Nothing is impossible the word itself says I'm possible.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Hustle beats talent when talent doesn’t hustle.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

If you’re going through hell, keep going.

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

THE ONES WHO NEVER FOLLOWED THE RULES


At the end of your day, ask yourself 3 questions:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">What did I plan to do but didn’t?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Why didn’t I do it?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">What did I do instead?</li></ol>That’s it.You now have a mirror, not a scoreboard.It reveals your patterns, emotional states, fears, energy dips, and real desires; not just what your planner says.

What Is the Anti-To-Do List?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">It exposes your real priorities, not just the pretty ones you wrote down.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It destroys the illusion of productivity.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It identifies repeat offenders. Tasks you keep skipping for a reason.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">It creates honesty, not guilt.</li></ul>

Why It Works

Here are some ways to apply the Anti To Do List to your daily life:

12 Smart Ways to Use the Anti-To-Do List

Memory fades. Capture avoidance in real-time.

1. Log it daily, not weekly

Were you tired? Anxious? Avoidant? Emotions are data.

2. Add your emotional state

Work, Health, Learning, PersonalPatterns live in the types.

3. Categorize your skipped tasks

This isn’t a punishment. You’re observing, not judging.

4. Zero blame allowed

Sometimes the “distraction” is more honest than the original goal.

5. Track what replaced it

If it keeps showing up, either break it down or drop it.

6. Watch for stuck tasks

Use what you skipped today to design what you’ll actually do tomorrow.

7. Link to tomorrow’s plan

It slows you down and makes reflection deeper.

8. Write by hand

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Red = emotional block</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Yellow = external interference</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Blue = poor planning</li></ul>The visual cues tell stories.

9. Color code

“Why am I avoiding this?” or “Do I even want this?” opens clarity.

10. End with a question

Look at 5–7 days together. The pattern will slap you in the face.

11. Weekly review

Accountability kills avoidance. Gently.

12. Share with someone

Planned: Write Medium articleDidn’t do: YesWhy: Felt insecure about my ideasDid instead: Watched 3 YouTube videos on “how to be productive”Emotion: AnxiousNext Step: Set timer for 10 minutes tomorrow. Write without judging

🧾 Example Entry:

The Anti-To-Do List is not a list of failures.It’s a list of insight.It tells you where your friction lives.It exposes the gap between intention and action.Start tonight.Skip the guilt. Skip the fluff.Track what you didn’t do and take the power back.You’ll be shocked at what your avoidance has been trying to teach you.

🔁 Final Thought

To improve it, you must first measure it.

We’re all addicted to To-Do Lists. Wake up. List. Check. Repeat. But how often do we actually finish what we plan? Let’s be rea;  half the time, we just feel productive writing the list. And then avoid the actual work. That’s where the Anti-To-Do List comes in. This isn't about quitting. It’s about clarity. Instead of logging what you did, you track what you didn’t. And most importantly, why you didn’t.

The Anti-To-Do List Method No One Talks About

I fell flat twice.Four years ago, I launched my first blog. I was sure it would set me free. But it got zero clicks and replies, and it shattered my ego . At the time, I blamed the algorithm. But I didn’t know what I was doing.This January, I was confident. My newsletter was taking off, with more than 3K subscribers, and I found a job I loved as a web developer. I invested all my time in those two passions, and I was ready for the upgrade. But it never showed up.

Failing in Life

My efforts only met silence, but I finally saw the pattern. I was betting outside of my circle of competence, and my skills never improved!So, I drew a circle. I cut through the noise and drilled down to the core skills of becoming a better writer and web developer. Today, I doubled my paid subscribers and had some sponsors. I also became a better developer — I work with a new client, and my managers respect me more.I had to put in the effort. I had to draw my circle of competence and focus on that. But it worked. So, let me show you how to draw your circle before the next flop gets to you.

