As an organisational psychologist, Amantha Imber has always loved to-do lists. So when Rachel Botsman, a Trust Fellow from Oxford University, told Amantha about “to-don’t” lists a few years ago, her interest was piqued.
“I reflect on what really de-energised me in the last month and what I want to do less of,” she says. “And I’m really deliberate in stopping things that I feel are not serving me.”During one of Imber’s recent to-don’t-list brainstorming sessions, she reflected on how it felt to give keynote speeches at dinner functions. She’s never enjoyed speaking at these events, where the audience is distracted, and often tipsy or flat-out drunk.
“Ask yourself: ‘Thinking back over the last month, what were the things that de-energised me or deflated me that are in my control to change?’” Try not to feel overwhelmed if the list seems endless. Instead, “maybe just pick the top three to five things that are going to be your focus for the month”. Next month you can review the list and see how you feel about tackling more items.
