I have been a student of personal development since the age of 19 when I first started a home based business. My company at the time would talk about dream boards, aks vision boards, attraction boxes and attraction books. These are really just tools to help us with our visualization. Constantly seeing things we want and things that make us happy raises our energy level and also keeps our goals in front of us. In the beginning, my biggest problem was that I wanted so many things, that I found it hard to focus on just one. I get a lot of people that ...

During my sophomore year of college at Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ) I would get up almost every morning between 5:00 and 5:30 and ride my bike over to the track where I would join the other morning joggers.

I figured that the first post on my site should be a “state of the union” post about why I am embarking on this project and what I intend this site to be about. In the past few years I’ve become somewhat obsessed with planning, organizing and time management. I’m fascinated by web applications and tricks people use to become more productive and efficient in their lives. Me? I have been, and am, the exact opposite. I’m far from perfect. It’s a growth process for me and a process that will continue to evolve as life presents its daily challenges. However, after several months ...
