Where Do You Write Your Lists?
Lists help to make you more efficient, save money and time, boost your memory and aid in decision making. But how do you make your lists? I’ve found that doing a combination of things has helped me to be more organized. Maybe it will work for you too.
1. Handwritten: For me, I feel like it’s not really a to-do list unless it’s written out. I also write out my packing lists and my pros v. cons lists. Sometimes I use regular paper or Post-It notes or even fancy pre-made paper from KnockKnockStuff.com. I hand write lists at home and at work. … continue reading.
Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
I’m not a “last minute” type person — but in case you are…here’s a few gift ideas for Mother’s Day. Also –the CEO and Founder of TheGroceryGame.com, Teri Gault, shares a few budget options that will make your mom know you care!
Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
by Teri Gault
Moms really appreciate useful gifts, especially for those things she wouldn’t buy for herself. Fresh cut flowers are nice, but fade and die. Give her something that will last, and that she can enjoy for a long time. Moms also appreciate gifts of time, which is a mother’s love language. So you’ll find some of my recommendations are “handmade” or require a little time. Your gift of time is the best message of love to mom, plus it saves money! … continue reading.
Get Some Time Back and Still Get Things Done
Time…it’s what everyone complains about and what we wish we had more of. But maybe you’re not using your time wisely enough. This quote makes me chuckle,
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
Ha – I’ll tell you who said it in a minute.
TaskRabbit.com is a service that will help you get everything on your to-do list done. I wrote a guest blog for their NYC launch and met with a few of their staffers while they were in town. I have used TaskRabbit to get two projects completed that had been giving me a headache. … continue reading.
How to Make Lists Work For You
One of the things on my to-do list is to write back to readers who e-mail me list-making questions. It’s actually one of my favorite things to do. I recently got an email from Josh and I thought his questions were ones that other people might have as well. Here goes:
I do enjoy making lists and find them helpful. However, one thing that I get stuck with is how to set up my list and how many to make/where to keep them. Do you just use one notebook for all lists? Do you color code? I often find that I get stumped with this step. I want my lists to look presentable and not just write stuff any and everywhere. How do you set yours up? … continue reading.
My Email Inbox Is Overwhelming
Nutdanai Apikhomboonwaroot : FreeDigitalPhotos.net
I get a ridiculous amount of mail to my personal email account everyday. It’s not that I’m that popular — I just like to sign up for newsletters, deals, advertisements, alerts, etc. I think I need to scale back because it’s getting a little much to handle.
Every morning — I sort through no less than 10-15 emails that I’ve gotten early in the morning or the night before while I slept. I delete most of them without ever opening them. These are the coupon codes and “secret” sales for online and brick and mortar stores. I feel like I should keep subscribing to these because you “never know” when you might want a coupon. But really — it’s just crowding up my email box and slowing me down. … continue reading.
List Maker Turns Passion Into Career
Imagine a place filled with lists to help you navigate through anything in your life. Moving, grocery shopping, meal planning — you name it. Well, such a place exists at ListPlanIt.com. It’s a site started by Jennifer Tankersley and you guessed it — she’s this month’s Featured List Producer:
Q: Why do you call yourself a compulsive list producer?
A: I’ve always been a list maker. I’ve used them to set goals, to help me remember important things, and to organize my thoughts. In December of 2006, I had an inspiration. It suddenly occurred to me that a template in list form would be convenient for printing and then using again in the future. Less than 6 months later, ListPlanIt.com was born. ListPlanIt is a website of my creation that contains hundreds (about 700, actually) of lists and planning pages for its members to print, download, type into, and/or save. … continue reading.
