All of us use WordPress and all old-bloggers know “everything” about it. But new bloggers are appearing every day and most of them are novices to blogging and WordPress itself. With this post I want to make it easier for everyone to download and install WordPress - everything is described in step-by-step manner with many snapshots.

And I’d like to ask all of you - new bloggers - forget about the free solutions, forget about Blogger-type-shit.

A few days ago I’ve found an interesting link while I was browsing through Jarkko’s blog. It’s about a book. A very cute book actually, with the strange name - “Todoodlist. Technology is great. Pencils are better“.

As the price was decent - only $14 - I bought it and start reading. And I surprised for good.

I always try to perform all of my tasks as fast as I can and – at this moment – I can proudly say that I am like Speedy Gonzales. I move my mouse and click fast. I write on my keyboard fast. I even talk and walk faster than others. Why I am doing that?

Every day my tasks’ list contains 10 to 20 serious tasks. Every task takes time and I need to be really fast if I want to finish all of my tasks within a working day. I do not work at evenings, at nights or at weekends.

I’ve seen an interesting picture-story at FreelanceSwitch - the Freelance Freedom #29. It is about using headphones on your workplace. Maybe all of us use them and I made a small research about their use and effect of productivity and performance. Here are the results…

All hours of the day are not equal for you and your productivity abilities.

There are parts of the day when you are at your peak level of productivity and strength. You are unstoppable. But there are hours when you are lazy, you are slow and even feel yourself “stupid”.

How to use these periods of superior and poor activity in order to improve your efficiency and do more things, do them better and with less effort?

These boxes are your folders and in this post I will present you the structure of my personal folders that organize my life and give me the freedom to live out of the box, because all things are on their right places.
