Why to-do lists suck

If you’re still using to-do lists 🥱, you need to-do this! [Mindvalley Logo]     Hi {NAME}, Could your to-do list be stealing your focus, productivity, and even your self-esteem? According to habit formation expert [Nir Eyal]( there’s a very good reason why you should be shredding up your to-do list for good. Look at this… Have you ever written out a massively comprehensive to-do list and in a spurt of motivation completed everything on it? Neither have I. Because the list just keeps growing, doesn’t it? And it’s human nature to-do the quick and easy things first, rather than the most important. So they become a constant reminder of how much you still have to do. And actually end up, in many cases, leading to procrastination, additional stress, and even guilt. Fortunately there’s a far more productive alternative… Here’s a snapshot of my personal Google calendar.     [Become hyper-productive](   Beautiful, right? But busy, right? Actually no. Contrary to what you may think (especially with how colorful and chaotic it looks), this tool has made me more productive, more focused and rewards me with more time-freedom than any to-do list I’ve used in the past. Because it turns out that science actually says this is a far more effective way to operate your life. It’s called the Time-Box Calendar, and I learned it from the famous author Nir Eyal - one of the leading minds on the topics of habit formation, focus and productivity. And though it may look a little overwhelming, it’s actually incredibly easy to use. Now I'm sharing this with you because this week on Mindvalley we're talking about the concept of [indistractibility](. That word is coined by Nir himself, to describe the state of superhuman focus and peak productivity you achieve when following his methods. Nir is an incredible teacher. And because you’re clearly the type of person want to get things done faster and values your free time… I’d like to invite you to join me and Nir on a free masterclass that will deliver instant results and probably save you two to three hours a week. We're gonna go deep into why you should take your to do list, tear it apart, and instead, try using a timebox calendar that looks as beautifully complex as mine. We’ll also cover Nir’s practical tips on how you can stay focused amidst the sea of modern-day distractions, and the neuroscience and psychology behind why your mind starts to wander. If you’re keen about making the most of your time, whether it’s at work, time with your family or even your downtime… Time is your most important resource. The masterclass is free. So spend an hour with Nir and I and reclaim an entire working month of free time per year (I did the math…it checks out).
