Why Does it Matter to Have a To-Not-Do List!
Hello, Steemians!
Successful people often urge beginners to create to-do lists and schedule their days to reach maximum efficiency and peak productivity.
But today, I am going to propose something different. Something that we all desperately need, but can’t understand just how much we need it.
As much as it is important to do some things in order to achieve your dreams, it is also important to not do some things and develop a sense of self-restraint.
This is what I would like to call a ‘To-not-do’ list!
Indulgence is a weakness that we all struggle with in our lifetime. We tend to have desires and cravings that may not be in our own best interest.
Sometimes, the urge to indulge an immediate pleasure overwhelms the idea of getting some work done for a higher purpose.
This weakness is inevitable. Now, I do believe that if we work on ourselves, we can overcome such urges and desires.
But my main point is this: having a ‘not-to-do’ list is just as important as having a schedule for things you will have to do!
After all, nobody understands your own urges and impulses better than you.
You have some tendencies or habits that are harmful when it comes to your mindset and productivity on a daily basis.
After so many years, you have recognized most of these habits.
Here is where it gets challenging: You have to work up the courage to make a not-to-do list and write everything that you should avoid in order to become the person you were meant to be.
Some people call this torture or oppression, but it is actually a process of self-betterment to achieve your goals and stop time from going to waste.
Nobody can know our characteristic pitfalls better than us. To avoid these pitfalls is a great challenge that only a few people can rise up to!
If making a to-do list can actually help with doing the things we want to do, then creating a not-to-do list can compel us to leave our bad habits behind and develop our character towards a better future.
The real argument is this:
If you need to do particular things to achieve your goals, then you equally need to not do particular things.
Break out of the chains of your bad habits by sitting down and making this list today!
A BIG HUG!!!

I stay with this since I have lived it in my own flesh. English costs me and to be able to answer by here now I must read do a good job to dedicate time. Thank you for teaching the things we must not do in order to succeed. I am convinced that postponing things is one of them. That's right today I started to respond because this medium helped me a lot in uploading my sp I'm very happy with @nothus. I'm going to keep pace to continue learning and benefit from these publications by learning and sharing. Thanks @chbartist.
I am convinced
That makes a lot of sense and I am definitely going to have to put procrastination at the top of my list
Also, look at your reputation!!
You are the first over 80 I have come across
I know how tough that is so Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!
I think I am gawking 😉
Thank you for bringing to our attention the obvious and yet overlooked 😊
We often take a similar approach to determine what to (1) start, (2) continue, and (3) stop doing. Stopping to do things that are a waste of time or should be delegated are often more important that the tasks yet to do!
Luckily I had some partners that I take as an example to what not to do in life... 😅
But yeah.. I'll take a proper list and put it on paper.
Greetings and have a great day.

I love the "not-to-do" list. It does take a lot of bravery to refrain from the instant pleasures of life to push through the more unpleasant parts of a job you're trying to get done! Thanks for the motivation!

I will start my list:
Do not waste time with toxic people.
Do not worry; rather, occupy me.
Do not increase a problem situation; pose the solutions.
Do not be pessimistic; generate optimism ...
And the list goes on, it is dynamic and must be adjusted to the situations of life.
Happy Steemit.
