Charissa Coate is a mom, a grandmother, a lifelong list person, and the author of Sprinkle It (Forward Press, January 2027). For twenty years she has managed multi-million-dollar project budgets for a living, and she has lived both sides of the problem her book solves: the years when life was too full to breathe, and the years when momentum was hard to find. What finally worked was never more willpower. It was a smaller dose.

Sprinkle It began as an idea that woke her at 2 a.m., and she wrote much of it on the lake behind her home. Off the page, she has run marathons and Spartan races, takes on endless DIY home renovations, and spends as much time on the water as she can. One of her favorite mottos is to leave every person, place, and thing better than you found them.
