Replace Your To-Do List

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Replace Your To-Do List

I'm sure you have a lot to do. If you use a To-Do list, I'd like to pass on advice that will make your days much more fun.

LOSE your "To-Do List." Replace it with a" Did I Do It List."  

To-Do Lists make you a slave to the checkmark. They cause more stress the longer they get.  

A" Did I Do It List" assumes you know what must be done. Instead of chasing, you are checking to make sure you did it.  

An un-focused path produces additional tasks to fill your day. A "Did I Do It List" will focus on your goals and create quick results.