Drilling Down Your Skills

Is success about talent or knowing when talent ends? I tried to answer that question many times, but the edges were very blurry.Some have great talent and will start with an advantage. But <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/the-power-of-grit">talent alone makes you weak </a>. It allows you to think you have more time than others. And they will catch up fast.Once talent’s gone, two things will define your career:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The circle of competence is the set of skills you can prove on demand.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The circle of incompetence is every skill you haven’t mastered yet.</li></ul>

The Two Career Circles (1)

When your circle of competence aligns with your projects, you will succeed. But if they misalign, you will have a hard time getting ahead. And that’s what was happening with my projects.I was trying to become a writer, but I didn’t know how to write a good copy. I was trying to become a senior developer, but I didn’t have the set of skills that would allow me to do that. My circle of competence never aligned with my project, and that caused many failures on my path.But why did I step outside of my circle of confidence? And why you might do it too?

The Two Career Circles (2)

You're reading an excerpt from The Challenge — a weekly newsletter dedicated to self-improvement, goal-setting, habits, time management, and health tips.Every week, you'll receive:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">A life-enhancing challenge</li><li class="ql-align-justify">A custom infographic to track your progress.</li></ul>Join 4100+ driven individuals and take your first challenge.

The Challenge

Stepping out of our circle of competence is a common behavior. We can use the Dunning-Kruger curve to explain why this happens.Psychologists David Dunning and Justing Kruger found that people who scored in the bottom quarter on tests of logic, grammar, and humor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect">rated themselves far above average </a>. Their incompetence stole the skills and self-awareness they needed to notice the gap.

The Dunning-Kruger Curve (1)

But the curve bends the other way, too. Top performers often under-rate themselves. They assume everyone else sees the game as clearly as they do. The result is a confidence seesaw — beginners are too confident, experts second-guess, and both groups score beyond the edge. Work culture also magnifies the bias.

The Dunning-Kruger Curve (2)

Promotions reward noise and visibility, not quiet and mastery. Social feeds flash overnight wins instead of the ten-year grinds. And a little praise from your boss can make you feel more skilled, even if you’re not.Unless you build a habit of brutal feedback, the curve keeps tricking you. It whispers that you’re ready for a leap you haven’t trained for yet. And you jump before the ground appears.You need to be aware of what you control. But what do you control?

Why do we step outside of the circle?

You can’t control anything outside of your circle of competence — deal with it. But most times, you don’t even know what sits inside your circle of competence. So, let’s make an exercise to discover it.Grab a blank page or open a whiteboard. Then, draw two circles, one inside the other.

The Circle of Competence

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Skills you can prove — the code you write or the copy that you sell (for example).</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Effort you control — the hours you block and the habits you track.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The attitude you choose — the way you handle issues and feedback.</li></ul>

The Inner Loop — Your Circle of Competence

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Market shifts — new frameworks or platforms that arise.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">People’s opinion — who likes whom this week.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">New tempting trends — AI tools, viral design style, etc.</li></ul>

The Outer Loop — Your Circle of Incompetence

Sometimes, splitting between those two circles can be difficult. It’s not always that simple. So, put every item you can’t label inside a box. If you cannot test or measure it next week, push it to the outer loop. Otherwise, you have control over it. So, you can pull it in the circle of competence.

The Insecurity Box

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">List every recurring task for the past month.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Drop each task into the inner or outer circle.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Write tasks in a separate box if you can’t figure out where they belong.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Give yourself a week to track those uncertain tasks . If you can influence them, they are in your circle of competence.</li></ol>You can ignore everything outside of your circle of competence and use the free hours for your deliberate practice inside the inner loop.But how do I grow? If you only focus on your circle of competence, you will never experiment with new trends. And you might be right. So, let’s see how you can expand the edge.

