Don’t Dabble, Decide

Zig Ziglar said, “If you are in it, get in it. If you are not, get out.” Those words cut right through the fog of hesitation. Dabbling drains energy. It creates the illusion of progress while leaving me stuck in the same place.
I’ve noticed this in my own life. I’ll say I want to do something, like writing the rest of the year-end plan. If I approach it with a hit-and-miss attitude, nothing happens. The time I spend “thinking about it” feels wasted, and my energy is scattered. The truth is simple: indecision costs more than failure.
Darren Hardy offers a powerful solution for accomplishing tasks. Set aside blocks of time with no distractions. Not partial time, not multitasking time, but focused, sacred time. No phones. No people. No interruptions. I need to protect that space like my life depends on it, because in many ways, my success does.
I’ve found that just one uninterrupted hour a day produces more momentum than a week of dabbling. In that one hour, my mind sharpens, my ideas flow, and I actually finish things. The results are tangible and motivating, and the sense of accomplishment fuels even more progress.
Here’s the question: where in your life are you dabbling? A relationship? A project? A dream you keep talking about? Dabbling is a slow leak; commitment is a floodgate.
I need to step fully in or step out and free my energy. Halfway in is no way forward. One focused hour on a single project every day can transform my year, and perhaps my life.
Watch for the blind spots.
