Summary

The simple to-do list can be a mighty productivity tool - after all, you’re 33 percent more likely to do something if you write it down. A list of tasks can help you approach goals in a more intentional way, set the right priorities, and hold yourself accountable. And that can help you achieve more at work and in your career.

Productivity expert Paula Rizzo shows how you can use lists to your maximum advantage. She helps you assess the work you have in front of you and identify how to best spend your time - figuring out what to work on versus what to delegate, what’s important versus what can wait. From evaluating tasks through the lens of your top priorities to embracing your own productivity rhythm and scheduling free time to recharge, her tips will empower you to accomplish more of what’s meaningful.

Key takeaways:

  • The four-step formula for creating a list-making system that will work for your life
  • What a “distraction placeholder” is and how to use it
  • How to find your personal productivity style and use it to schedule your days more effectively
  • Why an accountability buddy can be the secret to getting things done
  • How to stay productive when working in a group
  • What a “to become” list is and how it helps you envision your dream life

Paula Rizzo is the best-selling author of Listful Living: A List-Making Journey to a Less Stressed You and Listful Thinking: Using Lists to Be More Productive, Successful, and Less Stressed. She is an Emmy Award-winning television producer of more than 20 years and a media strategist and trainer. She also founded the productivity site ListProducer.com and cocreated Lights Camera Expert, an online course geared toward helping entrepreneurs, authors, and experts get media attention.

Quick and Easy Lists

A lot of it was common sense, or stuff I was already aware of, but it was great having a reminder to do it as I haven't bothered lately, and I have noticed a slump in my productivity. So getting back on track, with this advice, will definitely help me to refocus and get the best out of my time, without wasting time 😊

Great Audio for List Lovers

I really enjoyed this audio. I'm a list lover but definitely needed to know a better way to put the lists together and to use my time in a better way

Relevance

Performance and presentation was fine but the subject is not relevant to the average person. More relevant to self employed and not realistic to the average employed person

Waste of Time

This was utterly useless. The narrators voice is intolerable and I really struggled to finish this even though it's only half an hour long!
Seriously, here is a concise summary of this audiobook:

*Make a list
*Continuously repetitive rants about the author's sense of self importance because she was a television producer and won an Emmy.
*Rants about the author's apartment in New York.
*Lists are great. You should make lists.
*Categorise your lists.
*If you make a list and decide that you don't want to do something because it doesn't make you happy, then don't do it.
*Make a list.
