The Power of a “Not-To-Do” List

 We all have to-do lists—but what about a not-to-do list? This tool helps you identify tasks, habits, or distractions you should avoid to protect your time and energy.

Examples include:


  • Don’t check email before 10 a.m.

  • Don’t say yes without a pause.

  • Don’t multitask during deep work.

This list helps you make room for what truly matters—deep work, rest, creativity, and growth.
