12 Productivity Tools for Your Small Business Ana Lucia Novak (@CyberDivaVA) had me as a guest this past Thursday on her OnlineSocialSmarts weekly show. The topic of the show was Small Business Time Management Tools. Not only do I love technology but I also love to figure out how to use that technology to make my life easier and / or more efficient, especially when it comes to my clients’ work. Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it. ~ Author Unknown As promised, here is the list of tools discussed during the show. Carbonite – at approximately $60/year this is by far the tool that provides me with the most peace of mind. Tools #11 and #12 work in conjunction with each other and the “how to use” would take much longer to explain than space (and my writing time tonight) allows. Using Google Reader and Dlvr.it in conjunction with each other allows me to hand-pick each and every post that goes through to Twitter for all accounts I manage.

GGF-001 Phoenix Gundam The GGF-001 Phoenix Gundam is an original mobile suit and one of the variants of GGF-000 Master Phoenix from the SD Gundam G Generation series which debuted in SD Gundam G Generation F. Its default pilot is Mark Guilder. Technology & Combat Characteristics The GGS-000 Phoenix Zero is believed to be the first prototype of the Phoenix series developed and was supposed to lead into the creation of the Phoenix Gundam. Not to be dissuaded efforts were instead concentrated on improving the GGS-000 Phoenix Zero, instead of abandoning it, and eventually this lead to the development of the GGF-000 Master Phoenix which was considered a success. While the Phoenix Gundam is considered a successful prototype it seems to have very few common features with other notable Gundams or even the GGF-000 Master Phoenix which it was also developed from. Later on the Phoenix Gundam would, at the hands of Mark Guilder, unleash its Full Power. Armaments Beam Saber Mega Beam Cannon Vulcan Gun Combinable Beam Rifle

8 Things Everybody Ought to Know About Concentrating — howtogetfocused “Music helps me concentrate,” Mike said to me glancing briefly over his shoulder. Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. On his desk next to his computer sat crunched Red Bulls, empty Gatorade bottles, some extra pocket change and scattered pieces of paper. In the pocket of his sweat pants rested a blaring iPod with a chord that dangled near the floor, almost touching against his Adidas sandals. On his computer sat even more stray objects than his surrounding environment. Mike made a shift about every thirty seconds between all of the above. Do you know a person like this? The Science Behind Concentration In the above account, Mike’s obviously stuck in a routine that many of us may have found ourselves in, yet in the moment we feel it’s almost an impossible routine to get out of.

5 Common Characteristics of Ineffective People I don’t know about yourself, but I’ve lived most of my life being oblivious to the fact that if you want to get the same results as somebody else then all have to do is do the same things that they did. In other words, people who get similar results have similar habits. Therefore, if you want to start a successful business then all you need to do is copy what somebody else did to start their own successful business. The rule really is that simple and yet I still feel like Einstein whenever I think about this. The matter of the fact is this rule not only works in terms of success, but also in terms of failure. You may not realize that you are suffering from ineffectiveness but either way you’ll soon find out as below are the 5 characteristics of ineffective people: 1. 2. 3.
