How I did it
How to floss daily
It took me
21 days
It made me

How I did it: Easy - I just made up my mind and did it. I do like those Plackers pre-strung floss things. They're strong and I don't have to cut off the circulation in my fingertips to floss. Read how I did it…

How to organize and regularly update my web site and blogs
It took me
22 months
It made me

How I did it: Set up a WordPress blog. Tweaked it until I was happy with the layout and functionality. This is the "dynamic" part of my Web site. The rest gets updated only as needed.I set up a loose "editorial schedule." It is okay to deviate from it, and it is okay to post more often than once a day. But if stumped for "what to write about" the schedule provides a framework and suggests general types of posts or topics.Scheduled posts ahead of time w… Read how I did it…

How to get CPR and first aid training with my son
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel more prepared.

How I did it: We signed up to take a class at our local volunteer fire department. The class included training and American Heart Association certification in CPR/AED/First Aid, and it lasted about six hours. I hope neither of us ever has to use this training, but I'm glad we have it. Read how I did it…

It's scheduled and my phone reminds me... 15 months ago

Three mornings each week I wake up at 5:45 AM to “Hey Mama” by the Black Eyed Peas and ride the stationary bike for 30-40 minutes (175-200 calories). I’ve managed it only twice this week; first time, I got overzealous and injured a calf muscle. But this morning, I honored the commitment, made a fiber smoothie for breakfast afterwards, took a long and wonderfully refreshing shower, and got to work fairly early.

The other four mornings I get to sleep in a bit and wake up to Cat Stevens’s “Morning Has Broken.” I’m getting myself trained…

More gadgets = more productivity?? 15 months ago

Maybe.

I’ve just taken some time to sync my personal and work Outlook calendars and tasks to my new SE W580i cell phone. IF I remember to do this regularly, I should have calendar, contacts, and to-do list at hand no matter where I am.

The trick is to remember to look, track, and USE the information.
