How to Create a ‘Don’t Do’ List
A ‘don’t do’ list is a list of all the things that don’t serve you. Think back to this year. What did you do in 2023 that didn’t serve you? What didn’t feel good or meet your core desires?
Now, think about your core desires. What are they? By combining these two things – what doesn’t serve you and what your core desires are – you can create your ‘don’t do’ list for 2024. This is the year we don’t do the things that are not in alignment with our core desires.
Set Boundaries to Protect Your Core Desires
Figuring out your core desires always comes back to determining your why. Why do you do what you do? What do you truly want to do? Maybe even more importantly – what don’t you want to do?
In this episode, I give many examples of core desires that might serve you best in 2024, some of which are definitely on my list. Do any of these resonate with you?
Finally, I want to talk about the importance of boundaries with your ‘don’t do’ list. Boundaries are especially important when you’re dealing with the things you put on your ‘don’t do’ list – they’re on there for a reason! Set boundaries so you are more likely to stick to your ‘don’t do’ list.

Quotes
“In 2024, yes, we will create to-do lists. And first, create a don’t do list, meaning the things that will go on this ‘don’t do’ list are the things that are not in alignment with your core desires.” [4:19]
“We need to know these desires because that’s what’s going to be on our to-do list. And it’s going to allow us to see what does not belong on the to-do list and instead will go on the ‘don’t do’ list.” [7:02]
“As you’re creating your ‘don’t do’ list, you have to reflect on what you did that drives you away from your current core desires. That might be a good answer to what doesn’t go on the current list and what goes on the ‘don’t do’ list.” [13:14]
“It’s really about connecting with yourself authentically with where you are now. That is the most important thing that you can do.” [24:33]
