Make 2009 My Best Year Yet

Must be about 50-50 on my goals last week. Since April begins on Monday this week, I think I won’t do a week plan for this week. See if I can set up a better structure for April. Consider if BYY is meeting my needs or whether I want to take a break from it for April while seeing if the Autofocus Time Management system can fill in the gap.
