  • Lessons from this week

    Well this week has been a bit crazy, but there have been a few lessons that I learned that I would like to share. 1. Sometimes you need to take time for yourself. Some days you need to not try to see how much work you can get done. Sometimes it is just important to…

  • Today was great!

    The morning routine worked great today! I got up, got out of my room, and got things done before I even met with my project group at 9. I had things done before 9:00 on a Saturday morning! Wow did that feel good. I AM tired now and its getting close to 10 so that’s…

  • Devise Systems To Accomplish Tasks

    I think I am only beginning to understand systems and how they can help in getting things done. I’ve tried lots of thing thus far in becoming organized and I’ve made some great improvements. I do however still feel that I am lacking immensely in where I could be. I have decided that I am…

  • Congratulations to Leo!

    Well today Leo Babauta at Zen Habits announced that he has quit his day job to be a full time blogger. I’m so jealous! Just a couple of months ago J.D. Roth at Get Rich slowly announced similar plans of slowing work until he quits completely. Although I don’t think that I want to be…

  • Watching too much TV

    So I did something today that I don’t often do. I watched hours of tv. It started this afternoon when I was holding Jayden. He didn’t want to be put down so I put the tv on. Then I got into Psych, which was 2 episodes, and then 2 episodes of Monk. Both of those…

  • Positive News

I promptly pulled up my laptop and decided that I would see if positivenews.com was taken. Sure enough it was, and it forwarded me to http://www.positivenews.net. The site is visually in need…
