[ To-Don’t Lists ]

Everyone has had a ‘to do’ list.  There are many forms of to do lists out there.  To do lists appear on paper, on an electronic notebook, on calendars or diaries, in a database, in spreadsheets. I think I’ve tried them all at some point through my life. 

Another tactic for productivity and time management is establishing, every now and then, a “to don’t” list.  These are activities or tasks that you’ve consciously and purposefully said ‘no’ to.  For a time, anyway. 

Currently, for the month of June, on my ‘to don’t’ list is scrolling social media on my smartphone.
