hours than firing on 4 cylinders and taking 9 hours.
Thats why I’m using the Robert Ringer advice for posting from now on.
