I had a question…I didn’t quite understand the management by to-do lists point where you seem to be advocating that it’s not a great system to follow. I would think that’s a good system to follow, making it easier to know the things that need to be done and then striking them off once done. However, it’s also another thing to really follow through with maintaining those lists on a regular basis. Anyway, what I wanted to know, is are you suggesting another method of managing the umpteen number of things that we have to do and of the never-ending things that keep getting added to our never-ending lists.

I have also downloaded many productivity tools, including mind-mapping, to-d organizers, etc software.

I need to break away from the inertia of this endless ‘preparing-to-do’ loop that I am in. I need to replace it with a ‘do-and-tweak’ loop mindset.

Your advice has been immensely helpful. Thanks.

Another good way of overcoming constraints is to partner with people who have different and complementary strengths to you, that way everyone spends most of their time doing what they do best, with maximum impact.

Many bloggers would have stopped at 29 and said, “Do you see yourself in any of these?” and that would have been the article. I love that you gave steps for improvement afterwards. That was the frosting on the cake!

Thanks for a great article. I subscribed to your feed and got your book. Look forward to giving it a read.

1. Removing the clutter, shutting down stuff to focus on one step at a time is good.

2. Trying to stop multi-tasking when I don’t need to.

3. Keeping focused on phase one work instead of injecting junk that doesn’t need to be done.
