Ever heard of a TO-NOT list? 🤩
We all know what to-do lists are. Our daily lives are full of them! You probably have multiple to-do lists in a variety of forms on the go as you are reading this. (Am I right? 🫣)
But in a world filled with ever-growing to-do lists (seriously, does anyone ever reach the end of theirs?), and on-going tasks, it can get a little overwhelming. We can become so focused on all we have to do, that we forget there’s a whole list of things we don’t need to do.
Enter the concept of the "to-not" list. Never heard of it? Let us enlighten you.
A to-not list takes the traditional to-do list and flips it on its head. Instead of jotting down the tasks we need to accomplish, a to-not list features things not to do today. This concept helps shift our focus towards consciously avoiding activities, thoughts, and habits that hinder our productivity, drain our energy, or simply those things that don’t help us align with our goals and values.
By embracing the power of saying "not today!" to certain tasks, distractions, or negative habits, we create space for all the things that will take us closer to achieving our goals. And they can actually help us get more done! A win-win!

Do You Already Have What It Takes to Run a Successful Podcast? I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Gareth Davies, a music producer and now podcast host of not one but two shows! (Gareth’s full In The Spotlight interview is linked below.) And something he said got me thinking about ➡️ transferable skills ➡️. And how – I'd argue, more than almost any other industry – the podcasting space celebrates this idea of transferable skills. And that’s because a successful podcast involves so...
The One About Taking Action Carli and I were doing some “serious business brainstorming” the other day. And at some point in the “very serious brainstorming”, we rabbit-holed (as you do) down a path that led to, at the time, a very natural follow-up question, “So, what’s your go-to karaoke song?” FUN FACT: Carli’s is “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood. (Classic!) Mine is Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby”. 🧊 Less classic. I know. But, for whatever reason, many moons ago, I had this brainwave...

And since then, we've been on a bit of a roll in the Hot Takes Department 😉 at We Edit Podcasts. And so I thought I was going to share another hot take with you here. But,...
