Musings

Muse is here. Finally, the writing is moving along and I'm not wanting to change the story. Thanks to Michelle Rowen's Write-Ons. It's really helped me get butt in chair and fingers on keyboards. It may not look like much to you (the word count), but trust me, I've rewritten this baby so many times it feels good to want to move ahead rather than change what I have.
Finally.

Quickie Post about great Personal Development Site

Okay, maybe just a quickie post.

First off, I want to invite anyone who happens to be going to the National Home Show in Toronto, Ontario, to drop off at my husband’s booth. Company name is EcoTech Hydronics & Heating; booth number 1716. (I’ll be there on the weekends helping to man the booth.)

Next, I want to share with you my newest favorite website: StevePavlina.com - Personal Development for Smart People. Now, please don’t roll your eyes until you’ve given it a once over. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Some of the articles that had the biggest impact on my (so far) include:
Overcoming Procrastination
Self-discipline – this one is long and insightful
Time Management

I could list every one of Steve’s articles; I find them all enlightening. But, I’ll let you peruse his site and find what interests you. A couple of topics that seem to generate a lot of interest on his site that I haven’t checked out yet include Polyphasic Sleeping and How to Become an Early Riser.

I probably won’t be around Friday, so have a great weekend, folks. Hope you get lots of writing done.

Ciao, Nienke
