We got the green light to create a custom magazine focused on inspiring women last week. I popped the mental champagne cork and found my mind racing with ideas in about 10 seconds. This is when I get really thankful for to-do lists when it comes to managing multiple projects. Your mind wants to go in a million directions, but your to-do list mandates an orderly procession of priorities. I still use pen and paper and find great satisfaction in the physical act of scratching items off. When a lot of your job involves thinking, and it sure does in publishing, a to-do list creates that “thinking” time by tightly organizing your “doing” time. Indespensible.
