    About this ebook

    Work harder, not smarter?

    Julie Lind leads a busy life. Between fancy dates with her boyfriend, making strides in her rising career, going out drinking with her girlfriends, and weekly visits (and care packages) to her grandmother, Julie just barely manages to balance it all.

    To keep track of everything, Julie makes detailed To Do lists in her planner, never realizing that her lists reveal their own version of her life.

    A life that will spiral out of control—so far that even To Do lists can't save it.

    Or can they?

    A sweet story about a woman coming to unexpected terms with herself, despite her most ambitious tendencies.

      I RECENTLY landed up in hospital, and as I’m a coffee addict I was taking a bit of strain. In the ward they served coffee only at 5am and 6pm. Desperate for my fix I thought I’d try my hand at charming the lady who brought my lunch. So I decided to p
