I have made my to-do list the same way for quite a long time because it works really well for me.

I make a daily list every night before I leave my desk. I think about everything that needs to happen the next day, and I write down everything I have the time and the resources to do. 

I’ve written two books on list making: Listful Thinking and Listful Living. And I even have a LinkedIn Learning Course outlining my methods.

I even got to meet Betty White once!

She was promoting The Proposal and I was working as a producer at Fox News. When my co-workers and I heard she’d be in the building, we stalked her in the green room. One of the anchors saw us and said, “You have to be in the segment!” We were wearing “Stay Golden” t-shirts as you can see.

And senior ladies are having a major moment right now with coastal grandma style trending. But older women have way more to offer than great TV and cool style…

Picture this: it’s 11 a.m. and you’re feeling a little grumbly after an early breakfast. You’re working from home, so you wander into the kitchen and eat a handful of chips.

You make a quick and boring sandwich for lunch. An hour later, you’re hungry again, and you snack on some candy this time. Dinnertime rolls around, and you’re too tired to cook.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
