Thank you for this nice post concerning to do’s. I’d love to share with you my version of to do’s. There was a time in my life that I was making a list every evening before going to bed. On that list was: Pick up suit at dry cleaner, Pick up one quart of soya milk etc. Then, I read two books: The first one: The Third Wave, (Toefler, Alvin, 1980) explained that we are in the midst of a change. The second book, The 7 Habits explained that we must start with the end in mind. In order to reach a certain amount of success we must imprint some direction to our lives; picking up the suit at the cleaner is hardly that. Second wave: To do lists,, looking backward. Third wave: Identity,Directions, values and looking forward. Now, I do one list per week, leaving the dry cleaner out. My list is made of direction rather than tightly framed issues. I feel better with myself and.. I rarely forget to pick up the soya milk!!
