The idea guy loses again

I was reading a blog about getting systems in place to organize my... whatever (life, business, brain, it's all so generalized and boring). Any way, the blog touched on getting a voice recorder so when something came into your mind you could simply get it out and get the river that is thought flow running again. I went out, bought a tape recorder, and let the torrent loose. To my demise, I realized something much worse than the roadblock that was my mind.

Idea guys love the roadblock because clarity brings prioritization and prioritization brings action. But I'm lazy!

Cleaning out the mess that is my mind is like finally having the perfect studio for a painter only to realize that they were more successful fighting the outside world than pulling from the inside world. I read so much crap about organization/productivity/goals/garbage that I realized I felt productive when I read about productivity. This is screwed up people.

So relating back a few days, screw productivity, I'm in search of passion. I'm going to follow what Seth said and his hierarchy of success. Productivity and organization fall somewhere between five and six and I have not cleared up #3 much less approached 1 and 2.

1. Attitude
2. Approach
3. Goals
4. Strategy
5. Tactics
6. Execution

So join me, we will beat the down the feeling of being disorganized by doing, by realizing why we are doing and how we are doing what WE have stated as our goals.
