I Cannot Believe.....
...I am so far behind with a lot of things. It's not that I'm procrastinating on things like posting to my blog, it's just that I'm always so busy with everything else at the moment. I saw that one of the bloggers I frequently visit, Momfiles to be exact... Uses schedules/lists to get things done. I'm thinking it's really time I started to do the same!

A Watchful Eye
My mother use to ask me why I don't wear a watch. My mother-in-law wondered at one point why there are not a lot of clocks around our home. I'm just not the type of person that needs to keep a watchful eye on time I guess.
I have a watch. Not a nice one like a Breguet, but it does the job just fine. And to be honest, I rarely ever wear it.
I think for the most part it's because I have a clock on my cell phone. There's a clock in the one of the kids' rooms and there's a clock in our bedroom. There's also a clock on the DVD/VHS player. Do we really need more?
To me keeping track of time is like never getting anything done. I do understand that at times you need to know what the time is so you don't miss appointments or meetings, but for me I don't need to stare at the time every second of the day. Sometimes when someone asks me what time it is I feel like saying, get a watch. But that is another story.lol

No Longer Wasting My Time
I'm always looking for ways to get more done in my life, but usually I wind up not finding the time to do so. Between work, paying off debt, finding a vehicle, cleaning, cooking and caring for the kids, my plate winds up being pretty full. Then, it dawned on me.
There are times like I had Saturday when I was traveling that I realized I can use the time to write out rough drafts for work or schedules for the week. When I'm on long trips as a passenger or at the doctor's office or dental office waiting as I have done quite a bit lately. I realized I can use this time wisely instead of wasting it. I can do the same things that I normally do at home and save time!
I mean really! There's no reason I can't bring a notebook and write. It's not like anyone is going to stop me and say hey you can't do that. Well, maybe myself!
And ironically, this way of thinking isn't anything new to me. I'd read about these ideas before in magazines and books, and by researching other articles online. Yet, I continued to go about my old way of doing things, until now. Now I've realized that I need to stop burning myself out and make use of the spare time I have. Isn't great how one day away from home can change a person's perspective!

Free USB Braclet For Your Business.
I love free stuff, especially when the item is worth the effort.... And this item is definitely worth the effort. It's a Free 2 GB USB bracelet. I must give credit to Steven Truong for this find.
The company giving away the USB bracelet is, Interop Ability. Keep in mind that when you check out this free item, they do ask for company info, so if you're not self-employed, you may want to skip out on this offer. Also, if you're worried about Junk mail or too many solicited phone calls, you might want to give them a junk email address and screen your calls. But please remember, they're giving this item away for a moment of your time.
A Quick Update: This comes from Steven Truong under comments. Thank You Steven.
-"I do want to note that this is sponsored by Microsoft and Novell and that if you don't have a company and it requires one, you can actually use your name since sole proprietorships can operate under individual names for business."

Tomorrow is Going to be a Very Long Day
I'll probably be getting up before everyone else, aside from my fiance. He has to work at 5am, which means the alarm will be going off a 230am! Ohhh what fun!!! So yeah, I'm going to be up at 5am. It's fine though. it's a nice quiet time when the kids will be asleep and I'll be able to catch up on some extra work. I could use all of the work I can get right now. Soo much to do and not enough money it seems.
Speaking of which, when I have time... I'd like to get on the topic of making money.. I'm not talking about the work your ass off type of jobs, but those get rich schemes. You know the ones. More about those later though.
I'd also like to dig deeper into the topic of real beauty. It's an issue that I've had an interest in for a very long time. As a matter of fact I went as far as creating an e-zine because of it. I have sooo many ideas, but there never seems to be enough time.
