The post is apt in getting things 'done'. I prefer to get things done. Of course I can't always just do what I consider important, so I balance them, I meet the requirements of 'done' without much more, and I spend more time than most getting important stuff done, sometimes things that take a longer time--I'll do the gardening so that it eventually gets done.
People won't notice this extra effort for a long time, but from time to time, some problem/issue will arise and one of those things in my garden will be instrumental in solving or mitigating it. Over time, you get recognized as someone who gets things done well.
Basically get stuff 'done' in 80% of your time and make your own 20% time. What's funny is that I've often been given explicit 20% time, but I've found that I can't schedule/manage that time explicitly like that, so I went back to taking approximately 20% time if/when I thought it's appropriate.
