We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. –  Aristotle

I told a few friends of mine that I have been writing articles in this blog on a consistent basis.

In a recent email, the author of the book The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace, Rod Friedman mentioned something very interesting.

To-do lists are very handful when it comes to collecting the items that we are supposed to finish at a certain time in the future. Writing down everything that we should do is something that is mentioned several times in past few articles of this blog and we are not going to go much into detail about that here. Usually, they turn into a source of stress and disappointment, as we are never able to accomplish everything that is in our list. Even though we might read and try to implement the techniques for which we are convinced that are backed up by science, there is so much that we should do. The list simply keeps getting with endless number of tasks. However, calendars might come in handy at times like these and might even get combined with to-do lists.   Continue reading
