Your not-to-do list is empty. Add things you want to stop doing!
A not-to-do list is the opposite of a to-do list — it captures habits, behaviors, and patterns you want to stop. Popularized by Tim Ferriss, it's a powerful tool for eliminating distractions and bad habits.
A to-do list focuses on what to add to your life. A not-to-do list focuses on what to remove — often the more powerful half of the productivity equation.
Start with 3–7 high-impact items. Too many becomes overwhelming and loses focus. Focus on the habits that most undermine your goals.
Each day, check off items you successfully avoided. Building a streak of avoided bad habits is just as motivating as building positive habit streaks.
Common entries include: checking email first thing in the morning, saying yes to every request, scrolling social media in bed, skipping meals, and multitasking during deep work.
