Are you afraid?

Yes, I’m afraid!

There, I said it.

Or maybe I’m just really, really busy.

No.

We desperately want work life balance and a leader to show us how

 

Two ways to blog daily and prolifically:

  1. Take tons of photos of real life in real time
  2. Use them to drive your posts, or to compliment them

Simple doesn’t mean easy. It just means simple.

There will never be a short cut to peace of mind from spending ourselves in a worthy cause.

Seven year itch and the Internet domain?

That flag looks familiar

 

Are we willing to wait a long, long time for big things to happen? How about waiting seven years?

The previous owner of www.jeffnoel.com had it for seven years.

Being organized enough to use GoDaddy’s backorder feature, I waited, and waited.

And waited.

The previous owner was given a 60-day grace period, including multiple reminders that their domain name had expired and will be up for grabs if they don’t renew. And this is on top of reminders before hand that it was about to expire.

Is owning the dot.com worth the wait?

A great question is 1,000 times better than the right answer to the wrong question.

We get trapped into focusing on two things when it comes to personal organization:

  1. what to do
  2. how to do it

In reality, we will never succeed until we understand why.

If this requires explanation, we are not yet ready to understand.
