A few weeks ago I mentioned that I would pull together a little something that might help dearest readers get stuff done. It seemed like a fun project and one wants to swell with momentum at this time of year. But I kept putting it off. And my precious week off work was destined to resemble a bus-person’s holiday. Then tonight a little post-Christmas miracle occurred: I found the amazingly fabulous Do Village.

I am so excited to share ‘The Path of a Doer’ a pocket guide to helping you to achieve more, to help you understand the ebb and flow of making something happen:

‘Each of us is given the same number of hours every day, but some people make more things happen in the same time. Why is that? Well, they have learnt an important, and yet mostly untaught, life skill. They have learnt how to go from “talk” to “action.” They have discovered the secret of “Doing.” And yet, becoming a Doer is simple enough. It is a habit that we can all acquire’.

This makes complete project managementy sense to me! Some favorites:

• Set yourself a goal (you can’t score unless you have one)
• Set yourself a deadline (don’t make it too easy, a crazy deadline can help)
• A little can do a lot (especially, if repeated, if repeated, if…)
• Tell the world what you’re doing
• Tell the world why you are doing it (even if they don’t get it, tell them anyway)
• And tell them your crazy deadline (let them feel your urgency)

There is a preview .pdf available for download. And you can get yourself a copy here. Take some time to browse the website – there are some fantastic brain-foody resources available.

Enjoy!
