“I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes-and six months later you have to start all over again.
Joan Rivers, comedian (1933- )
Author and management Consultant Tom Peters suggests it’s time to turn our to-do list into a “to-don’t have to do” list.
We need to rid our to do lists of things that don’t matter, don’t create value, don’t make a difference. We need to restructure our lives and take more time to do things that bring us joy. Women need to carve out time for the activities that will create meaningful lives and discard the things that won’t.
Think about this tomorrow morning when you compile your to-do list. What two things can you take off that really don’t have to be done?
Maybe you can have a Protein Shake for the whole family instead of spending time cooking fancy meal?
Maybe it’s more important to take your children to the park instead of watching
mindless TV show.
What can you do to turn your “to-do” list into a “don’t-have-to do” list?
