In response to a question about failing to complete to-do lists, Acharya Prashant explains that the solution is to write the right things in the list. He states that the reason a to-do list often goes unattended is because it is full of worthless tasks. If none of the tasks are something you can love to complete, it means love is missing. Consequently, you find excuses to avoid these tasks and are forced to use willpower to complete just enough to get by, which he likens to achieving "passing marks." This creates a continuous, repeating loop. The speaker clarifies that the problem is not an absence of willpower or motivation, but rather not knowing which tasks are truly worth taking up. He advises that when you assign a task to yourself, you must ask if it is important. If it is not, you should be bold enough to simply omit it or strike it out. If a task is indeed important, he suggests you should sit with it for a few minutes to appreciate its importance. You should ask yourself, "Why is this thing important? What does it give to me? What does it turn me into? How does it help me, raise me, strengthen me, purify me?" Acharya Prashant asserts that if you have good answers to these questions, it becomes impossible to avoid that task. The problem lies not in a lack of willpower, but in a lack of understanding and realization. He gives the example of a sick family member, where you don't need external motivation to call an ambulance because you realize its importance and act spontaneously. He points out that many people are in situations, like their course of study, without knowing why, often due to external factors like their rank or a pre-set schedule. This lack of a relationship, or "love," for the task is the root cause of inaction. He concludes that when you know *why* you should be doing something, the *how* becomes clear, and inspiration arises naturally. The task is no longer external but becomes your own, something you love and want to do. He advises spending time with your to-do list, daring to cross out unimportant items, and committing your effort, heart, and everything to the few important tasks that remain.
