And what I would give to have play on my list too!
Glad you liked my daughter’s to do list!

Thanks for the response! Two things for you:

First, check out my previous post about saying no to people more often. It might help

Second, check out this Lifehacker post from yesterday that ties in perfectly to your To Don’t item:

Good luck with your projects! And I’m glad you got distracted enough to stop by.

I love “don’t worry about getting distracted” as I usually do find out about wonderful things when distracted, like this blog post.

And I also love the “don’t take on too many projects at once.” I find it hard to say no to others, but I end up not getting “my” things done as a result. But sometimes new projects are very interesting and hard to resist.

Maybe I’ll try a to-don’t list instead for once. It will be fun. Here’s my first:

- Don’t put off the really important deadline oriented projects any longer

I hear where you’re coming from, but my hope is that the To Don’t list will actually give you more freedom, not less. For me, it’s about breaking annoying constraints and freeing up time for the important stuff, like doing nothing much at all

My totally useless and immature contribution:

Don’t sweat the petty stuff….and don’t pet the sweaty stuff!
