I agree with Steve, my feed reader takes sooo much of my time. This is a great concept. I agree with Steve, my feed reader takes sooo much of my time.

Good to think through what makes us unproductive - and it's different for different people. When I'm procrastinating I read through my feed reader - almost unlimited amount of time can be spent doing that! Good idea.

It's worked pretty good so far. I don’t have a “not to do list” so much as a note taped to my desk reminding me not to make up stuff to do to avoid doing important, if uncomfortable, things.

The only things that I may have a problem with this list is the possibility of moving away from the highly important "break times" that are of course somewhat unproductive, yet actually benefit your productivity later. The only other thing is that this list could become unending and hinder your productivity in its production. Focusing so long on what can hurt you may pull away from focusing what could benefit you. In all though, I think this would provide a fantastic aspect to the general project and goal setting practices. A lot of the time we focus on how we will be productive and and how something will be completed, but we fail to recognize what may lead us astray. Thank you for this, I will keep this in mind when I construct my to do lists.
