Soon, I will have my yearly performance review meeting with my managers. 😅 Do you have any tips on preparing and presenting during such a review meeting?

We've been taught, and I teach others the importance of having a To Do list in a central location. A To Do list is not post it notes all over the place, but an actual list (physical or digital) that you can keep track of items that need to get done. However, I have seen too many people add things to their to do list just for the feeling of checking it off. We actually get a hit of dopamine, the same feeling we get when scrolling social media and people positively commenting on a post we made, or some comment we wrote. That dopamine hit can be addictive, and since we like the feeling, we write things down just to tick them off the list. You may even be one of them, are you? Instead, your To Do list should be a parking lot of things that MIGHT have to get done. You can then evaluate your To Do list with a filter like the Eisenhower Matrix (see image). By evaluating the possible To Do's, and then filtering them based on urgency and importance, you are on your way to make the most our of your time, get more done, and living a happier more productive life. Have you EVER put something on your To Do list just so you can tick it off? Comment below.
