Keep To-Do List Short
- Keep your daily to-do list to three to five tasks to increase focus and productivity.
- This helps ensure you keep promises to yourself and avoid the negative feeling of uncompleted tasks.
Matching Expectations to Reality
- Failing to complete listed tasks causes emotional discomfort, unlike not listing them which aligns expectation with reality.
- Matching expectations to reality is key to happiness and reduces feelings of failure.
Use Running Lists for Future Tasks
- Maintain running lists for tasks not due immediately, like 'someday-maybe' lists.
- Only add tasks to your daily list when you commit to doing them that day to avoid mental clutter.
