| 0:00.0 | So I take my list of 100 things and I say, okay, pray to a principal, principle, go back. |
| 0:06.4 | What are the 20% that are going to produce 80% of the results? |
| 0:11.1 | Like what are the should do things? |
| 0:12.7 | What are the 20%? |
| 0:13.6 | So if I have 100, then I take 20% all of a sudden I have 20. |
| 0:18.1 | Okay, cool. |
| 0:18.8 | I look at those 20. |
| 0:19.8 | That's still way too many fucking things to do |
| 0:21.4 | in a day so I say all right of those 20 what are the 20 percent of those and I narrow it down to five |
| 0:27.2 | so I've got these five things even still with me though if I have five important things to look at in one day |

| 1:08.7 | So I'm going to do a little series of episodes for you. I don't know if they'll be in particular order or not, but I just think these little short snippet episodes are going to be insanely valuable all around effectiveness. And starting with effectiveness and time management. And today I want to talk about why your to-do list is probably setting you up for failure. |
| 1:30.9 | I have a really strong love-hate relationship with to-do list. |
| 1:35.0 | And anyone who's ever been through IFCA knows this. |
| 1:37.6 | They know that I'm adamant about my power list. |
| 1:40.2 | And it didn't feel justice to just do an episode on the power list because the power list can be so |
