Overview

Lifestyle guru and erstwhile historian Sarah Goodfellow steps out of her leafy Atlanta neighborhood to share her system of lists. Developed over the years, this system keeps to-dos tidy, organized, prioritized, and understandable. The reader, in the meantime, becomes more satisfied with life, finding meaning and justification in living. Like a young Heather O'Rourke sitting in front of the TV, we have all struggled to break through the static of the day and often fail to see what to do next. We hope things will complete themselves, only to find that in the morning one's to-do list is still here, indifferent. With pen and ink illustrations, each step in the system will give the reader a moment to reflect, smile, think, furrow a brow, and reflect. Did we repeat ourselves? No, we reflected. Get in our taxi, pedestrian! If one has a dislike for Marie Kondo and don't know McSweeney's Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey book series, then this book falls in the crevasse that yelps, ""This book is for you!"" On the other hand, if a reader enjoys Marie Kondo and also knows McSweeney's Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey book series, then this book fairly yells, ""Pick me, I'm clean!"" If someone needs something to read on the porch, that works too. Along the way, readers will stumble into a subtle meditation on what it means to be human, what it means to give up on something, to complete something, to realize that something is too big to start, too small to consider. This book is for anyone who started a list only to never complete it, inviting Emil Cioran's whispers into their ear. Break free! This book shows the way. Published by Baenninger Books. Erstwhile means ""in the past"", e.g., ""in the past Sarah Goodfellow was a historian, but now she is a lifestyle guru whose book is all about lists and how to create, maintain, and master them.""
