Once a week I block out an hour of time generally late at night when it’s quiet and free of distractions and I audit my to-do list. The software that I primarily use as my project management hub allows me to break my list up into different projects and categories. I take the time to analyze each ...

Earlier this year we did some concreting around our home and removed a section of paving and lawn, and replaced it with concrete that is covered by an outdoor living area. Although there is a drain in the middle, one morning I noticed that my nice concrete living area had suddenly become a small ...

For some time before this, I had tried different projects and ways of creating an income from within the web ...
