We’re all familiar with to-do lists. But have you ever created a NOT-to-do list?
This is something I did recently.
My NOT-to-do list is a list of things I do but no longer WANT to do.
These are things that no longer serve me and do more harm than good.
But while I recognize that these things aren’t good, I haven’t made a conscious decision to stop.
Writing down this NOT-to-do list was cathartic. It also helped me identify other things to add to my list.
My NOT to-do List
For example, my NOT to-do list includes:
- Not working on weekends
- Not accepting less-than-great clients just to hit revenue goals
- Not comparing myself to others, especially my peers
- Not setting goals based on what others are doing
- Not believing that my biggest value is my time
- Not putting myself last
- Not feeling guilty when I don’t respond quickly to emails.
This list has given me clarity about what I need to work on.
What’s on Your NOT-to-do list?
I invite you to create your own not to-do list.
It may help you identify good things you want to keep doing. And identify things you need to stop because they’re not serving you.
