About this listen
Learn: Why most people fail at getting things done!
Are you creating to-do lists that never get to-done? It's easy to start each workday with a lengthy list of tasks. Then something unexpected comes up. Next thing you know, the day is almost over. You work hard at a frantic pace, but you end up feeling frustrated because there's not enough time to do everything.
We all write lists with the hope that they will turn us into productivity machines. Sadly, to-do lists often have the opposite effect. The wrong type of list can be de-motivating, causing you to slack off and procrastinate. Discover how to create to-do lists that are both actionable and doable!
The truth is anyone can write a list. The hard part is creating a list that's actionable and also fits into your busy life. More often than not, people fill their lists with a disorganized mess of tasks, wants, needs, and random ideas. Then they sit around and wonder why they're not getting significant results in their lives.
What's the solution?
Rethink the way you manage your daily life.
Specifically, you should use multiple lists that cover different types of task. That's the core concept you'll learn in the following book.
"To-Do List Makeover" provides a step-by-step blueprint for writing effective, actionable lists. You will learn:
- 7 Common To-Do List Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)
- The Number-One Tool for Capturing Ideas
- How to Use a Project List to Identify Critical Tasks
- When to Work on Routine, Daily Activities
- Why the Weekly Review Helps You Get Things Done
- THE App for Managing To-Do Lists
- How to Complete Your THREE Important Tasks Every Day
- 8 Steps for Achieving Peak Results
- How to Take Action (Even If You’re not Motivated)

Simply put: If you're someone who procrastinates, then this bad habit is limiting your success in a variety of ways. If you don't address this issue, then you'll reduce the likelihood that you'll achieve your major goals. That's why it's critical that you focus on eliminating your procrastination tendencies by building what I call the "anti-procrastination habit." Whether you're someone who lets the occasional task slip through the cracks, or you always do things at the last minute, you'll discover an abundance of actionable advice.

Do you struggle with completing projects or specific tasks? We'd all like to get things done and become more productive. But what often happens is we put off important tasks and let them slip through the cracks. The end result? We get overwhelmed by the amount of things to do. In other words, "procrastination" causes you to feel stressed when you're not completing tasks in a systematic manner.

Having trouble achieving your goals? The reason most people aren't successful is they fail to follow a day-by-day strategy.

If you closely examine the world's most successful people you'd see they start each day in an energized state, ready to accomplish any goal. What's their secret? Put simply, successful people have morning routines that help them feel energized and ready to focus on their most important goal.

Good summary of some other books
What made the experience of listening to To-Do List Makeover the most enjoyable?
It's well read, you can easily understand what the narrator is saying
What other book might you compare To-Do List Makeover to and why?
Getting things done is similar, but it goes more into details.
Which scene was your favorite?
The MIT section
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Making to do lists is convenient and can help you organize your life in a more effective and productive way
Any additional comments?
It's a good summary of other books about personal organization. Overall I prefer David Allen's aproach on Getting Things Done, but I really liked that this summary was brief and simple.
