๐ต Drains and Incompletions

Incompletions are the items on your to-do list that you have not yet completed. They are related to work and personal items (responding to a simple email, or it can be a dream you keep putting off).

1. Deal with the items on your list of unfinished business: assign or outsource them, determine if you lack the necessary resources and, if so, how you'll locate them, and stop waiting for the "ideal" time because of perfectionism.
2. Address the drains by establishing clear guidelines for your availability and changing how you spend your time (for example, find a way to make your commute more enjoyable). You should also create time limits for the drains that have the potential to absorb your day.
