I like you and your posts. I like the guys and girls who post here. I don’t know if anyone made “to-do” lists before about 50 years ago. I would love to see the very first “to-do” list. Could be I am wrong.. anyone see a to-do list in a clay tablet?

Am currently working on developing the “7 Habits of Highly Ineffectual People”, think this should be the required antidote!

Lovely article, thank you. I just have one comment, your example of your apparently less productive day seemed ridiculously productive to me! There’s no way I could squeeze all of that into one day! I find that just going to one yoga class that goes for 1.5 hours seems to take up half of the entire day. Or if I decide to work and do something else on the same day, I can pretty much only manage one other thing. And then I can’t seem to fit food preparation in. Basically I seem to be able to do very little in one day. You must be full of energy! And I’m very glad you’ve had this awakening, because if that is your unproductive day then you must’ve been very hard on yourself before!
All the best to you.
