Paula Rizzo shared thisSometimes life throws you a curveball. And what you do next is up to you. Embracing change isn't easy, but it's necessary for stepping up to what you need at this moment — and imagining where you're going next. I hopped on Tara Stiles' podcast to chat with her about getting comfortable with change — Tara is the author of eight yoga and wellness books and the founder of Strala Yoga. I interviewed Tara way back when her book first came out (over ten years ago!) and I loved reconnecting with her about this topic and more. You can check out our whole conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eB8Ab2EK

Paula Rizzo shared thisI love traveling and seeing new places. I used to feel stressed out and overwhelmed by all the planning and details that go into travel. But then I learned there’s a better way to approach vacationing. Yep, you can have your cake and eat it too — you can plan an incredible trip and also feel relaxed and able to enjoy each moment. Here’s one of my top tips: Pack an “essentials kit.” Make yourself a kit of everything you might need on your flight — small snacks, aspirin, gum, chapstick, an eye mask — and stash it somewhere easily accessible. You’ll save yourself the hassle of digging through your suitcase! I even put some travel slippers in there for long trips! I’ve put together a list of my all-time favorite apps and resources to make your next trip less stressful. #travel #traveltips #reducestress

Paula Rizzo shared thisThere is so much pressure and excitement built up around the launch of a book. And that's for a good reason. The book launch is how your book gets into the hands of readers for the first time. But you also need to be thinking about the long game. How are you turning your book launch into the foundation of a fruitful career as an author? From identifying your "why" to finding the strategies that work for you to keep your audience engaged, I've shared my top tips for keeping the momentum going. Check them out in Writer's Digest: https://lnkd.in/e4JJZYkQ #author #expert #media #booklaunch

Paula Rizzo shared thisI get it — doing live video can be scary. The most common fear my clients share with me is about something going wrong, from tech malfunctions to a last-minute guest cancellation. Want to know what I tell them? Something will go wrong. It’s true. Not all the time, but it’s bound to happen — and if you’re prepared for these things, they become much less scary. Join me today at 2 p.m. ET on my live-streaming show Inside Scoop to learn how to handle the unexpected on video: #video #media #mediatraining

Paula Rizzo shared thisI love attending conferences! It’s so exciting to have those opportunities to connect, get energized, and be inspired. But conferences can be overwhelming too. There’s so much pressure to talk to as many people as possible, attend every session, and take endless notes. And sometimes all that pressure doesn’t help you actually make the most of the event. That’s why I put together this guide to preparing for conferences as an attendee. From what to pack to carving out time for post-conference to-dos, I’ve got you covered. #conference #workshop #notetaking

Paula Rizzo shared thisSharing what you're doing in the media is the best way to get more media. The more clips you have, the more producers will see you as a trusted expert with something important to say. But how can you make sure your media interviews go as well as possible — and what should you do afterward beyond putting up the links on your online platforms? Here are my strategies from this month's Writer's Digest column: https://lnkd.in/e3qE5HVV #books #author #expert #publishing

Listful Thinking: Using Lists to be More Productive, Highly Successful and Less Stressed
Viva Editions
See publicationWhat do Madonna, Martha Stewart, John Lennon, Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Franklin, Ronald Reagan, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, and Johnny Cash have in common? Each is (or was) a list maker.
These successful people, along with CEOs and successful entrepreneurs, all use lists to keep track of their ideas, thoughts, and tasks. Finding enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished and allow for some downtime can be a struggle. It's no wonder so many of us are stressed, overextended,…What do Madonna, Martha Stewart, John Lennon, Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Franklin, Ronald Reagan, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, and Johnny Cash have in common? Each is (or was) a list maker.
These successful people, along with CEOs and successful entrepreneurs, all use lists to keep track of their ideas, thoughts, and tasks. Finding enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished and allow for some downtime can be a struggle. It's no wonder so many of us are stressed, overextended, and exhausted.
More than half of all American employees feel overwhelmed, according to a study by the nonprofit Family and Work Institute. For the 54 percent of us who feel like we’re chasing our own tails, Listful Thinking is here to prove that it doesn't have to be that way. You can still find time to relax, read a good book, and do the things you love.
Listful Thinking is the book that will give readers their lives back with indispensable tips on saving time, getting organized, improving productivity, saving money, and reducing stress.
