So what happens when we keep making lists, but don't finish them? Our lists get longer! This cuts down on productivity. What's easier, more efficient, and less stressful, trying to work on and finish 5 things at once, or completing 1 thing at a time until 5 are finished?
Anyway, when's the last time you sat down and made an Inactivity List? A list of things that you don't need to work on or complete. It can be freeing to write down everything that's been on your mind to get done, but doesn't need attention anymore.
Whether it's pen and paper, computer with keyboard, or even a list manager on your mobile device, take 5 minutes and write an Inactivity List. You might just find yourself being less busy than you thought. You could also make your list while you wait!!!
