Searching for those simple truths in life that can be easily verified, it occurred to me that I have a habit of wasting time. I do not watch TV and I accomplish more than most, but I have found a common error I have been making.
In a way it is a slight form of procrastination. Today, I caught myself making a note to schedule a meeting. Then it hit me. Why am I making notes and lists for simple tasks? Well, the list was so that I would not forget it, right? When you have a list there is an implication that you will forget, so I always try to remember. In doing this, I am crowding my brain this useless worry. Why not just complete the task now?
Is this an epiphany? It is working so far. I feel more effective and that is all that matters, right? We will see how this plays out. Who knows, maybe I could write a book and sell this idea to people who think they are smart.
