Ever wish there were more hours in the day? The problem might be you’re not using the hours you have in the most efficient way. I’ve got a fix for this and I put it all together in a productivity course I’ve done with PopExpert.com.

Since starting this blog I’ve realized — I’m not alone in this list making thing. There are many other notable list makers out there to learn from. Each month I’ll be featuring a successful “list producer” to prove that list making will help you to achieve more in life.
My very first featured “list producer” is Chris Kilham — better known as the Medicine Hunter. Chris travels all over the world looking for natural remedies and healing plants.
