# Marc Andreessen - Guide to Personal Productivity (Highlights) ![rw-book-cover|256](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/article4.6bc1851654a0.png) ## Highlights - Let's start with a bang: **don't keep a schedule**. - I mean: refuse to commit to meetings, appointments, or activities at any set time in any future day. - you can always **work on whatever is most important or most interesting**, at any time. - Keep three and only three lists: a Todo List, a Watch List, and a Later List. - Each night before you go to bed, prepare a 3x5 index card with a short list of 3 to 5 things that you will do the next day. - **use the back of the 3x5 card as your Anti-Todo List**. - you should never fight the tendency to procrastinate -- instead, you should use it to your advantage in order to get other things done. - While you're procrastinating, just do lots of other stuff instead.
