Change your mindset first, then your habits
Once your task list is clear and aligned with your goals, take steps to keep it clear.
- For every new task that comes to your to-do list, ask if it leads to your vision. If not, discard it immediately.
- Unhelpful tasks will sneak in from time to time. Weed them out with a weekly review so you can start each week with a clearly prioritised to-do list.
- Check in on your big-picture every few months.
