Great piece, and as a compulsive list writer myself, I will try your new approach! No wonder you are a writer.

I am a big list person, and what I have found is a long list can become my crutch. It seems to hold me back rather than inspire me along. It can become my excuse rather than a real road map. What I have found is limiting my list to around five items makes it feel much more doable. Any longer and the procrastination bug creep up and bites me. I become paralyzed and just stare at a blank screen or veer off into twitterland and waste time. Procrastination is my evil barrier to success.

I think sometimes we write out a to-do list expecting the process to be exactly the way it is written on paper. Then we realize that there are also many other factors involved that can slow us down, like emotions going wrong or physical energy being drained out. Great post Emma.

This is a good way to think about it. This was an interesting post as I think it highlights why business plans can be so daunting – too much hidden inner resistance!

I so recognize this. Whenever I'm looking at my list of things to do, there are tasks that seem doable on the list, but are huge in my mind. It's really worth stopping for a second and figuring out why that is because it <em>will</em> cause delays, I can vouch for that. Thanks for sharing!
