My Proposed Work Style Policy - Not To Do List

Work Style Policy: ToDo List and NotToDo List

Adding a "NotToDo List" to Your "ToDo List"

Let's add the creation of a "NotToDo List" to our "ToDo List"!

The world is overflowing with things we should do. We want to do this and that.

On top of that, we're often told by our parents or teachers, "You must do this."

As a result, we end up with a mountain of tasks that seem impossible to complete.

We spend our days bouncing between tasks, and clearing tasks becomes our sole goal, leading to a halt in our thinking.


NotToDo List

To thoroughly exclude unnecessary things for each project, I propose a "NotToDo List."

My Proposed "NotToDo List" for Work

Don’t Develop Alone

Developing alone leads to discontinuation. Approaches become outdated, and bugs increase. It’s generally challenging 😜. If you can't solve it intuitively, you’ll never be able to. Deadlines are the best motivation. Wanting a break (the truth 😁). Once you're used to it, there’s no growth.

Don’t Attend Meetings

If there are more people than can eat two pizzas (4–6 people), discussions become difficult. If there’s no decision-making power in the meeting, it feels unnecessary to attend. Meetings without an agenda are unlikely to reach conclusions 😑.


So, What to Do?

My Proposed Solutions

Don’t Develop Alone

  • Work with others.
  • Rely on professionals (cooking is a perfect example).

Always Do Something

  • Find work that balances impact and learning.
  • Enjoy making changes.

Don’t Attend Meetings

  • Set up meetings that you need to attend.
  • Require an agenda for meetings.
