Millennials Need to Try Less and Do More

Interesting take on the work habits of Millennials over at the Life Before Noon blog. Author Carla Blumenthal praises her Millennial generation for being diverse, multitasking, tech-savvy individuals who love teamwork, are optimistic, and determined. But she's candid about the faults of her generation as well:

In class work, internship and job hunting we often wish for things to happen instead of actually trying. We think about doing something, talk about it with every possible adviser and then try. I spend more time making to-do lists, thinking and talking about the work I have to do than actually doing work. My friends and I often talk about the future, internships, job hunting, and applications more than we actually complete them.

The same applies to other aspects of our lives. We often talk about trying a new work out, calling an old friend, driving down a new road, taking a walk in the park. As Nike would say, just do it.
