thanks for checking out my article and giving your 2 cents to it.

I guess although it doesn’t look like, that we are on the same track. Write the tasks down and work on them. That is the only way to achieve something – period.

And I agree that there is no system fitting them all. I came up with this system when I was working as one of the top consultants in my niche for about 115 hours per week (yes, I was sleeping in the office). That was my turning point. When I decided I was a slave to a massive and impressive to-do list and following only, what others want from me (what today would be my O-List).

Today, I’ve gone back to having a smaller task list (which I call D&C List) & some other lists where I collect things I might do later and of things others want from me). For anything related to specific dates I also use a simple calendar. But the massive change for me was not in changing tools or systems. It was in changing my mindset and focusing on what I want and what I decided to do that day. It was about regaining my own power (and making lots of decisions including cutting back on work load).

So my basic premise at unwrapyourmind.com is not to establish myself as a guru who knows it all, but someone who has tried lots of things, failed at even more – and created his own philosophy and way of doing things in the making. And that is what everyone should do.

Find a way that feels good for you, make up and unwrap your own mind – and if your to do list and a calendar is it for you and you have no problem with the “I have to do – but don’t want to” syndrome, then more power to you.

Thanks for being open and stating your opinion.

I am always looking for other peoples experiences.
