Not-to-do lists


Lists, lists, lists I love them. I have shopping lists, weekly menu list, 2009 goals list, action items list, to-do list, birthday list, presents list, cleaning my house list and it goes on. The problem with all the lists is knowing what to do first so the idea when presented to me of a “not-to-do" list sounded sensational.


Author Michael LeBoeuf recommended the following for the not-to-do list:

  • All low-priority items, unless you have successfully completed all your high-priority items.

  • Anything you could reasonably delegate to someone else.

  • Demands on your time from others that are either thoughtless or inappropriate.

  • Any errand that, if ignored, will have minimal consequences.

  • Anything you might have done for someone else that the person should be doing for himself or herself.

Wow – what a great idea. Think of the time you will save by not doing things. It will allow you to focus on getting the priority items done.
