It is a mis­take to put off for tomor­row what can get done — or at least get started — today. We’ve all heard this say­ing before, but it still holds true. This logic applies to the myr­iad of daily tasks, large and small, that need to be accom­plished to real­ize our goals.

We all need more inten­tional urgency. Com­pla­cency and inde­ci­sion are killers for any orga­ni­za­tion. We need to deter­mine what needs to be done, and by when. Then we need to get busy accom­plish­ing each task.

Never con­fuse activ­ity for accom­plish­ment. Stay on track, and focused on the actions you’ve com­mit­ted to. Hold oth­ers account­able to get things done on time. Urgency matters!
