stop drafting big outcomes - be good (best) in what I start with

I think, I’m over this. Already, I project my wishes to the closest possible realization only. So I achieve thing by thing. Nevertheless, I have thoughts on how the thing(s) I just initiated would be really great. Though I now avoid to direct my efforts to that big outcome goal but rather look out for what’s more close to me and likely to be achievable with much less efforts, and first.

Still, I want to optimize this bit – having ideas and thinking of how these imagined things could be great (“awesome”) – a bit.

Just these days, Jan/Feb 2009, I experienced//achieved a glimpse of – well, of actively skipping all the chances for improvement, doing better etc. I was focused on to get that specific thing done – and got it done.

Doing things imperfectly (though noting what I skip, and where chances for improvement are) might be the key to get things finished.
 

Again, [in this] here’s what a geek is: finish things off, present them. While the nerd aims at perfectionism, rarely gets things done, and usually shifts from one project to the next without totally finishing things off. (That is just my view on geeks/nerds; neither any offense intended nor intended as a definition for everyone. – Just a lighthouse for me.)
 

While I was at “the thing”, my primary aim was to get rid of it as soon as possible, since it was an obstacle for what I originally was after. Under that condition, I forced to get done with the subject and to leave alone possible optimizations.
 

Is it, trying to get something done on my own, instead of together with others, that in the end kills to get a superb outcome?

I realize (finally, sustainingly?), it might be better to keep the sparrow instead of the dove once the sparrow is in my hand – instead of letting it fly to chase for the dove.

I got offered a dove and took it. I ignored the sparrow. Though learned by net news that things which are too good to be real probably aren’t, I failed to realize that, took the dove and let the sparrow fly. Then they took the dove away – I got a job, but not for long. What dumb I were!

addendum: Maybe drafting big outcomes, regarding chance possible to take/better not to miss – might be simply a (sophisticated?) form of procrastination?

I just read from that guy who preferred to get a book on … – and neither didn’t mark the goal of getting a job as done.

Going through the oldes entries of ‘get a job’, I notice that something well-known to me apparently happens/happened to others too: Who’s trying to avoid to miss chances, apparently gets none of them at all. The guy who said a job paid too little and therefore he didn’t take it neither set that goal – get a job – to Worth Doing nor to Not Worth Doing It, so probably he’s still looking, i.e. working on finishing the goal.

Not only therefore, but yet in general, the better approach is to focus on to get things done by getting an initial part of them done, by getting the [big ol’ stone] wheel rolling, into motion. That’s the way I think will do to get things done, to achieve just anything.
 

So, instead of watching what’s going on left and right and far ahead, I think it’s better to concentrate at what to do and at what obstacle’s ass to kick, to get thinks running, into motion, done.

So, that’s a point against aiming at big outcomes.
 

I’m trying hard to believe: Once you’re good or at least really hard trying, ‘angels’ will pop into reality – people who’ve been always there but you never notice – and may things happen for you, open doors for you, communicatively ‘wire’ you to people relevant to you, might recommend you to others.

I doubt this goal is a very good one: Drafting the big outcomes allows me to imagine the fun I might have if I’d enter the field I just span by doing the draft.

I see, I’ve got a topic… I see peoples making money by blogging… Now, I’ve found a subject to blog on – chance to join those people who make money by blogging.

I jump in, give my best in developing an own claim, but somewhere on the way, I loose interest, let orphan the project.

That happens, happened over and over again. I see: great, now I can have fun in doing X… but, let me think…, if I’d tweak it here a little and there – then I could come to the point I gain the funding to make my big dream come real.

That moment – without me to realize that – that what was supposed to become, be fun turns into a duty. A while later – without me to realize that –, I’ll flip over, become getting bored by the thing, start looking for a new challenge.

That happens over and over again – one unfinished project after the other. Makes me feel guilty, some way.
 

To stop aiming at the big gain, implies to not gain it – at least not by extrapolating the fun – which, in the end, makes the fun a duty, poor duty, job, work, task, duty.

But getting the most imaginable fun out of a fun project might be a regard much more valuable. Plus, giving everything, preparing it perfectly, doing it best, in the end might convince people of my performance—- err, the goal’s to stop extrapolating. Therefore stop it now. But, what I meant is: Doing it best probably gains more followers (^Twitter) .. friends, convinces more people, get me more fun out of it – immediately as well as by coming together with new people.

Maybe, to not to draft things into a big future makes real to reach that big future by no way – and to stop doing such drafts would be to accept that –, but it might help to do that what I love, what I wish with full devotion – So, effectively, paradoxically I’d get the most out of it. Chance implied, I’d get some fortune out of it because one person or the other might love it too, it – what I do with full passion, full commitment. But, that another one person would love it too, is no reward for me, nothing I’d strive for (other than big times, big money I might strive for), but instead, stopping to draft things into future, into big times, and instead doing them full passionately would give me the most out of them, immediately.

Which might be the better reward.
