Productivity Reminder 44

The list saves brain bandwidth. The list saves brain energy. The list allows you to focus maximum attention on the priority your list identified.

1. One list. That which you have to do. That which you want to do. Work and personal.
2. Reviewed 3/4 times a day in response to the question: using my best judgement and allowing for the urgency of today and considering carefully investment for the future, what's truly, truly important now?
3. Prioritised vs. your personal compass.
