It seems to me that listing things you should not do sounds more easy to achieve than things you have to do.
Some examples

Don’t ignore my kids –> Always have fun with the kids –> makes you think: what is next I can do to please them. The Truth is: sometimes they need their own “me time” (like my kids now: i can then read some blogs)

Don’t stare at a screen every 5 seconds –> This might be an exception, especially in the current volatile markets. It sounds easier to say: Look at the end of the month to update your net worth

Just stumbled upon this, and it completely relates to an article I’m about to post about my New Year’s resolutions. I tend to play it on the safe side, and where’s the fun in that? So, my goal this New Year is to DON’T be afraid – to fail, of rejection, of the unknown. I’m looking forward to the challenge!

In reply to Tim. Yep! All about that balance.

Balance the “To Don’t” list with the “To Do” list, then it becomes positive reinforcement for overall personal growth rather than a permissions/limitations issue. At least that is true for me.

In reply to Chris.

hah – love it! I actually started doing that in my daily journal inadvertently. I used to jot the few things I needed to get done that day in it, but after a while it got boring (and especially to go back and read later!) so I changed it to all the awesome stuff that happened the day before :) Now I get excited to write in it again as it’s more of a diary than a huge to-do list (and most things I already know I have to get done so it’s not too bad of a loss of reminder)

In reply to Christine @ The Pursuit of Green. YES! And most people only share their best too and "forget" to share their worst ;)

I have to admit that I have never completed a To-Do or To-Don’t list! I learned several years ago that instead of creating a To-Do list at the beginning of the day/week and then feeling down when there are things that you did not complete it is much better for me to complete a To-Done list at the end of the day/week showing all that you accomplished.

Just some food for thought (and it doesn’t go against your allotted daily calories which is oh so important during the holidays).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
