Just Shut up and Work!
One of the biggest reasons that I don’t get things done that I need to is that I procrastinate and put things off till they absolutely need to be done. This is something I’ve been trying to remedy to make things less stressful on myself. I was talking to John Chow the other day I…
Crappy Weather!
Anyone can tell you this is true! The past few days here in Pittsburgh have been cold and rainy and it just makes me feel like lying in bed all day. Of course I cannot do that, even sitting here now writing this post I don’t feel like doing anything. My desk sits right in…
The Power of Endorsement
If you think of any product or service there is usually someone famous or popular in that niche endorsing that product. Why is that? Say it’s a hockey stick and one of the best hockey players Sidney Crosby says it’s a good stick. I’m sure a lot more people will go buy it the stick…
Why I Enjoy Trade Shows
I really love going to trade shows. Trade shows are events / expos where computer and electronics companies show off their products. Each company has a booth with their latest and most popular products. I usually only end up going to one trade show a year, CES in Las Vegas. Trade shows are usually expensive…
My 20 Hour Work Week
As I said before I have started to log my hours. The main reason for this is because I feel like I’m not getting enough work done. So what better way to see if I’m actually doing work than to log my hours. So over the past week I setup an excel sheet to log…
Tips on Releasing Content

Being Productive Means Being Healthy
I’m sure most of you have had days where you didn’t feel like doing anything. I felt like this all last week. When you don’t feel good or are tired it shows in your work. You get less done, it’s not the quality that is expected of you and because you get less done you…
Easy Ways to Promote Your Website
Website promotion is not always the easiest thing to do. I know that I have had trouble promoting websites in the past. A lot of people who are starting websites do not have a lot of money to work with, and I am the same way. After spending the money on design, coding, and hosting…
Logging the Hours
So if you didn’t notice this week I have been extremely lazy in updating my blog. It’s not because I have a ton of work or anything like that, it’s just because I have been lazy and unmotivated. It has been really hard to get motivation lately, the weather has been horrible here and traffic…
One Step at a Time
One of the biggest problems I have is that I think too much. When I am working on something I will be thinking of what I need to do next, a day later, or even a week later. All of this thinking makes me less productive and can even stress me out at times. Sometimes…
Using a Daily Routine to Maximize Work
Since coming back from vacation it has been hard to get used to working again. So I have setup a daily routine to help me get back to work. It has really proved to be very effective and I’m now getting more work done then before I went away. My daily routine starts when I…
Motivation: Movies
Sometimes it is hard to get motivated to do work or start a new project. One good way to become motivated is to watch a movie that will motivate you. A lot of movies can motivate you, they don’t even have to be about what you are doing. I always have a few movies lying…
Be Productive on the Weekend
For most people the weekend is the time to relax and just take time off from work. Usually I try to do the same, but what I should be doing is being productive. Weekends are usually slower for internet traffic so I usually don’t post reviews on the weekend, I try to relax and work…
Brainstorming
Why is brainstorming important? I think for me it allows me to come up with quality posts and content. I see a lot of bloggers writing impulse posts. These are quick posts that they have thought up that day and post right away. Now there is nothing wrong with impulse posts, but I feel that…
