I’m excited to announce that in December I’ll be offering a productivity course called “Listful Thinking” on PopExpert.com. Pop Expert creates online video workshops to help you live a more fulfilling and connected life.

I had such a blast shooting this course in September with the Pop Expert team. We filmed in a fabulous loft in Brooklyn and spent a whole day talking lists and productivity. It didn’t feel like work at all! Read more

As you probably know — my book “Listful Thinking: Using Lists to be More Productive, Highly Successful and Less Stressed” is coming out on January 13, 2015.

To be honest I’m quite nervous! I can’t believe the thing I’ve been working on for so long is going to be available for all the world to see.

I’m sure some of you reading this may also have dreamed about writing a book, or wondered what it would be like to be part of a book launch. Read more

How to Live A Grateful Life

November 4, 2014/0 Comments/in Books, Happiness, People, Reduce Stress, Relationships, Tool for Success/by Paula Rizzo

I love anything about sharing, gratitude and happiness. It just puts you in a better mood and makes the impossible seem so much easier. It’s why “The Secret” is one of my favorite books and I often write about keeping a gratitude journal. I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to Gratitude and Happiness!

Obviously I was excited to read The Grateful Life, the 3rd book in a trilogy by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons. It’s an anthology of stories on gratitude, which encourages you to be thankful for what you have in you life right now. I personally find that when you are grateful for what you have, you get more and more of what you love. The authors open the book with a very good point: “Whatever your goal may be, nothing happens until you take action.” So it’s not like you can just ask for whatever you want and wait til it happens — there’s still some work involved.

Can you do me a favor?

I really can’t stop smiling because we are literally weeks away from a big dream of mine coming true. Publishing a book has been a note on my bucket list since I was a little girl. So it’s hard to believe that it’s actually happening and my book, “Listful Thinking: Using Lists to be More Productive, Highly Successful and Less Stressed” is going to be coming out in January. But it hasn’t been an easy road.

It’s difficult to write a book and there are so many to-do’s to check off on the journey to publishing.

You need:

Great ideas
Time to write
Creativity
Time to rewrite
More time to rewrite
A great publisher
A wonderful agent
Patience

That last bit has been the hardest for me. This is a culture of instant gratification and I admit I thrive on it. I’m in the news business after all — the ultimate quick fix. So it’s been a little difficult at times to just sit back and let things happen with this book. But I’m working on it!

But here’s the good news –you don’t have to wait until January because you can pre-order the book right now! See — instant gratification! Pre-orders are a big deal in the publishing world and so I’d appreciate it if you did it. Better yet — buy a few copies if you want to get your holiday shopping out of the way!

Use “Listful Thinking” to learn how to:

Save time
Be more organized
Be more productive
Save money
Reduce stress

I even designed a brand new website just for info about the book at ListfulThinkingBook.com. Thanks for checking it out!
