Book Review of Todoodlist. Also: Can You Handle My White Hot Dancing?

by Josh Hanagarne on August 19, 2009

Today I’m going to use a video to answer two questions you’ve asked me.

The questions:

1. You have a lot going on. How do you stay organized?

2. You say you like to dance. When are you going to dance for us?

And there you have it.  All on the honor system.  I promise to deliver every time another 50 books get downloaded.

Now remember, this isn’t just a stunt.  You do get something out of this besides my glorious, writhing gifts.  Todoodlist is for real and should help you get things together.  I think it is has the greatest potential for bloggers, writers, and anyone who spends too much time wondering if they’ve forgotten something

I never thought I’d be typing these words, but:

Click here to make Josh dance with wild abandon, just for you!!!

…but we both know you don’t have the guts.  Ha!

OK Josh; it’s ON buddy! I’m going to grab that book and watch you do the funky chicken, bro! LOL

Michael Stagg. Bring it. Remember, I get an email if you buy it. You can’t just say you bought it and sit around hoping for Dirty Dancing 3.

I wouldn’t try to trick ya! LOL… Actually, I need a new perspective on organization anyway so in a way you just may have solved my need.

Josh you’re videos are hilarious. I might just take you up on your dare. (I don’t have the guts? We’ll see about that!).

In college, you can never be too organized so I guess I’ll check it out.

John, thanks. What are you studying in college. I love the look of your blog, if I haven’t already told you so. And seriously, if I’d had this book in college, I might have been the Dean, versus the academic performance I turned in which was the equivalent of sketching a landscape with a crayon in your mouth.

Someone once posted a comment on my blog that said the best blog posts are the ones that convince them to do something. This is it. I’m crap at organizing, so I’ll buy the book. No brainer. But, I absolutely must see the dancing. I have no doubt you’ll get to the public place dancing level, and for this, I would actually pay another $14.

Thanks again for the interview, even if I did make an editing mistake – but yes, it happens. You’re still the most witty conversationalist I know.

@Laura. The interview was a blast. I couldn’t even begin to care about an editing mistake. Think no more of it. It’s not like it produced the sort of snafu that mixing up “indict” and “induct” could cause. I can’t wait to hear what you think of Todoodlist. Nick’s got another book coming out soon. Should be great.

Oh, and I did edit it a few hours ago to save what’s left of my writing reputation!

Dancing is a great way to relieve stress!

Hi Josh, I already have Todoodlist and am preparing a review of my own, so I can’t buy it again. Can I still add my voice to those of the people who want to see you dance? If you gave us a ten second video with just one move to whet our appetites, it might stimulate an exponential curve of Todoodlist purchases to get more of Josh Hanagarne’s WHITE HOT MOVES!!!
As always love and appreciation!

Game on, Josh! I plunked down the cash at PayPal (waiting for the confirmation now – it’ll come through my other side biz email for onceuponathyme) and am counting on seeing that boogie woogie wild thang. I’m a GTD fan, but always love learning new ways to keep organized and moving forward on projects. I’m a diehard pencil and paper organizer, so Todoodlelist sounds like an approach I can relate to. Great way to support an indie, which I’m always happy to do when I’m able. Cheers, Vic

@Victoria Vargas. Crap…I thought this would take a little longer. I planned on dancing sometime in 2012, hoping the end of the world would bail me out.

@Josh – Sorry, my friend. Such far-fetched hopes, as GWB Sr would say, “just wouldn’t be prudent.” I’m afraid your dancin’ shoes are in for a work out. I’m hoping for Car Wash, Ring My Bell, or Flashlight for the dancin’ tunes you’ll use to break out those “white hot” moves.

I’m about 70 pages into Todoodlist and am loving it. I highly recommend it! Nick’s approach is fantastic and his writing is a scream. I’m hooked. Thanks for the head’s up and referral. Cheers, Vic

@Josh

You’ve told me before, but I love hearing about my blog’s appearance again! I’m actually majoring in economics at the University of Chicago. (No more required courses this year thank God) Soon it will be time to put Todoodlist to good use.

Well, looks like you better brush up on some moves, Josh. Some recommended training material:

-Breakin’
-Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo
-Saturday Night Fever
-Lord of the Dance

See if you can find a way to combine them all…….

-Craig

Craig, I love Breakin’ 1 and 2. I actually learned the solo to Saturday night fever once. I used to date a dancer and we spent too many afternoons staring at these movies and practicing them.

So did you make it to 50 yet? I was already clicking on buy before you mentioned the dancing, but that just sweetened the deal.

Josh Hanagarne March 24, 2010 at 9:26 am

Niki, I passed 50 last week. I am currently choreographing something that will blow your mind:)

NikiF March 24, 2010 at 10:14 am

Looking forward to seeing those moves!
