I enjoy that the author tells me to scrap my To-Do List, but then suggests that I "Make a list of possible things to do, if you like, or routine tasks that need to get done for one reason or another."
Um, that IS my To-Do List!
To me, this article is yet another example of, "This particular method I discovered works well for me, and now I'm a bit smug about it, so I'm going to try to make everyone who is doing it differently feel a bit silly".
- reduxredacted 16y agoUm, that IS my To-Do List That's precisely what I thought. I have three To Do lists: 1) The Honey Do list of things my wife needs me to do around the house. 2) My "Routine Maintenance" list that includes things like, ensuring I'm up on my automobile and home maintenance (check oil, fill up the cars every Sunday, etc). 3) My "Do Every Day" check-list like, take vitamins/medication, sort yesterday's laundry so it gets cleaned by my bride, put away any dishes/glasses I used the night before, set out clothes for the morning. I couldn't, personally, think of One Thing I'm excited about if I spent ten minutes wondering if I have everything I need before I go out the door to the office. It frees me from having to fret about forgetting to charge my phone (evening checklist), or finding out on my way to work that I unexpectedly need to fill up my car (Sunday evening check-list). They just get done without thought so my mind doesn't wander over to them.
