Magic To-Do List A magic to-do list is a concept that combines the practicality of a traditional to-do list with the wonder and intrigue of magic. It is an imaginative approach to organizing and accomplishing tasks that aims to make the act of completing tasks more enjoyable and satisfying. The magic to-do list begins with the idea that each task has a magical element attached to it. This could be in the form of a spell, charm, or enchantment that brings the task to life and makes it more exciting to complete. For example, instead of simply writing "clean the house" on the to-do list, the magic version could say "release the cleaning sprites to make your home sparkle." The idea behind the magic to-do list is to add an element of fun and playfulness to mundane tasks.
That's the inspiration for the new Harriet's Delicatessen pop-up, located at Paula and Sam Kramer's 73 Spring St. downtown Charleston Baguette Magic location. It's an ode to their late grandmother, Harriet Keyserling, best known for her influential work as a politician.

The coffee is still present, but bites coming from the kitchen have shifted from casual café fare to dishes one would expect to find at a Jewish deli.

Born in New York City as Harriet Hirschfeld, Keyserling moved to Beaufort in 1946 with her husband Herbert, a physician in the Navy during World War II. She later helped organize a Beaufort branch of the League of Women Voters, helping her earn election to the Beaufort County Council in 1974. Thirty years after she moved to Beaufort, Keyserling became the first Beaufort County woman in the South Carolina House of Representatives, where she served for 16 years, focusing on women's issues, energy, nuclear waste, education and the arts.
Keyserling is memorialized inside the Harriet’s Delicatessen pop-up, with printed photos of the Kramers’ grandmother scattered across the white walls. The food menu honors her Jewish heritage, starting with the pastries.

Rugelach, hamantash, chocolate babka and strawberry cheesecake Danishes cover the sweets category, while knish — a baked pastry filled with a smooth stuffing of potatoes, onions and a little sour cream — is available for those who prefer savory.

The attachment to knish and other Harriet’s Delicatessen menu items like pastrami on rye, trout salad, challah bread, cabbage rolls, corned beef hash and matzo ball chicken soup appears to be about more than just the taste; multiple patrons express their nostalgic sentiments as they place their orders, with some purchasing in bulk.
Even Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg stopped by Harriet’s last month.
The pop-up hits especially close to home for Sam Kramer, who for years operated a Jewish and Mexican-inspired pop-up called Matzo Y Masa.
“It’s just the food I’ve always been interested in doing,” Sam Kramer said. “This is a concept that I've been developing in my head for two to three years.”
The sisters realized Harriet’s Delicatessen needed more than just a handful of events, so it will stick around through April. During the pop-up, Baguette Magic favorites like the honey lavender latte and buttery croissants will still be available during opening hours, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday through Monday.

Reviews for "The Science of the Magic To-Do List: How It Works and Why It's Effective"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to try "Magic to-do list" as I've heard so many good things about it, but I have to say I was disappointed. The app seemed really slow and laggy, and it kept crashing whenever I tried to add a new task. The user interface was also not very intuitive, and it took me a while to figure out how to navigate through the different sections. Overall, I found it to be quite frustrating and ended up uninstalling it after a few days.
2. Emily - 1 star - I really wanted to like "Magic to-do list" but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to my expectations. The app constantly showed me irrelevant notifications and reminders for tasks I had already completed. It was really annoying and became more of a distraction than a helpful tool. Additionally, the design and layout of the app felt outdated and cluttered. It lacked the sleek and modern look that I prefer in a productivity app. I ended up switching to a different to-do list app that better suited my needs.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found "Magic to-do list" to be quite cumbersome to use. It had too many unnecessary features and options that made it difficult to simply add and manage tasks. I just wanted a simple and straightforward to-do list app, and this one fell short for me. The constant pop-up ads were also quite annoying and disrupted my workflow. I would have preferred a cleaner and ad-free experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this app to those who are looking for a basic and user-friendly to-do list solution.
