Nancy Nemitz
Either you get things done, so you are a doer, or have dozens of excuses why you can’t get things accomplished, so you are a dodger.
Webster’s Dictionary defines a doer as “a person who doesn’t confine himself to thought or talk, but takes effective action habitually.”
I scanned a few words above doer, in the dictionary, and found dodo and dodger. While I would never call my clients dodos, I may point out they are dodgers. Dodgers constantly are on the move, with no clear line of progress. I have no idea why a baseball team would want to be called the Dodgers.
How can you go from being a dodger to a doer? First, understand why you keep dodging your work. Perhaps you don’t know how to get it done. Maybe the work is too overwhelming for one person. There can be a lot of anxiety with some tasks. However, from 11 years of experience helping people get work done, I know you will feel better about yourself when you can cross tasks off your list. Get going.
