The Reverse To-Do List: A Revolutionary Approach To Achieving Nothing
Level-up your life with an immediate sense of accomplishment
A new, groundbreaking study on achievement by the Journal of Achieving Things has concluded that people cannot fail if they don’t try. And if a person’s to-do list only contains things they will not do, they are guaranteed to succeed. The author of the study, Dr. Connie Delayer, said:
“It has been proven; if your to-do list exclusively contains tasks you have no intention of ever doing, you’re guaranteed to end each day with a sense of accomplishment.”
Members from National Procrastinators Anonymous and The Tomorrow Action Society, all of whom reported severe to-do list anxiety and perpetually growing tasks, participated in the study.
The years’ long study resulted in participants reporting a measurable increase in happiness after having replaced their to-do lists with “Reverse To-Do Lists”.
One Participant’s Reverse To-Do List:
✅ Do not go to the gym.
✅ Do not do the dishes.
✅ Do not call the insurance company to file claim for hail damage.
✅ Do not fix the squeaky door.
