Task Lists!!!

Today we’re talking task mastery. As if there were such a thing. I love task lists. I make them. I lose them. I start new ones. I write things on them I’ve already done just so I can check them off. I get bored with them and drop off the map for extended periods of time. It’s a problem!

I know they work. I’ve tried nearly every type of memo pad, post-it, and app known to woman. All work if used all don’t if not used.

I’ve been using one app for about four years on and off and it’s the one I keep coming back to so I’ll explain what I love, like, dislike and hate about it.

Book Review: Bitter is the New Black

I happened upon this author as a recommendationbitternewblack based on another book I read. I did a little digging and decided I should really check out her first book rather than the one recommended. That way if I liked the author I’d have a whole new series to read. Boy howdy was that a good idea. Bitter is the New Black started out a little slow for me. I was all – this chick is a B-word but I kept going figuring based on the title surely she was about to get her comeuppance and boy did she but by then I wasn’t relishing in her downfall. I’d come to really appreciate and even like her. I’m so glad I stuck it out. I ended up loving the book and have now read the second in the series. I’m looking forward to reading all the rest of them.
