The To Do Show

Real People. Real Lists. Real Talk.

Every week, I ask someone to show me their actual to-do list, and we unpack how they really get through their day. No highlight reels. No productivity theater. Just honest conversations about the beautiful chaos of being human.

New episodes every Tuesday • 35-45 min conversations

Premiering December 2, 2025

What is The To Do Show?

Most interview shows feature experts at the top of their game. The To-Do Show is different – I talk to everyday people from all walks of life (nurses, entrepreneurs, coaches, creatives) about the one thing nobody talks about: what’s actually on their list today.

Because your to-do list reveals more about you than your resume ever could.

Each episode explores:

  • How people actually organize their time (not how they think they should)
  • The systems that work (and the ones that definitely don’t)
  • The trade-offs nobody admits they’re making
  • What it looks like when you have 47 things on your list… or zero

Is This Show For You?

The To-Do Show is for anyone who’s ever felt:

  • Overwhelmed by unrealistic productivity advice
  • Isolated in their struggle to keep it all together
  • Curious about how other people actually do it
  • Tired of content that’s either too fluffy or too preachy

If you’re a creative professional, freelancer, parent, small business owner, teacher, or remote worker who wants to feel organized without losing spontaneity – this show is for you.

We’re here for the curious doers. The imperfectly organized. The people building days that match their real energy and values.

Hi, I'm Jen Tracy

Jen Tracy, host of the to do show, sits at her desk podcasting

For the last few years, I’ve been kind of obsessed with one question:

What do people actually do in a day?

Not the Instagram version… The real version.

The version where your kid is crying while you’re on a Zoom call, or you have 27 browser tabs open and can’t remember what you were doing, or you’ve color-coded your entire Google Calendar and you’re still drowning.

I started The To Do Show because I am so curious about people! What do the details of their lives look like? How is everyone different? How is everyone the same? How are we all trying? What’s actually on their to-do list, what are they avoiding, and how are they really making it work (or not).

My background is in marketing and brand strategy, but this show isn’t about optimization – it’s about curiosity. I love sharing other people’s stories and getting to ask them all of the questions I have bubbling inside me (and I have found that putting a microphone in front of someone makes it socially acceptable for me to interrogate them!)
