Plan FUN this weekend

I love this list for three reasons: 1) the tree illustration exhorting her to "get it done!"; 2) the final item "be more awesome!"; and 3) the running commentary on which items are and are not fun. Lately my friend Sara and I have been talking about how to inject fun in our lives. Sara left me a voicemail after our dinner, asking if I thought we were on the road to becoming hedonists. I responded that "hedonism" has a negative connotation, but we are still calling each other hedonists, unabashed in our pursuit of pleasure. I want to put fun things on my list every day and every weekend. So. . . give us some inspiration. Where's the fun on your lists?

Hello list fiends. I am working on a new book. It's a memoir about my year of solo travel in South America, a personal quest. There will even be discussion of lists as I try to leave my list-mania behind for a more present-minded way of life. As I write, I'm building up my author profile (rather than the profile for each book I've already published). So please like me, Sasha Cagen, the author behind To-Do List and Quirkyalone and you will be hearing about all kinds of good stuff as this and other book projects develop. Yours in listing, Sasha

Sharing My Secrets as a "Successful To-Do List Junkie"

noreply@blogger.com (Sasha) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:11:00 +0000

My to-do list story began with my fascination with other people's lists. I first published to-do lists as art in the pages of my magazine To-Do List, where we published essays and interviews on the theme of everyday life. Somewhere along the way the lists stole the show and demanded to be showcased in their own book. And I became a to-do list junkie without even trying. Here Paula Rizzo of the blog List Producer interviews me about my listmaking habits. I am astonished to read my own interview and see how pervasively woven to-do lists are now in my life. Truly, I cannot live without them now. And neither can many of us.
