WE all need to remember the basics. And remember that the real tool is the brain! Have you considered the wonderful Moleskine journals -- the great notebooks favored by Hemingway, Picasso and others? I carry one around everywhere to jot random thoughts, plan posts or just make notes. Little easier to carry than a yellow legal pad, but I have lots of those too. Excellent post.

When it comes to surfing the internet on work hours - this happens everywhere. When I worked for the DoD, we had to monitor the networks constantly and block everything under the sun. Myspace got popular; block. Meebo got popular (and smart, www2 www3 www4), so we blocked it. Not to mention many more....it's sad that people don't just do their job and then cause problems, but such is life.

Do you rearrange your furniture at home this much also? Again, cutting and pasting is out of the question. :( Great tool that Ticonderoga #2! You've brought me back to the days of my job of 10 years at an accounting office. Nothing but that would do on the green ledger pads we used for journal entries. I really enjoyed this post. It brings to mind a lesson regarding success and desire using a pyramid. The bottom statement is the end result, and from there you build up on what should happen before that. Before you know it you've got a plan! I personally adore my computer, and it's here that all my plans and stratedgies are mapped out before execution. Sorry to hear about the firewall at work. It seems many others in the workplace are facing the same challenge. I can't imagine how many hours working folk use their paid time to surf the web. I presume someone has caught on! Glad you're responsible and use your breaks. Well it seems you’ve changed things around again in here. Do you rearrange your furniture at home this much also?

I read only about 2 pages and that was all I needed to understand what it was all about. This is my slant on it! Thank you for the encouraging comment. Oh and just an fyi . . . I don't comment as much on your blog because lately I am doing most my blog reading on my breaks at work and there is a firewall against blogger.com MORE reason you should tend to that WP blog of yours! Remember I am ALWAYS willing to help, though it may be in fits and starts with my schedule. Thanks again for being a possibility thinker, you are truly one of the good brains out there!

I, too, believe that almost anything is possible if you want it, put your mind to it and have a plan. I do believe that people can change themselves for the better, too, at any time!! Great post!