Exercise Recap

The whole point of the circles of competence and incompetence is to make you grow safely, not keep you stale.Dreaming is a good thing. We all have our dreams and aspirations. But many times, we project those dreams into our reality too fast when we’re not ready. And reality crushes both you and your dreams.We want to avoid that. So, we must take a safer approach. First, we understand what is in our circle of competence and master that. Then, we can expand our edges and incorporate some of the skills we couldn’t control before. Here’s how you can do it with the skill-building playbook.

How to Expand the Edge (Safely)

Picture yourself in the middle of a board with many skills around you. Some of them will be closer, while others will be far away. Some will fall into your circle of competence, while others will stay out of it.As you master each skill, y our circle of competence will expand in that direction, including other abilities you could master. So, the only way to reach rare skills is to focus in one direction.However, beware of practice without feedback. You might solidify mistakes if you don’t test what you’ve learned.

The Skill-Building Playbook

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">The 5-Hour Rule: Master skills in your circle of competence for 5 hours a week, one each day.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The Adjacent-Skill Rule : Pick new skills to master on the edge of your circle of competence.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The Outreachables Rule : Don’t lose time on skills that are across the board in your current circle of incompetence.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The Planning Rule : Instead, plan your path to get there. Research where you should expand your mastery to reach those skills.</li></ol>Planning your path is a skill in itself. And as you master it, you can make mistakes and overestimate your mastery. So, how do you deal with that?

Playbook Rules

We are eager for new promotions. We want fast success. We think we can handle it. But sometimes, you might be too good at marketing yourself. Sometimes, you will get promotions and fall into your circle of incompetence.I had a colleague who was so confident I thought we knew everything. And he got that promotion — he became one of my managers. But he wasn’t ready. Every day, he would call me and another guy, asking us to explain things he had known the day before.A few months later, we missed two releases. Our client wanted a management change, so he got fired.

How to Spot the Cliffs

According to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle">Peter Principle </a>, people in an organization will get promotions until they are no longer qualified (a.k.a, they reach their circle of incompetence). So, when you get a promotion, you should aim at two things:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">having the required skills already</li><li class="ql-align-justify">or for those new skills to be on the edge of your circle of competence.</li></ul>You want the growth to happen, but it shouldn’t crush you. So, if you’re not sure, you better not take that opportunity. It will come back to you next year if you deserve it. And if it won’t, it means you weren’t as ready as your boss thought.

The Peter Principle

Here’s a list of warning signs you're not ready for the next step.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Constant context-switching — ten tabs, zero flow.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Rising error count.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You skim docs you once devoured.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Your calendar fills with work you can’t explain in one sentence.</li></ul>If two or more flash red, you’re near the edge.

Early Warning Signs List

My first blog hit zero clicks. My first experience as a team leader didn't get me a promotion. But I didn’t give up.Both flops came from swinging outside my circle of competence. And once I drew the line, everything shifted. Paid subscribers climbed. My bosses see my value more. And I am surrounded by positive vibes.So, guard your inner circle and ignore the noise. Expand your edges with deliberate practice and constant feedback, one step at a time. Do that, and each leap will land on solid ground — no more silent launches or stalled promotions.

The Challenge of The Week

Draw your circles of competence and incompetence. Put every task you don’t know how to rank in a separate box and test it for the next week.

The Secret

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

In high-stakes environments, complexity feels like control.But top performers know the real edge comes from eliminating friction. The fewer moving parts in your productivity system, the more mental clarity you unlock for deep, meaningful work.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Complexity creates friction, not leverage.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Simpler systems reduce cognitive overload.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Clarity thrives in constraint, not excess.</li></ul>

Simplicity Is the Strategy, Not the Sacrifice

We’ve been sold the myth that complicated productivity systems mean we’re doing serious work.In reality, every added tool/app is another point of failure.Productivity systems should reduce chaos, not require a second job to maintain.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">New tools create too many options for our minds.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Learning curves slow momentum.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Complex productivity systems introduce unnecessary drag.</li></ul>

The Complexity Trap Is Real (and Costly)

