Will you join my virtual flash mob? (There’s a freebie in it for you!)

thunderclapHave you ever heard of a flash mob?  It’s where a bunch of people get together in an unlikely place (like a mall or Times Square) and start doing a choreographed routine.  Usually it’s to the surprise and sometimes horror of others around them.  Sounds fun, huh?   I’ve never actually been in one but I think it could be a fun bucket list item one day.   In the meantime — I hope you’ll help me with this virtual flash mob of sorts I’m putting together to promote my book, Listful Thinking: Using Lists to be More Productive, Highly Successful and Less Stressed.

I’m testing out this new site called ThunderClap.it, which allows you to write a message and have people sign up to share it all at the same time.  See — kind of like a flash mob. Read more

As many of you who follow this blog know — I always start my holiday shopping in August. And I remind everyone to do the same because it just makes us less stressed once the actual holidays come around.

However, I have a confession to make – I have not bought one single gift yet! Not one!

We’re closing in on the week before Thanksgiving and I’m sort of in a panic. I think that the reason this is happening is because I’m a little bit preoccupied with the excitement of my book Listful Thinking coming out in January and I’m putting together my VIP Launch Team (which I’m still accepting applications for until November 24) and I just have let my usual plan for getting stuff done slip through the cracks.
