What is the ideal size of a really great To-Do list? Most people who use a To-DO list tend to have a long list of things to do, which may be working against your goals. Why, you may ask? Leo Babuata says , '(To DO list) sucks up your time, and drains your motivation.'

So, what is the alternative?
Two versions of the To-Do list comes to mind:

1. The One Things system.
This is Leo's system, where he recommends focusing on just one thing you are excited about on any particular day.

2. The Three Most important task system.
This one has often been talked about, and in my opinion, is more practical of the two. Basically this option gets you to focus on three most important tasks daily and I see it as a great way to modify all existing forms of To-do lists.

Which one do you like?
