The not to-do list

I like lists. And even though I am thankful that I live in the computer age and use a computer every single day, I like to hand write my lists. I like my lists to be neat, printed, and numbered. I enjoy drawing a line through the items as I complete them. I have been known to accomplish something that was not on my list, then put it on my list, just so I can draw a line through it. Lists are good.

Bryan Dodge, a great speaker and author, wrote in his book, "Good Life Rules" about the not to do list. I agree with Bryan that a not to do list is important to have on hand.

Each one of us will have our own items on it, and for the most part, the items are not as important as just having the list to keep control of your life. We have all met people who can not say no. But saying no is vital to a well balanced life.

So this week, spend some time thinking about your priorities and beliefs. Then based on those stamdards, create a not to do list that will help you say no. It is a great tool to stay focused and keep your priorities in line.
