A constant reminder I need
The Daily Drip
Make a list of all the things you want to do.
Then make a shorter list of just the things you absolutely need to do or you'll go crazy/never forgive yourself/etc.
That's your to-do list.
Everything else? That's your to-don't list.
I think Warren Buffet popularized this concept.
It's not that the things you won't do aren't important or valuable, they're just not the most important or the most valuable and they compete for your attention.
I constantly have to remind myself that I can't do everything.
This list helps make it easier and more clear.
