Burn Your To-Do Lists
A better way to achieve your goals
To-do lists might work for you, but they don’t work for me. They actually don’t work for many people. Adding items to a list doesn’t set you up for success.
Those lists just grow larger and larger every day. I have a few massive running ones in Evernote with items that date back over 12 years!
I often forget to review the list since it’s not in my face. Then, when I do, I get overwhelmed and stressed about how much there is to do.
So, now I take a fresh approach by using the power of my calendar. Instead of trying to squeeze more hours into the day, I repurpose time that I have already proven I can consistently commit to something else.
I also know I need accountability. We all do.
Therefore, I leverage my existing community to help me stay accountable to the process. My private community of ambitious people helps push me because we have been encouraging each other to achieve our goals every month for several years now.
I encourage you to experiment with this same strategy. Burn your stressful to-do lists and focus on the three things below, which will help you achieve your goals better than any list app or productivity hack.
