What to include in your not-to-do list



Making a not-to-do list is a personal experience, and everyone's list will look different. Here are some ideas to help you get started.

Do not:

• Continually check your emails. Instead, batch your emails.

• Eat lunch at your desk. Instead, go for a walk, or talk to colleagues.

• Attend useless meetings.

• Abuse time blocking. It can disrupt spontaneous creativity.

• Spend too much time on social media.

• Drink coffee late in the afternoon.

• Try to please everyone. Learn to say no.
