#130-10 Ways to Optimize Your To-Do List
Episode description
If you’ve been following Persistence Playbook for a while, you know one thing about Brett McDermott: he doesn’t just like a good list; he believes in mastering it.
This week, we’re getting intentional about something that’s easy to overcomplicate: your to-do list. And no, this isn’t about color-coding sticky notes or downloading another app. This is about how entrepreneurs can quietly rewire the way they move through their day with clarity, momentum, and more energy left over than they started with.
In just 10 shifts, Brett breaks down how to:
– Structure your daily tasks around how you work best (not just when),
– Build a system that doesn’t just track your output, but actually improves it,
– And rethink the way you approach delegation, decision fatigue, and daily wins.
...And yes, some of these you’ve probably tried before but not like this. Because it’s not just about doing more. It’s about doing what matters, when it matters most and knowing exactly when to call it a win. So if your to-do list is starting to feel more like a guilt trip than a strategy, this one’s for you.
