Setting Boundaries with a To-Don’t List


Listen Later

If you’re drowning in a busy schedule, it's time to hit pause and start setting boundaries with the mighty to-don't list.

The to-don’t list identifies activities that waste your time, create distractions, or don't align with your priorities so you can consciously avoid them. This frees up time and brain power so you can focus on what really matters to you. 

In today’s episode, I’m going to share tips about how you can create your own to-don't list:

1.  Identifying Timewasters: Take a look at your daily schedule and identify activities that are wasting time. This could be excessive social media browsing, unnecessary meetings, or ineffective multitasking. 

2.  Setting Boundaries: For your to-don’t list to be effective, you need to establish clear parameters for yourself

3.  Communicating Your Boundaries: It’s essential to communicate your boundaries with others to ensure they understand and respect your choices. 

4.   Hacking Yourself: Reinforce your to-don't list by establishing consequences or rewards for yourself. This will help you stay motivated and committed.

5.   Review and Adjust: Your to-don't list should not be static. Regularly review and adjust it to ensure it remains relevant to your goals

If this episode has inspired you to make your own to-don’t list remember to be kind to yourself, celebrate your victories, and stay committed to the habits that serve you best.
