I’m sure you’ve tried a bunch of ideas to get more out of your day.

Here’s yet another one for you in the theme of keeping your business simple.

Cut your to-do list down to just 2 or 3 things per day.

I tried the 6 things list before and what I found was that at least 2 or 3 things kept being pushed back to the next day anyway and I felt less than great about that.

Now, I am working on being even more realistic about what I can do with my time. If I can consistently do 2 important things that I planned to do and occasionally complete a third or fourth, I’m on top of the world!

Just make sure that the 2 or 3 things are important things that will bring long-lasting benefits and not just firefighting.

Try to get as accurate a perception of reality as you can, determine your priorities, complete the top 2 or 3 action items every day and you’ll be on your way to doing more with fewer to-do items.
