Distractions abound in life: detours and delays that fritter away our time and energy, beguiling diversions that dissipate our focus. A “Not to Do” list pulls into awareness the ways we squander the precious moments of our life on the trivial and inconsequential. Given that our time and energy are a limited resource, a not to do list helps us remember that every yes is a no, and we should always put first what is most important, not who or what asked first or loudest.
