If you’re a list maker like me — do your lists work for you or do they drive you crazy? If they’re making you nuts — don’t give up…there are things you can do so your lists will make you more productive.

If you don’t make lists but would like to — I can show you how to do it effectively. Having a well-written list is like having a road map to accomplish your goals. It’s very important to be realistic and specific.

I’d like to help everyone learn how to better use lists to serve his or her life. Making lists will help you become more efficient and focused in all areas of your life. Whether it be grocery shopping, finishing projects or finding a new home — a list will help you accomplish your goals.

So I’m teaming up with Meggin McIntosh, Ph.D. — the “Ph.D. of Productivity” — for a teleseminar, January 12, 2012 at 6pm Eastern. You can sign up here and join in on the call-in event. If you can’t make it at that time — sign up anyway and an MP3 of the call will be sent to you afterwards.

It’s a free event and you’ll learn:

Why list making is essential to success in all areas of life – personal and professional.
What kinds of lists (and yes, there are different kinds) need to be part of your Keeping-Chaos-at-Bay toolkit.
Strategies for effective list making at home, at work, and just about anywhere.
How to make various kinds of lists work for you.
How to make difficult decisions using a list.
Where to make your lists so they don’t get lost or unused (useful apps, websites, list paper, etc).

Hope you’ll join me for this exciting teleseminar!

Imagine if you could add a few minutes to your day. Think about all the things you could accomplish — meet with friends, write more blogs, throw a dinner party, etc. We are all guilty of wasting time every now and then. But one of the things that I’ve perfected over the years is really focusing when I need to get tasks accomplished. It’s very hard to be disciplined enough — but it is possible.

Being more productive doesn’t require adding more time on the clock — you just have to change the way you think and alter some of your techniques. Want some examples? Read “Rewire Your Time” in Women’s Health Australia. I was interviewed along with a few other women who make the most of their time to get more done!

I’d love to hear what you think of the article. I’m basically famous down in Oz! haha — ok, not really, but this is what I’m telling myself. I’m excited to share this with you.

For months and months I’ve been complaining that my bedroom is a wreck. Jay and I have collected a hodge podge of furniture through the years and that basically results in a bedroom that looks like a college dorm. Our living room couch is also pretty uncomfortable so we’ve been meaning to replace it. So we finally decided to go furniture shopping. I used this checklist of course because as you know — I don’t do anything without a list!

1. Know What You Need: With all the furniture that we’ve acquired we’ve also gotten used to having a lot of extra space for our clothes. This is very important when you’re looking for new furniture – you must have a clear picture of what kind of space and storage you will need. Read more

Just the other day my friend Danielle and I went to brunch at Spoon in NYC and it was delicious! I had yummy baked eggs in a skillet and a spicy Bloody Mary. I would recommend it if you’re in New York. Anyway — we checked in using Foursquare to see if there were any deals. In fact, there was a discount of $10 off when you spend $10! Score! Or so we thought… Read more
