Part 5/8:
Berkman proposes a more structured approach: maintain an open and closed list. Capture everything you desire in life on the open list, while transferring three to five prioritized goals onto the closed list. The catch is that you commit to focusing solely on these closed-list objectives, granting permission to abandon the open list until you complete or dismiss one from your closed list. This method dramatically reduces decision fatigue and procrastination, clearing the mind for focused action on what truly matters.
