This approach is an incredible stress-reliever. It's easy to worry about how you're going to finish everything. But when "everything" becomes seven or eight tasks tomorrow, it becomes easier to manage. If you finish your daily or weekly list earlier than you expected, you might be tempted to expand. Why not add a few extra activities, you have the time, right ? This is a bad idea because it stops you from focusing on the daily list. As soon as you create the possibility for expansion, your "everything" goes from being the tasks to finish tomorrow, back to your infinite to-do list. Stress and procrastination soon follow.

Important point

"How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." If you've ever ran more than a few miles, you probably understand why you need to pace yourself. Runners that sprint at the start of a race will be exhausted far before they cross the finish line.
