Staying Organized
I have a lot on my plate right now, and managing time has been getting a bit difficult. Since I am frequent user of my tablet PC, it's the perfect place to keep my to-do list.
Here is what my computer desktop currently looks like:
I made a wallpaper (download it) with a "Today" section and "This Week" section and used it in conjunction with AT Notes, a very efficient and free program that lets you put "Sticky Notes" on your desktop (The program was brought to my attention from TheKirkReport).
I've been using this system for a week or so, and it has been very effective so far.
I know what must be done everyday, but managing my time is difficult for me. To solve this problem, I bought this little egg timer.
Now I can set one hour for reading school work, the next hour for business, then another hour of school work etc.
Once the bell rings, I move onto the next thing on my agenda. The timer works well at work.
I also bought this big dry erase board to keep track of business projects. This way I can see the most important tasks on my agenda in one place. I hung it above my desk.

Hopefully this will make it slightly easier to manage my time between business stuff and school.

I'm currently not in the market for a motorcycle. I really don't need one right now. I know myself well, and I will undoubtedly kill myself if given a racing motorcycle as everyday transportation.
I got my motorcycle license just for the fun of it. I already knew how to ride, but with the "M" on my license, I can LEGALLY ride friends bikes every once in a while.
I also have to consider the feelings of others before buying a motorcycle. At this point in my life, buying a motorcycle would give my parents a heart attack.

Yes, my server has been down (For the most part) for 3 days.
Had some major revamps of the server recently.
It should be ok now...hopefully.

I've been using it for a while, it totally helps keep you organized. It's flexible, free, and easy to use.
Note: I just notcied that the above may seem like Blog Spam. Trust me, it's not. I really do like the product. Plus, the builders have an entrepreneurial spirit you would appreciate.
Appreciate the idea!
