There's A Difference Between Doing Things and Getting Things Done

 There's a pretty simple and straightforward meaning to this statement. Basically doing something and getting something done is not the same thing. People are doing things all the time. You can be on YouTube watching videos, you can be playing Call of Duty or any other game online, or you can even be browsing funny pictures from 9gag or lolsnaps. This is fine to do in moderation. People can, should, and will always do things for entertainment. Just don't over do it.

On the other hand, you can be working on a homework or job assignment, cleaning the room, washing the car, or taking out the trash. You can be practicing your guitar skills, piano, singing, or dancing. You can be working on a long term project even. The difference is clear. There is more to be gained from engaging in productive activities. Productivity occurs when things are getting done instead of when you are just doing something.
