> It's not that systems for getting things done are **bad**, exactly. (Rules for meaningful productivity do have a role to play, and we'll turn to some of them later.) It's just that they're not the main point. The main point -- thought it took me years to realize it -- is to develop the willingess to just do something, here and now, as a one-off, regardless of whether it's part of any system or habit or routine. If you don't prioritize the skill of just doing something, you risk falling into an exceedingly sneaky trap, which is that you end up embarking instead on the unnecessary and, worse, counterproductive project of **becoming the kind of person who does that sort of thing**.
