Absorbing vs. Action; Accomplish & Execute


Productivity

Updated May 26th, 2021

Accomplish: Achieve or complete successfully

Execute: Carry out or put into effect

Being productive is an action – Do.

I absorb a lot of educational information but acting on that information gained is the real key.

Find the balance between learning more and growing and acting. It is likely 80 action and 20 learning new for 100 percent growth.

The other idea is when you are learning and growing is it new information or the reviewing of old information. Reviewing and revisiting and truly understanding a few concepts may be better than constantly absorbing new info but retaining very little. I use Anki as a note card app to help with retention.

I have started and moved on from many things. None were very financially rewarding but all were very time consuming. I wonder how things would’ve been differently if I saw them through.
