Unpacking ‘Innovation’ – Moving from idea to action

A “To-Do” List for Life

Last time I wrote about the new format of to-do list that I created for juggling lots of different tasks at work.  Now I’m going to suggest how you can create a similar list to create some general balance in your life.  At the very least, it will help you become aware of the areas…
