5 Productivity Tools to Beat Procrastination
Productive people make things happen. Procrastinators make good excuses. “Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” – Paul Meyer Deadline. The very name sounds menacing and morbid. Many procrastinators can only finish their work under mortal threat. Knowing they will be completely screwed if they don't buckle down and get to work is often the environment they require to buckle down and get to work. The best [...]
No enemies, no drama, and a new place to live.
This is a story about a pedophile I never knew, a landlord I once called a friend, and a family of gypsies escaping into the night. “This is what gypsies do,” my wife said to me as we were packing our sparse possessions into a small caravan of modern-day gypsy wagons. “They pack in the middle of the night, so nobody knows they are leaving.” A happy home.

I use Trello for my blog post content queue, for [...]

Sugar is good for your BRAIN!
One of the peculiar novelties about Costa Rica is the cultural belief that sugar has lots of health benefits. This could be due to copious planting and harvesting of sugar cane within the country, or it could be because there are not very many country-wide communications except for advertising. Unlike the United States, you can say anything you want in advertising here, without getting sued. I have translated the claims on these sugar packets so you can see what I [...]
