We know of To-Do lists and use them well. They keep us focused on things we need to do. They help us track progress towards goal achievement.
Here’s Not-To-Do lists from author Tim Ferriss. A list of things we should not be doing. I am sure most of us will find many points in Tim’s list applicable to us.
I like the concept and have a few more Not-To-Do’s to add:
- Do not waste time looking for things. Stay organised.
- Do not take on more than you can handle
- Do not spend too much time and effort on low yield stuff
Add your own points but do not let the Do Not list overwhelm you.
