Bear is now 2
by
Bear is now two and I recently renewed my year of membership. Bear has come to be many things for me. I don’t use like I used to use Evernote but I do use it a bunch. If you watch my YouTube channel then I’ll talk about it in the future. For now I do
A Freelance Interview with Gaya Kessler
by
It can get lonely at times, but it helps to have a client who wants you to visit their office. In the beginning it has also quite stressful for me since I gave up the “financial security” I used to have. I put quotes around it because nobody really knows for sure if the job
Keywords and your site
by
I have a new post up for Godaddy on what keywords are and how to use them on your site. Many business owners are told that they need to use keywords on their websites to improve their organic search engine ranking. Unfortunately, some either don’t know why this is important or don’t know how to

by
I re-read the transcript this morning while I was once more feeling exasperated with how little time I’ve had for writing lately. (For me, writing is my yardstick for productivity. It doesn’t matter how much other work I’ve been doing behind the scenes here; if I’m not publishing, I’m not happy.) What the author has
Battling Procrastination
by
From Darius Foroux: Every time I put off a decision, hit the snooze button, skipped the gym, or didn’t complete my tasks because I didn’t feel like it, I always had an explanation for my continual procrastination. I told myself I was tired. Or that it could wait until tomorrow. Who cares if you put
