Stress Reduction: Whittle down your to do list with a not to do list

The FactoryCity weblog discusses the value of creating "not to do lists" to get rid of the stress of an overwhelming to do list:

As someone leading four or five lives' worth of stuff to do... having a "Not to do list" when I'm getting jammed up makes a lot of sense. It means being more aware of what you're wasting your time on and... frees up more time to be filled with real good stuff.

As Web Worker Daily points out, the Someday Maybe list is where GTDers can get prolific with their to dos without feeling too much stress, but if you're someone who gets overwhelmed at lists when they start stretching into forever, even the Someday Maybe list can get stressful. Reviewing your to dos and figuring out your "not to dos" is a good way to clean house and catalog those things that you've prioritized out of your life.
