Paula Rizzo

I'm always on the hunt to be more productive and looking for some new tip that I haven't heard of yet. Unfortunately, I didn't find it in this book.

Since I'm already a list maker, there really wasn't anything new here. A few resources for online apps and task outsourcing services (most of which I'm already familiar with, and some already out of date since the book is a few years old). Not many actual examples of checklists that one can use as a template to personalize and make their own. The few examples she does include aren't really going to have mass appeal (checklist for a destination wedding, anyone?)

Overall: meh.

Excellent read about using list to do your work for you!
The outsorcing wasn't applicable to me but list breakdown and usage was. Will recommend this read to other listers!

PROS
-Tools to use: Rizzo outlines websites, apps, traditional notebook setup for tools one can use to create lists.
-Review and flexibility: brainstorming, revisiting, rewriting and sorting lists are all encouraged (ultimate to-do list p.42)
-Build better lists (p.44) and daily notes (p.56)
-Team tools break down (p. 61)
-Gift management will probably save my life and make giving easier (p. 92)
-"List of Things to Say If You Meet a Celebrity (p.98) sounds silly but may be helpful to avoid any embarrassing situations.

CONS
-Outsourcing: non applicable for me.
-Time management: I work in a very public space that is often fractured by unpredicted interuptions so blocks of time to assign to tasks....not happening. However being honest with how long a task will take (if uninterupted) is helpful.… (plus d'informations)
