How to Get Started with a “Done” List

I am starting with a hot take today - brace for impact.

I genuinely believe that the idea of productivity is flawed. I call it productivity porn, but you can name it as you wish.

The problem is not in the concept itself, but in the idea that to be more productive we should be doing more.

What if we focused on doing more of the RIGHT thing, and stop racing against our to-do lists?

See, I am a recovering to-do list checker. The more I could get done, the better. I realised I was not the only one, either. In our society, we try to work faster and obsess over speed. Mindset is the true shift we need.

What is, instead of obsessing over what we should be doing, we could celebrate what we have done throughout the day?

Welcome to the “Done list”. This is not a new concept, yet it’s one that I never tried before.
