I wake up in the morning, and decide what One Thing I’m excited about.Here’s what I do, and highly recommend to anyone willing to break free of the to-do list:
So what’s a better system? The One Thing System The only thing that matters is the actual doing.
This is all useless spending of mental energy, because none of it gets you anywhere. While it feels good to check items off the list, it feels horrible having items that never get checked off. For those who keep up with the lists, they spend a lot of time on the lists they could be spending … doing something important.Īnd what of these lists? They’re long, you never get to the end of them, and half the time the tasks on the list never get done. Those who have to-do lists usually manage them constantly, or if they don’t they fall into disuse and get dusty and become worthless, while the person who’s fallen behind in maintaining the list feels constantly guilty. It sucks up your time, and drains your motivation. I’m here to suggest: kill your to-do list. Those who don’t have a to-do list probably feel they should, because they’re swamped and feeling overwhelmed. Most people reading this will have a to-do program, or a paper list or text file, listing not only projects and tasks but separate lists for home and work and possibly half a dozen different contexts.