Trying to manage information and tasks in one tool is like using a hammer for surgery.They serve fundamentally different functions and require distinct mental modes.Clear separation clears your mind.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Notes are reference, tasks are execution.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Context-rich knowledge requires depth.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Actions thrive on speed and decisiveness.</li></ul>

You Must Separate Knowledge from Tasks

Most busy professionals bury their best ideas in digital junk drawers.A tool like Heptabase helps you evolve raw notes into connected, strategic thinking that compounds over time, like intellectual capital.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Visual connections reveal hidden insights.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Long-term value grows through iteration.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">A knowledge base enables deeper decisions.</li></ul>

Heptabase: Information Is an Asset, Not Just Archive

Tasks aren’t static.They emerge, evolve, and expire.Managing them well requires tools and habits that respect this lifecycle; otherwise, your to-do list becomes a graveyard of intentions.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Tasks need deadlines, energy cues, priorities.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Task Management systems must support daily triage.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Capture is just the start; execution and completion, the win.</li></ul>

Todoist: Task Management Requires Lifecycle Thinking

You don’t need more hours: you need better allocation.Without time blocking and planning, even the best productivity systems collapse into reactive chaos.Time is your operating system, not a background tool.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Time isn't flexible: it’s absolute.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Scheduling converts intent into output.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Unplanned work always becomes urgent work.</li></ul>

Sunsama: Time Is the Scarce Resource You’re Ignoring

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.”

Calendars track constraints.Planners orchestrate action.When you confuse the two, meetings take over and real work gets squeezed into the margins.Respect both, but use each for what it’s meant for.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Constraints are non-negotiable.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Freedom lives in the white space.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Planning protects your most important work.</li></ul>

Calendars Aren’t Planners: Stop Confusing Them

Assigning work to specific time slots forces clarity: what gets done, when, and why.It kills wishful thinking and creates a rhythm that compounds progress, day by day.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Turns a list into a commitment.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reduces the burden of choice.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Aligns effort with available energy.</li></ul>

Time Blocking Creates Execution Momentum

Productivity isn’t about picking the “best” tool: it’s about how tools talk to each other. When Heptabase, Todoist, and Sunsama are connected via a tailored productivity system, you build a frictionless flow from idea to execution.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Capture links knowledge to action.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Planning embeds tasks into time.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reference lives one click away from output.</li></ul>

Integration Is the Real Superpower

When your productivity system becomes background noise, your focus shifts where it should be: on doing the work.Simplicity isn’t minimalism: it’s strategic clarity that fuels sustainable performance.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Reduces switching and decision fatigue.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Frees cognitive space for Deep Work.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Keeps execution smooth and scalable.</li></ul>

From Chaos to Clarity: How Professionals Use Heptabase, Todoist, and Sunsama to Perform at Their Peak Every Day

The human brain is not set in stone - it has the amazing ability to change and adapt. This is called neuroplasticity.To "re-wire" your brain, you just need to give it specific signals through repeated thinking and actions. This allows you to reshape your mind.It's never too late to change your ways and unlock new potential!

Your Brain Is Changeable

"To truly change is to think greater than your environment." Lasting transformation starts when you stop reacting to the external and start leading from within.- Focus on your internal growth rather than your external circumstances. - Take control of your thoughts and actions to create desired change. - Believe in your own ability to overcome challenges.

Think Beyond the Environment

Did you know that learning something new physically changes your brain? When we learn something, new connections are formed between our neurons. This makes the learning experience become embedded in our brains so choose what you focus on wisely #mindsetshift

Neurons That Fire Together, Wire Together

"If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself." Change begins when you stop repeating the past through your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.If you're tired of the same old results, it's time to change your habits. Start by changing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Here's how:<ul><li>Recognize harmful thoughts and replace them with more positive ones.</li><li>Identify negative emotions and find healthy ways to cope with them.</li><li>Adopt new behaviors and let go of old unhealthy habits.</li></ul>

Break the Habit of Being Yourself

"We are not doomed by our genes. We are capable of changing our genetic destiny."Your choices influence gene expression. You hold more power over your biology than you think.

