Don’t agree. They don’t care if you can’t show on why its piling up. Measure to control.

They should if they want to keep you as an employee.

Let me try linking to it.

I only care about your “got done” list, and even that comes with the constraint of “lately”.

How we handle ambiguity and failure have a lot to do with our potential for success.

Two somewhat unrelated situations that somehow are linked too many times.

Nice work

On the same list I found this one inspiring also. - Your reputation is more important than your paycheck, and your integrity is worth more than your career.

... because, if you’re a grown-up, chances are your to-do list is infinite. Crossing something off it doesn’t make it any smaller

Then again, with your hand in the cookie jar, you may give someone the runaround with your goddamn to-do list.

If it’s not a priority get it off the list.

Too many people have lists they’ll never get through because they won’t take the things off it that have been on for too long i.e. the things that are not a priority (that’s why they’re still there).

So I agree, I don’t care.
