The Death of the To-Do List – Why Your Calendar is the More Powerful Tool

Most of us have been taught to keep a to-do list for our tasks and projects, and our calendar for meetings and appointments. With a to-do list, certain items can get constantly pushed back for more “urgent” items in the moment. Often, at the end of the day we find that the list of uncompleted tasks has gotten longer, not shorter. Then, we have this feeling that we can never get enough done, resulting in guilt and stress.

But what if you instead used your calendar to schedule everything, including those to-dos? Have you ever heard someone say, “Hang on, let me check my to-do list.”? Putting something on your calendar is making a true commitment to it.

Our Role as Business Leaders in Our Community

We have all heard the old saying that time is the most valuable commodity. As a leader, it can often feel as though our plates are so full that we have little time for anything else. However, I encourage you to consider the value of becoming an active leader in your community.

The benefits of supporting the community not only come to the organizations you support, but also to you, your employees, and your organization as a whole.
