Not Doing List

Catapult Your Career by Upping Your "No" Game

By: Alexander Bant

Narrated by: Casey Wilson, Alexander Bant

This is your playbook for saying "no" to the right things every day, so you can finally get ahead.

We have a significant "yes" problem that’s stunting our growth and career. Yes, more meetings, projects, clients, initiatives, reports, data, dashboards, collaboration, emails, notifications, and social media. Yes, make it digital, faster, and always-on.

We organize. We prioritize. We delegate. We calendar. We focus. Yet, we always feel behind. Eventually we hit a ceiling or burn out. The truth is that you, Oprah, Elon Musk, and Melinda Gates all get the same 168 hours each week. So, how do some leaders cut through and accomplish great things? Their yes-to-no ratio is just radically different from yours. They start each day by selecting all of the things they won’t spend time on. This allows them to channel enormous energy into the few things that matter most.

Saying no is really hard. It’s high risk. Most professionals get it wrong. Your strategy to get it right is a "not doing list" (NDL). This step-by-step guide shows you how to build your NDL, message no to everyone you work with (including your boss), and train your colleagues to do the same.

Not Doing List is the perfect gift for your team, colleagues, boss and mentors.

Leave NDL out in your office or Zoom background, as a reminder to only spend time on what’s important.

Complete with Not Doing Digital: How to Guides that allow you to practice and implement the concepts real-time.

Good just not 100% practical

The reader was fantastic and kept the story engaging. however, the author spent way too much time overemphasizing using repetitive stories that had already proven a point. more than two times kept insisting on things that well work in theory, if you're a c-suite executive, do not exactly work when you're an individual contributor. I would recommend anyone to listen or read the book that is having difficulty keeping up with their boss's expectations. understand. however, there may be requirements that are unable or insufficiently capable of getting removed and play someone's not to-do list.
