Every "To Do List" has an invisible "Not Doing List."
Some of the "Not Doing" items, of course, will be unknown, but many can be revealed by simple reflection.
Common "Not Doing" projects involve physical exercise, connecting with old friends, volunteering for good causes, and writing thank you notes.
But the list can be much longer. I'm preparing one to go along with my "To Do List" if only as a reminder to attend to some very important items.

Thank you Michael for the timely reminder. I have shared your post with my wife, Allison, as I feel it long over due that we create a mutual "NOT DOING LIST!". Take care, Julian
Julian,
You are very welcome. It is jarring how so much busyness can squeeze out the truly important. We inadvertently say "no" to things we should be doing.
Best regards,
Michael
