In this episode, I talk about the idea of the avoidance list and why success is more about what you don’t do than what you do. This comes from a story in the book The Third Door and a strategy often linked to Warren Buffett, even though he didn’t actually create it. The idea is simple: pick your top five goals and avoid the other twenty, not because they’re bad, but because they distract you. Focus is limited, and trying to do everything weakens your results. I will explain why a “not-to-do” list might be more powerful than any to-do list.
