Topping Everyone’s Bucket List Is….

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A few weeks ago I teamed up with skinnyscoop.com to do a Bucket list contest. Now the results from the competition are in! The winner of the contest has been notified but the fun doesn’t stop there.  I wanted to share the top ten items from everyone’s list:

Bucket List Results

So what do you think? Are these items on your bucket list too? To help your goals become a reality I recommend starting with a vision board.

It’s helpful to think about what you want from the upcoming year and specific goals you have in mind. I included Venice on my vision board last year and I got to go there in March. So start planning to make your bucket list dreams come to life in 2015!

List Maker’s Hall of Fame: Bucket Lists

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

Paula's Bucket List Making a bucket list is one of the easiest lists to make. You know yourself better than anyone and it’s fun to day dream and work towards that goal one day. As my favorite lady Oprah says “you become what you believe.” So once you put it down on paper — you are one step closer to your goal. It’s one of the first lists I tell non-list makers to put together.

I’m sharing my bucket list today in hopes that you will share yours too! I’m introducing a new contest called the “List Maker’s Hall of Fame!” Once a month I will announce a new list category. Then a winner will be chosen at random and you will be featured on ListProducer.com and all of my social media outlets. I may ask you a question or two about your list as well once you win, 🙂

Smartphones are one of the best tools busy people have at their fingertips. Using my iPhone is like a lifeline.  Sometimes I don’t know how I went grocery shopping or caught a bus without it! This tool is especially useful for moms — juggling it all!

I’ve tried many apps and have written about Astrid in the past because it’s such a spectacular to-do list app. The most unique thing about the Astrid app is that you can share your lists.  My friends and I share lists of things we have to remember to tell each other.  It’s great for making the most of our visits.

Astrid is doing a bit of sharing itself.  They’ve just announced a contest for moms!  All you have to do is use the app and tell them why you love it.  How has it made you more productive, successful and efficient? They are giving away gifts like spa certificates, onesies and premium accounts to the best answers.
