You really can get things done, when you have a plan

admin — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 22:56:51 +0000

Everyday we have lists of todo items to get done. We write them down and start at the top… or do we start with the easy ones… or do we get things done not on the list? At the end of the day, we have our list of todo items… and the list has grown. This day to day routine will give anyone an ulcer.

The list at home for household chores isn’t good to fall behind on but if you fall behind on the work list it could show up at raise time or worse yet ‘pink’ slip time!

When looking around for systems to use, we went through the usual books and paper methods to find a true end-to-end solution. This might actually be it; software (PC and Mac), eBooks, charts and paper systems – all wrapped in one package.

When you read the start of the description page, you may do like we did… “yea, I already do that” but as you read further down you will notice that it is more than ‘getting things done’.

Take a look at the full description page to get a full picture of how to get your ToDo list under control!

While the package (The Action Machine 2.0 software) includes a bunch of bonus items to help you along, we really liked the “The ’3 Steps To Get Things Done’ ClarityMap” and “The ‘How To Hit Your Goals’ ClarityMap”, both of which go beyond what a simple book can spell out for you.

Making your own Green Tea

admin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:18:41 +0000

Green tea is becoming all the fad around the office. People have been going to the far ends of the town or ordering online to get just the right ingredients to make their own Green Tea. There are many reasons people are doing this… everyone has their own reason. Whether real or just something they have heard, coworkers are getting what they are looking out of it so I would say that is a win.

I went in search of an eBook to get some facts on the Green Tea subject. I was surprised to find this one that not only goes into why you should drink Green Tea, it also has all the info I needed to make my own. No need to take listen to the street for someone’s untested opinion. I was happy to see there was facts in ‘print’ so could jump in knowing what I was getting into. You can take a look at Stacy’s eBook outline here… your milage may vary but Green Tea is looking more fact base than fad these days.

Electronic books can be listened to, not just read

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:00:10 +0000

One of the best kept secrets of iTunes Music Store is that there is actually a very large area of Audiobooks. Recently chatting with a group on electronic books there was some confusion that a eBook is more about a Text Electronic book. Some have images and moving bits (hey, it’s electronic, let’s use the power we have over a printed book!), but it is all about viewing. While an audio book is all about listening without having to view. An iPod or iPhone/Touch are great ways to ‘listen’ to your book. Take a look at Apple’s offerings, you might just find that some things are easier to enjoy as Audio rather than Print – there is a whole area for Audiobooks:

View the many iTunes Audiobooks

Know others that might enjoy ‘listening’? I actually buy a lot of audio versions of books for my mom. As she has gotten along in years she likes not having to focus on a screen for a long period of time:

Build A Wind Power Generator

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:10:26 +0000

It was a long time desire for my father and I to build a wind power generator in our back yard. Our property dropped off a bit and had a breeze through the lower area constantly. Perfect! But, our search found very little info beyond how people out in the desert were doing it. That was then, this is now… I found a eBook all about getting the wind to make power, on a pretty tight budget!

Here is what the author says:

“The story of how we built our own wind generator over 15 years ago.
This project has proven to be a great addition to our renewable energy system. In fact, we are confident that this is the fastest way for any family to get started.”

“We did all of the installation work ourselves, and soon visitors to our rather unique home were asking us to install renewable energy systems for them too.”

“The simple answer to all of your questions is – ‘You can build a 1000 watt homemade wind generator for under $100 (including the wind generator plans ! ) in about 2 weekends and all of the parts are readily available and quickly obtained.”
