About this listen
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.

Story
It’s hard to come up with a big idea - but it doesn’t have to be. Because great ideas don’t come from the inside-out - they come from the outside-in. The good stuff is out there, waiting. We just have to know how to see it. And in our fast-changing work world, this might be the most useful skill our teams can have.

The value of these skills in the workplace is inescapable. In this workshop, Jay Wright, head coach of the Villanova University basketball team, shares his vision of what teamwork means and highlights three audiobooks that helped shape his approach.
