A Reminder
When you make up your To Do list, also compose a very brief Don't Do sheet. The second list may produce more positive results than the first.

Simple yet powerful. I just finished my Friday list and then, procrastinating, read this advice. I could so easily list out what not to do (scan email in the middle of a task, check the news or Facebook...). I know what not to do, but the act of writing it down gave my knowledge more power and persistence.

I'm glad it was helpful!

Michael - good advice. I've been writing down to NOT do lists for a short while now and they are powerful ways to build better habits.
I wrote about "Why You Should Create a To Not Do List" on my blog at http://www.tubblog.co.uk/blog/2013/06/06/why-you-should-create-a-to-not-do-list/
Keep up the great posts - I originally found you via Nicholas Bate's blog and am now a regular reader!
Richard,
Thanks for the kind comments and the link!
I'm honored to have you as a reader.
Michael
