About
Photo by: Steve Credo
1. My name is Paula Rizzo and I make lists.
2. I’m incredibly organized and make a list for almost everything I do.
3. This blog will help ANYONE become:
• more organized
• less stressed
• empowered
• more successful
• more efficient
• focused
• productive
4. I’m also an Emmy Award winning producer and attribute much of my success to being organized, prepared and ready for anything. Lists have helped me do this.
5. Currently I’m the senior health producer for FoxNewsHealth.com and so I also care about health and wellness. List making will help you be healthier — I’ll show you how.
6. Making lists help to keep me sane and organized in my home life. Whether its going grocery shopping, looking for an apartment or planning an event — I always have a list.
Paula,
I love this idea. This is the #1 way I get organized around the house and it brings some sanity to my life.

Thanks Joe — I agree! Listing is such a simple task but it really helps so much!
I am also a list person but I’m sure you have some tips I can use. Looking forward to reading!
Wonderful!! I hope I can help and you’ll have to share some of your lists and ideas too!
Paula,
I can’t live without lists either… they keep my projects focused and on track. But there’s always room for improvement so I look forward to your advice!

Glad to see you here — thanks for stopping by!
Hi Paula,
What do you do if you always lose the lists????
Love the blog..and you!!!!!
Thank you!
Oh, that’s a problem! Well I’d say make a central place for all your lists. In a notepad that you keep on your desk, in your pocketbook…wherever you’re likely to find it again. Or make a task list in your cell phone — hopefully you won’t lose that!
How could we ever balance our home lives and our work lives without lists? Great idea – I want tips and lots of them!
Thanks for commenting! Tips are coming — promise!
Paula,
Congrats on the amazing and original blog. It’s absolutely brilliant and really well developed too! I will be following it (and your experiences) constantly! Can’t wait to hear all about your Oprah visit too! Maybe you’ll come back with a car? Who knows!
Thanks Julie for posting a comment and for following! Appreciate it!!
I love making lists too and come from a long line of list makers!! Looking forward to reading.
Thanks for checking it out! I really do think listing is hereditary! My dad is a total list freak. Maybe I’lll blog about it!
Coming from a girl who is flying by the seat of her pants most of the time, your list-making tips are slowly but surely making me aware of the FACT it is not always the best policy to “wing it!”
Haha! Thanks for the comment Colleen. It’s not that I don’t like surprises…I just like to be prepared…
Paula- Lists make all the difference in the world. I have made and used them daily for decades. But now you are taking lists to their rightful noble position. I champion your campaign.
I think it is funny that you won’t do a feature on people who make Lists of Lists (like me!) because it might scare people off. Ha ha ha
I just recommended your wonderful blog to members of my Just Whelmed Wee Weekly Workshop group. They are all VERY BUSY academic women – and they will love knowing about you and what you do. I also gave them a hint about an upcoming teleseminar
Oh how wonderful! Thank you!! Yes — can’t wait for the teleseminar!
I too make lists for everything I do. But I am really happy to see your blog and hope to become more organised by making lists and be more productive in my home life using your tips. Thanks Paula for such a wonderful blog.
Hi Christina –
Please let me know if ever there’s a topic you’d like me to cover.
So glad you found my site! I’m so happy you find it useful and that you’re a crazy list person just like me
It’s wonderful to see that you, too, value list making! I’ve been making lists most of my life to keep me organized and on track. Now I have apps on my phone to organize my priorities and cut down on paper clutter
Thanks for focusing on this important topic.
Gladys — it’s so great to see your comment — thank you! Love that you’re a fellow list maker and you find this blog helpful. What apps have you found work the best for you?
hi Paula!
Greetings from the twitterverse… I saw the kind tweet from Cindy Ratzlaff @BrandYou so found you here as well. Love your concept! I have to say you and my hubs would get along FAMOUSLY …he makes a list for absolutely everything
This is a very good idea and one I do make an effort to implement….will keep reminding myself to follow your lead!
xoxo
