effective techniques for making lists to get more done
what kind of lists have worked best for me
how lists help people in all professions be more productive and efficient
my favorite list-making apps
questions from listeners
and so much more!

In case you missed it, click here to sign up for a copy of the recording and listen to it whenever you get a chance. I’ve also created a special tab called “teleseminar” at the top of my site. Here you’ll find every blog post, app, website and technique I mentioned on the call. I hope this information is useful and I’d love to hear what you think of it! Happy list making!
