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.

I’m a proud productivity nerd. I can’t help it — it’s who I am and I embrace it. I make lists and get a real sense of joy from crossing off items. But it’s those lists that help me to stay on track and be productive. I’m not alone in this compulsive habit but there are other tactics for getting more done.

I was lucky enough to share some of my own tips with WomansDay.com for the article “8 Habits of Highly Productive People.” Check out the article for some other fabulous secrets from some very knowledgeable experts.

One of my favorites is to snack! That’s right — eating will increase your productivity. I’ve never thought of it really but I’m useless unless I’ve eaten. It totally affects my mind. I’m very regular when it comes to my eating habits – I eat three meals and have two snacks during the day. If I don’t — my day is totally thrown off. Ask my co-workers…they know when I haven’t had my snacks! haha! Making sure you eat regularly is a very easy way to stay productive. Give it a try and take a look at some of the other great ideas in the article.
