Read MorePowerful Threes I tuned in to Marie TV earlier this week while she was talking with Ned Hallowell. They were talking about To-do lists. (So was I! Check out my blog from last week -The To-do List.) Ned suggested; pick three things off your To-do list each day, and do them well. What a concept!
