To balance out my previous blog about "Getting Things Done", here is a quote I came across this week:
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of
leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
- Lin Yutang

Good one. Although leaving something undone (not doing what you committed to) seems different from eliminating things (committing to less).
Hi Matthew,
I am still thinking this over...
I like what David Allen said about renegotiating our committments with ourselves, and find this useful when my next action lists need pruning.
I believe Mark Forster talks more about how we can commit to less in his book "Do It Tomorrow"?
I probably need to find a combination of both.
Cheers, Tamara
