LISTFUL THINKING

Paula Rizzo's clear narration straightforwardly describes the art of organizing your life through list making and how it can lead you to achieve your goals--no matter how big or small. Citing Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna as examples of celebrity list makers, Rizzo persuasively explains how list making can boost brain power, reduce stress, sharpen focus, declutter your brain, aid in strategic planning, and increase productivity. Rizzo's tone is light and cheery, making for a listening experience that is informative and appealing. Though she breezes through much of the narrative, making the list-making process sound easy, she delivers her bullet points on technique and tips at a slower pace to give listeners time to process them. Tidbits of helpful advice further add to the appeal of this listful, rather than wishful, way of getting things accomplished. M.F. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2016]
