Why i stopped using to-do lists

Brighthouse Sports Pass for Universal Sports channel
Five minutes can seem like forever, or not nearly enough time.

 

Many of us live and die by our to-do lists. Used to be a poster child for that. Those days are history.

Why did i stopped using to-do lists?

If it doesn’t fit in my memory or on a post it note, it can wait. And if it can wait, odds are decent it doesn’t matter.

i also became much more self aware of my energy balance when i came to the realization life has five big, intuitive, choices.

  1. Mind – we think
  2. Body – we move
  3. Spirit – we feel
  4. Money – we work
  5. HQ – we dwell

Balance is always about focus, but it’s more about energy than time.

It’s simple, focusing on the time element is the wrong metric.

Focus on balancing your energy.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, but it does mean simple.

(photo: This is the last of five daily blogs written each morning. Organized enough to include these photos from a few minutes ago. Desk faces East but walked downstairs and down the front porch steps.)

Fun is in the home freedom.

It’s astonishingly staggering the space we make in every corner of our lives when we clean out the corners of our drawers, closets, and other living spaces.

In two words – extraordinarily freeing.

Being free is fun.

Having fun is a big part of why we exist.

No brainer, eh.

Busy, busy.
