Hi, today I'm going to show you a counterintuitive technique with which you can deal with a big list of tasks. Usually when you have so many tasks in a day, you zoom in, and you lose focus of the big picture. You start ignoring the tasks that help you reach your goals, or solve your important projects finish your important projects. So how can we get rid of the many tasks that we have on our list, and focus on the important ones that help us reach our goals? Well, this is where the counterintuitive part comes. Take your list.

And for each task on the list, move it to the last first day of the month. Basically, from a list of 50 tasks that you have to do today, you can move maybe 20 or maybe 40. Have them to the last first day of the month. If you can't move them on your last first day because you need to finish them this week, then move them to this week's first day. If you can't move them to any other day because you need to do them, then leave them on the list. Why what happens when you move your tasks to the last first day of the month, basically you cut your emotional tie with the task because when we send it to us we get a feeling in our budget that we must finish the task we must finish it today.

By moving them far away. We cut that feeling and when first day arrives, we will take a rational look at our list of 90 maybe 100 tasks and we will cut most of them because we are not tied anymore to them. What happens is that this technique leaves us with a very small list. And then we can add to this list the tasks that help us the important ones, the ones that help us reach our goals. So by moving all of our tasks further away, you're not procrastinating. We are living our day free for our important targets.

I'm using this technique all the time. Try it. See how it works for your day. And when you arrive at the last in the last first day of the month, well, yes, you'll have a very big list, but all the tasks on that list will not be important so you can work on them in bulk
