#75: Ditch your 50-line To Do List for a 5-line Priority List (Tonya Dalton)

“Overwhelm is not having too much to do, it’s not knowing where to start,” says Tonya Dalton, serial entrepreneur and author of “The Joy of Missing Out: Live More by Doing Less” (https://amzn.to/2sa7598) a “mini course” in a new organization paradigm.  Dalton believes most productivity manuals fail women because they are written by men who can’t account for or understand the multi-faceted, multi-pressured lives real women lead.  “Women have a lot more guilt, lean in more to productivity and process things differently in our brains,” she says. Join this insightful conversation with CoveyClub founder, Lesley Jane Seymour, where Dalton explains that you must put your purpose, passion and priorities at the center of your life so you can “create structure for the weeks and days”.  She explains how to create a “priority list” with “Escalate" at the top, “Cultivate" in the middle, and “Accommodate" at the bottom.  "Most of us get stuck at the bottom in the accommodate area," she warns.  “Screaming fires get done but are not so important.”
