Unreliable To-Do items

In addition to reading this article, what else do you plan to do today?

Have you noticed this? On many efficiency tools such as lifehacker.com,There is another new To-Do (to-do) software.. You can find a large number of similar software on various platforms. Now you probably think this is a bit ridiculous. According to the Law of lifehacker (a new to-do software release will be available every 24 hours ), you probably need a to-do software to track all of these to-do software.

Life hacker is a blog website that focuses on lifestyle tips and software. Its slogan is: "Use life tips and software to solve the problems encountered ." -- Translator's note

In my life, I keep trying to use the to-do list, but each time it fails. Even if I use it in an interesting way, like epic win, I still cannot succeed.

Finally, I realized that the problem was not me. From the very beginning, these to-do lists are tools to help me live, but over time, they gradually turned into a "Restoration Theory"-based, thankless, and tiring practice. My to-do list is suffering me ...... Adam Wozniak points out:

1. The list will give you the illusion of progress.
2. The list will give you the illusion of completion.
3. The list of unfinished tasks can bring you guilt.
4. For things that are always postponed, the list will make you feel guilty.
5. For things you don't want to do but don't do, the list will make you feel guilty.
6. The priority is incorrectly assigned based on the list.
7. The list is not efficient enough (think about it, you will spend a lot of time maintaining this list ).
8. The list consumes the pleasure of taking the initiative to do things, making you feel that doing things has become an obligation.
9. In the long run, the list does not make you more organized.
10. The list will lead you to lack of initiative in doing things, and you will lose the spirit of exploring things beyond the plan (in the face of facts, there is no way to plan many things in your life ).

Reduism ISM is a philosophical viewpoint that advocates restoring the form of advanced motion to the form of low-level motion. It believes that every phenomenon in real life can be regarded as a collection or component of a lower-level and more basic phenomenon. Therefore, it can replace the patterns of advanced sports with the patterns of low-level sports. The methodology derived from the restoration theory is to continuously analyze the research objects, restore their original state, and simplify the complexity. -- Translator's note

I have never used the to-do list to manage things related to my life. If I do this, it means that my life has encountered some serious problems that need to be solved, rather than finding a "suitable" to-do software for me. As for the things that are dispensable for my life, I will keep putting them in an outdated to-do list. These growing and insignificant To-Do items, like the katamari ball, gradually become a mental burden.

Katamari ball comes from a game called "I love katamari, the task of this game is to roll a ball named katamari through the constant collection of peripheral things. -- Translator's note

Yes, this lengthy to-do list always exists, like a blade hanging above my head, and is becoming heavier and sharper every day.

Like a hoorhood, I have misunderstood the real reason for accumulating more and more unfinished work. When hoarders have to discard things, they always think it is a storage problem. It is like I said that I am short of time because I only have 24 hours a day. Or, more accurately, crazy people are always explaining their own crazy situation with crazy reasons. The real reason may be that I am too easy to accept new projects, or because I don't want to give up an unsuccessful project. Maybe I don't want to publish what I do well, because they are always imperfect and not good enough.

I know that I am not the only one who can easily claim that time is not enough. When we find it difficult to prioritize ourselves, make decisions, or reject (others' or their opinions), most people complain that time is not enough.

If I only have a small vault of time, I only have magic organization tools, or I can only improve production efficiency. At that time, only at that time, I should take this approach: arrange the increasing backlog of work and the to-do list into a line, then they are crushed like an ice-breaking ship that easily sailed to the Arctic.

However, have you used the correct method? Maybe you can use this new and more dazzling edge to make your work easier. Here are some suggestions for you:

1. In fact, only one project is needed on the to-do list of everyone, and others are redundant.
2. At first, you do not need a to-do list.
3. Don't use the to-do list any more. Discard it because it will hurt you.
4. I am serious.
5. You may feel a little panic, but the right choice will always make people feel a little panic, so do it now!
6. I'm not kidding.
7. Isn't the Hao and Oz double groups cool? I know. This is a rhetorical question. But I still want to ask you.
8. Look, this cannot achieve the expected results.
9. Wait, have I just created a list?

The following is a task I have given you: when you wake up every morning, if you cannot use the brain that God has given you to figure out the three most important things you need to do on this day, you must solve the problem first. I am not saying that you should install a new software, or read blogs and books on efficiency improvement. You must understand what is important to you and make you passionate. Ask yourself, isn't it enough to make you feel painful and make up your mind to "get it done? Do it now!

Tools are like clouds, but your brain and heart will be with you all your life. Learn to trust them. If you cannot, try your best to train them so that you can trust them. If one thing is really important, you will remember to do it. If you forget it, you may remember it one day. It would be nice if you never remember it!
