Episode 55 - The power of the not-to-do list - how to focus on what really matters

The path to getting more done is to reduce the number of things you are doing in the first place. On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm looking at why a not to do list has way more power than an endless list of tasks to complete when it comes to get the stuff that really counts done.I'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to create a 'not to do' list and share my own examples along with some tips if you are struggling to develop your ability to say no to yet more tasks. Don't forget to take a look at this week's podsheet to support and encourage further learning and exploration of the podcast topic. Chapters00:00 Introduction: The Power of a 'Not to Do' List02:23 Learning to Say No and Setting Boundaries03:23 What is a 'Not to Do' List?06:18 Taking Control and Boosting Productivity09:13 Developing the Ability to Say No11:38 Consistency and Communication in Using a 'Not to Do' ListGet a full transcript of the episode hereDownload the podsheet for this episode to explore this topic further hereSign up for the free Ready to Rise Substack career community here Check out the Ready to Rise 2024 Career Planner here Connect with meWebsiteLinkedInInstagramHow can I support the podcast?→ Subscribe→ Share this episode with a friend or on your socials→ Leave a reviewI would love to hear your feedback on my podcast.
