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…

Back on the Smartphone
A few years ago I purchased an Audiovox SMT5600 smartphone. At the time it was the world’s smallest smartphone and I loved it. This was before AT&T went over to Cingular. Once the switch happened I had to get a new phone. I ended up getting a Razr. I have been happy with it, but…
