I used to have a "To Do List" but as of about 1 year ago I completely changed my MO.
I figured a "To Do List" was more of a procrastinators temptation list, so I switched to a "Done List", this way I know when I look at the list, I
see them already done.
It worked out very very well for me in 2010, so I am sharing it with anyone that might want to try it for 2011.
Sounds like a very excellent "new" take on an old idea! Bravo! I like to realize the accomplishment, much more than anticipating the coming task.
Life can become overwhelming when one's ambitions exceed their abilities, whether they be time, money, energy, etc. Again, good job on the movement!
