NOTE

The Anti Skill - Being Ok With Never Finishing Your ToDo List

The anti skill is the ability to not do something and be okay with the fact that there will always be tasks on your to-do list. It is the capacity to focus on something that genuinely matters to you, even when there are other things calling for your attention. It is similar to negative capability, staying with one activity despite unresolved matters. While you still have to attend to other tasks, you can give up hoping to finish everything and treat it as something to dip into regularly with no expectation of completion.
