“Refreshingly real and extremely practical. A must-read.” —Ruth Schwenk, author of From Grouchy to Great
From the Back Cover
Ever just wish the world would stop for a day so you could catch up?
No matter how much we accomplish in a day, we nearly always feel a little guilt over what we didn’t do. But do we really have more to do than the women who came before us? Maybe not.
In Taming the To-Do List, Glynnis Whitwer exposes a seismic shift in society: from one in which most of us were proactive to one in which we carry the burden of having to respond–to every email, text, tweet, and message we receive. This creates a cycle where everyone else sets the priorities for our days rather than us directing our own lives. The result? We procrastinate, putting off the important stuff for later while we tend to the "urgent" stuff right now.
It’s time to take back your schedule! Ready to tame that to-do list? This book shows you how.

This short, direct-to-the-point book isn’t just for women! The simple, basic concept explained here is a valuable habit/skill which ALL busy persons can/should have routinely incorporated into their lives. Though it’s been almost sixty years since I was originally taught the concept of making "to-do" lists and regularly adding, crossing off and prioritizing the items on the list from my sixth grade teacher Mr. Wallace, I have never forgotten him or his lesson. I regard this as one of the single-most important habits I was ever taught and it helped-helps me even now into my successful retirement. This is an "easy to acquire" and put-to-practice life-lesson ALL successful people need to master. The earlier in life, the better.
Procrastination. We’ve all experienced it. Whitwer says she was an expert in it. She has learned how to conquer it and she shares her ideas with us.
I like how she distinguishes filling our days with work and doing our best work. She wants to see us progress on our highest and best callings of life – work that makes the greatest impact on lives (ours and others). “Busy work is the thief of our best work,” she writes. Her goal for us is not to get more things done but to get the right things done.
She helps us understand procrastination and our motivation behind it. Once we’ve done that we can identify motivators to get us moving in the right direction. We look at the cost of decisions, the cost of procrastinating, stress (from procrastinating), fear, overload, perfectionism, decision making, will-power, time management, setting goals, identifying projects vs. tasks, prioritizing, and getting an accountability partner.
I really appreciate her comments on planning time for renewal, like Bible reading and other activities that energize us. She even wants us to take time to dream.
This book is not going to tell you how to create the best to-do list. It will help you understand how you can accomplish the most important tasks before you, slaying that procrastination dragon. The choice is still yours. Whitwer gives you the tools for getting the best things done. It’s still up to each one of us to follow through.
Food for thought: “What is God calling you to do that you haven’t done yet?”
I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher for the purpose of an independent and honest review.
It amazes me to think that the simplest life lessons are not shared or even passed down to other generations. Everyone needs to have these techniques in order to perform better and with a lot of less stress and anxiety even guilt. Taming the To-Do List: How to Choose Your Best Work Every Day by Glynnis Whitwer battles the procrastination beast that has plagued so many with no end in sight. It scares me to the core that I tend to worry over this because it should be among one of the most important talks that any one person has with younger folks. It would benefit them in the long run even if at the moment all they want to do is roll those eyes to the heavens. Once it is planted the seed will grow and create the backdrop to success. A little corny but it needs to be said and shared in order to work. I think the best part of Whitwer’s words is that she shares her battle and gives the best and only one workable solution in order to end this struggle. Although the struggle is real it can be dealt with and remedied. It would be nice to have this kind of technique down early but it is never to late to start at any point in ones life. Better late than never. I received a copy for this review from Revell Books and all opinions are my own.
