What would you put in your to don’t list?

I have always had a to do list…even back in high school — I had a Palm Handspring! Now, in an effort to rethink, how I get things done: I am considering adopting this idea that I read about in Daniel Pink’s The Flip: To Don’t List.  Here are some ideas for keeping a to don’t list:

  1. Don’t keep checking my email
  2. Don’t keep my phone on me all day
  3. Don’t eat and watch TV
  4. Don’t eat 2 hours before I go to bed
  5. Don’t get out of bed without taking a deep breath
  6. Don’t hang out with negative people
  7. Don’t be mean
  8. Don’t get ahead of yourself
  9. Don’t rush
  10. Don’t look at your iPhone before you go to sleep and right when you wake up
As Mark Twain said, “If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter?” In the same way, what we leave out of our day-to-day is just as important as what we leave in. What about you?
