As I endeavor to become more efficient and more effective I constantly look for better tools and fantastic advice.

Blogs

Rich reviews information from two blogs that recently helped him work toward time management and efficiency goals.

Freelance Switch: Minimalist Time Management: Keep Your Day Open

The Wrong Advices: Offline Blog Editing Tools

Views

Rich talks about employers that block access to specific sites. There are obviously reasons for them to do this, but not all employees fit “under the blanket.” Rich noted there is a Facebook group called “Stop Blocking” for discussing this challenge.

Rich mentions the site Wheatware.com. Various products made from wheat and entirely biodegradable. He heard about this from Dave Jackson’s podcast “Musicians Cooler“.