You're Not Doomed by Your Genes

Our thoughts are like words in the mind, while feelings express emotions through our body. It's important to know this connection, as it can help us better understand and improve our emotional well-being.Here are some key concepts to keep in mind:<ul><li>Thoughts and feelings are connected and influence each other</li><li>Negative thoughts can trigger negative feelings</li><li>Positive thoughts can lead to positive feelings</li><li>By becoming aware of our thoughts and feelings, we can learn to manage and improve them</li><li>Simple strategies such as mindfulness and positive self-talk can help us upgrade our emotional lives</li></ul>

Connecting Thoughts and Feelings

- Chronic stress can lead to chronic illness- Our bodies are constantly trying to fight stress, which prevents growth and health- Healing begins by creating a safe and present environment

The Impact of Chronic Stress on Health

"Your personality consists of your thoughts, actions, and emotions."You have the power to change your reality by altering your recurring mental and emotional behaviors. Follow these:<ol><li>Understand your personality: Recognize your thought patterns, actions, and emotions to identify areas for improvement.</li><li>Shift your mindset: Change your perspective, beliefs, and self-talk to create a more positive reality.</li><li>Modify your actions: Take intentional actions that align with your desired reality.</li><li>Manage your emotions: Learn to regulate and express your emotions in a healthy way to promote personal growth.</li></ol>

Personality Shapes Reality

According to neuroscience, the more you think about something, the more real it becomes. This is because repetition strengthens neuro-connections in our brain. It is up to us whether we choose to focus on negative or positive thoughts, as these are the ones that will grow.<ul><li>Repetition makes things seem more real</li><li>Negative or positive—our thoughts determine what becomes stronger</li></ul>

Repetition Builds Reality

Our thoughts can shape our reality. The brain can't tell the difference between what's real and imagined, so why not use it to our advantage?By visualizing success, we can wire our brain for achievement and increase our chances of success. It's like a mental rehearsal, preparing our mind and body for success. Picture yourself succeeding, imagine the feeling of accomplishment, and get your brain ready for the real deal.

Mental Rehearsal: The Secret to Success

When we learn, we create new connections in the brain. It's like planting new seeds that allow us to grow and transform. So, if we want to change, we need to feed our brain with the right knowledge.Embrace learning, explore different perspectives, and take action. It all starts with knowledge.<ul><li> Knowledge combined with action equals transformation Learn new things every day</li><li>Explore different opinions and ideas</li><li>Implement what you have learned into your actions</li></ul>

Knowledge Starts Change

Why do we keep getting the same jobs, taking on the same relationships, and finding ourselves in the same emotional traps? Dr. Joe Dispenza not only teaches why people tend to repeat the same negative behaviors, he shows how readers can release themselves from these patterns of disappointment. With the dynamic combination of science and accessible how-to, Dispenza teaches how to use the most important tool in ones body and life—the brain. Featured in the underground smash hit of 2004, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," Dispenza touched upon the brain's ability to become addicted to negative emotions. Now, in his empowering book Evolve Your Brain he explains how new thinking and new beliefs can literally rewire one's brain to change behavior, emotional reactions, and habit forming patterns. Most people are unaware of how addicted they are to their emotions, and how the brain perpetuates those addictions automatically. In short, we become slaves to our emotional addictions without even realizing it. By observing our patterns of thought, and learning how to 're-wire the brain' with new thought patterns, we can break the cycles that keep us trapped and open ourselves to new possibilities for growth, happiness and emotional satisfaction. Key Features <ul> <li>A radical approach to changing addictive patterns and bad habits.</li> <li>Based on more than twenty years of research.</li> <li>Bridges the gap between science, spirituality and self-help—a formula that has proven success.</li> <li>Easy to understand and written for the average reader. </li> </ul>
