Chapter 12 Post

In this chapter Allen again emphasizes the importance of next action, and how he wishes that everyone takes that step or to make someone responsible it. This step is very important, and it is the one that I get stuck in more. Like Allen says "it is so simple, yet so powerful." Simple it is, I cannot deny that. Ever since I read about the next action list, I have used it for the simple things like making a call, do laundry etc. However, he stresses that we have to take responsibility, and account responsibility to others in order to get things done and be productive. Like I mention in class, I am very honest, and I do not have problems stating my point, but I hate working in groups because people do not take accountability; however, like Allen states if we began assigning it things would run oh so smoothly.

Another thing that he states is leaving things last minute for them to blow up. I had a lot of "projects" blow up on my face, and let me tell you about it. It was not pretty. Why did I wait? Procrastination and I like to feel pressured; however, I do not want huge projects like an essay blow up. I want good grades! Next action it's vital.
