Ta-da!, JP Morgan, $25K



So I was checking out a few blogs last week and I came across this badass "to-do" list. It's called Ta-da list. I found it on [b]eckers blog. You should check out his blog, he's a ridiculously good wedding photographer from Cali. Anyways- the ta-da list is free and the reason it ties in to JP morgan and 25k is described in the story below.

One day a man approached JP Morgan and propositioned him with the following:
"Mr. Morgan" he said "I have, on this piece of paper the secret to being more productive- and I will give it to you for a mere $25,000"
JP Morgan instructed the man to let him see the paper, and if indeed the content on the page was a path to being more productive he would cut the man a check.
JP Morgan opened the paper, and on it was the following secret to unparallelled productivity. It read as follows:

"Every day make a list of things you must do. Then, do them"

Morgan cut the man a check on the spot.
(story above is my interpretation and probably mythologized quite a bit, and might in fact be made up - not by me though)

Consider my mentioning of the Ta-da list as a personal favor to you- no charge :)
