NOvember 10th. I’m saying NO to to-do lists

To-do lists are evil. 😈

I write a task on a to-do list, and it taunts me.

“Hey, Liane. It’s item 9. Down here. Did you forget about me?”

It intrudes all day like Poe’s telltale heart. 🫀

It chastises me again the next morning when I write it on my fresh list. ✍🏻

And again the next day. 📆

“I think you’re delusional, Liane. You didn’t get me done yesterday…or the day before. And have you SEEN how full your calendar is today? Not a chance I’m getting crossed off TODAY.”

To-do lists suck because they leave tasks in your thoughtload.

I’m saying NO to to-do lists.

I’ve switched to bullet journaling.

When I think of something, I note it on the day I’m going to do it.

That removes it from my thoughtload until it becomes workload.

My productivity is higher. My stress is lower.

About me:
I've never climbed Mount Everest (and never will). So far, I've never been in space. I don't even have an Olympic gold medal (although I did win the Grade 9 Phys Ed award). But the prize for solving the most difficult team challenges is named after me (no, not really, but someday it probably will be).

For the past 25 years, I've researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. Known as the “teamwork doctor,” I've worked with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across a variety of industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including 26 Global Fortune 500 companies (and counting), I've developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them.
