From Mike O'Malley.  This is good advice....

We all have a "to do" list.  What we need is a "not to do list".

We spend a lot of time teaching leaders what to do. We don’t spend
enough time teaching leaders what to stop. Half of all leaders don’t need to
learn what to do. They need to learn what to stop.  

Stopping behavior may be as crucial as everything we do combined yet
stopping rarely gets celebrated in the same way as the things we accomplish.

Stopping gives us time for other things.  It empowers us.  It shows us what doesn't need to get done at all.

What do we over-manage?   What do we need to trust others to do?   What do we hold on to out of pride and fear of letting go?
