If you are serious on your intention to double (or triple, or quadruple, etc.) your salary this means that you are going to earn a lot of money. One of the most crucial skills about money is its management. If you don’t manage your money properly it soon will not be “your” money.

For money management you can use an MS Excel table or even a sheet of paper. But why reinventing the wheel when you have some super-powerful software products that can help you manage your finances as effective as possible.

Most of all I love freedom. I want to be free and not to obey any limitations. One of the them I hate the most is the locality - the dependence of the place you are living at the moment. I want to be free to travel whenever and wherever I decide to go and not to be hold back by document folders, paper, heavy desktop PCs, etc. I don’t want to be location dependent.

You are location dependent if:

• Your main computer is a desktop PC or Mac.
• Your documents are put in folders in your cabinet.
• Your organizer is a 300-page notebook with dates and calendars.
• Your notes are written on countless yellow stickies.
• Your e-mail client is desktop-based.

During my practice, I have made some changes in this technology and I can tell you that it works (with or without my changes). In this post I am going to share with you my Bad Habits Demolition Sequence.

What is Post-it and What It Is Not?

All of us know the small yellow (or pink, or orange colored) pieces of paper that cover sometimes the whole desks, monitors and keyboards of our colleagues. I agree they are very cute, but they could be the killer of every effort for better performance. They could be a source of unlimited stress. They could remind us for important events, phone numbers, etc. But they could drive us crazy if used improperly.

Post-it has one single purpose and it is: “To temporary store short pieces of important information until it is recorded into a more secure storage!” That’s all! What the Post-it is not? The Post-it is not that “more secure storage”.
