You Need a To-DON'T List

Yesterday I promised myself I wouldn't eat fast food. Better luck next time.
One of the most fundamental tools of productivity is a To-Do List to remind us of the tasks we plan on completing each day, so it makes just as much sense to create a list of the things we DON'T want to do each day.
A To-DON'T list isn't just an arbitrary list of things you won't do such as "Wrestle crocodile", "Go on blind date with Jennifer Aniston dressed up like Pee Wee Herman".
The real purpose of a To-DON'T list is to draw attention to the bad habits that you are trying to fix. This could be things like eating fast food, smoking, drinking, gambling, or something as simple as telling yourself not to be a jerk around your co-workers.
At the end of each day, you can look back on your list and see how you did. You may not get a perfect score each day, but if you get 18 out of 20, you'll still have something to celebrate.
