My mom saw this concept on TV and thought it was a great idea so she shared it with me and I am sharing it with you. We spend a lot of time creating To Do Lists about our goals and tasks. I always tell clients and friends to create life lists to get the most out of life, but when do we make a list of the things we don’t need in our lives?That is where the Don’t Do List comes into play. With this list, you are able to remind yourself of the things you commit to not do anymore. You can think of all those bad habits you want to change and when you are ready, you place them on the list and commit to stopping them. Unlike a To Do List, we do not list tons of items and cross them off as we do them. On the Don’t Do List, we place the item on the list when we are truly committed to stopping the habit. Once we feel we have a good handle on stopping it, we go ahead and add the next item we are committed to stop doing.What are some examples of items to add to the list? Stop smoking, stop self doubting, quit judging others, stop neglecting your friends, etc.This list is not meant to be negative but a healthy reminder of the bad habits we commit to change and finally are putting them to rest.

    That is very insightful and seems like it could be even more productive than the “to do” list. People dwell on the things that are negative, so why not put a positive spin on dwelling on those negative aspects of your life. Thank you for the insight and have a Happy Valentines Day with your loved ones!
