The Value of Following Up

To get anything done, you have to follow-up with yourself or other people who are getting it done. 

Knowing what needs to be done (e.g. task lists) is a good start. But following up is the key to execution. It is the key to getting any job done.

Create tasks but revisit them end of each day. What is completed? What is pending? What will you do tomorrow to complete? Who can help you do it? What dependencies do you have?

This simple system of revisiting and following up with your own tasks persistently is a great way to keep yourself (and others) accountable.

That’s how we make progress. That’s how things get done.
