Most people treat their to-do list like a sacred scroll, adding more and more until it becomes overwhelming. The truth? Some tasks don’t deserve your time anymore.
Why It Works
Creates focus: removing clutter sharpens your priorities.
Frees time: less busywork, more meaningful progress.
Reduces guilt: you stop carrying tasks that don’t align with your goals.
How to Do It:
Look at your current list with a critical eye.
Ask: Does this move me closer to what matters most?
Cross off at least one task — and don’t look back.
Your list should serve you, not weigh you down. By deleting what no longer matters, you create space for the work that does.
