Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Benjamin Franklin
I’m sure you have started logging your activities in a day. The contents of the activity logging will give you a lot of information. But we have to analyse the data from the voluminous information. For example, you should audit the quality of your day by asking such questions as: Did I do justice for the day? Could I have been even more productive?
By doing this you will get a ‘not-to-do-list’. We know what a ‘to-do list’ is. A not-to-do-list is a list of unnecessary activities, which ate into your time without adding any quality into your day. This is something like the role of an editor of a magazine or a movie, who cuts and removes such portion which is not required.
Tonight before going to sleep, you should list at least five activities which you should not have done. Remove them from your tomorrow’s to-do list!(From my book '100 Exciting Ways to Live')
