To Don't List

While talking to my dad over the weekend, the topic of a "to don't list" came up. This is not a new idea, but it is an interesting one. I had not followed my unofficial/just in my head "to don't list" recently and it had gotten me into a bit of a pickle. Basically the idea is that most folks have a "to do list" but rarely have a list of things that they shouldn't do. I think the "don't" is perhaps more important than the "do" list. It can really help you from getting into trouble and can perhaps help you stay on task when you are distracted by other things.
