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.

First, the book is beautiful - very good print design, I like it. I’ve started my career as a graphical designer and I always consider design at first place.

The other think that I liked with this book was the idea. I have a very busy day-to-day life and organizing my tasks have been always an issue for me. I’ve been using a lot of personal/time management systems and even have created some by myself. So, as I started to read the book I was pleased to discover that the techniques and strategies are simple to use and powerful. They are fun, too.

As I was reading Daren’s site, I read the post about the three little blogs. This increased my interest and I visited the original site to read the story. It was a nice surprise for me not to find “just another word press blog” but a lovely and funny web site.

I have read some posts and I got excited of the well-written stories and the fine use of metaphors to present serious topics as blog management and marketing, for example.

So, I would like to present you the Bloggrrl.com blog.

Visit it and have fun + learn some interesting things about blogging.

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.
• Your news is delivered by newspapers, I mean those made of paper.

Almost all of these problems can easily be solved by one single power. This is the power of Google.

Today I have discovered the Tumblr and I have fell in love. Tumblr is an online dashboard that allows you to publish:

• Text (regular posts)
• Photos
• Quotes
• Links
• Chats
• Videos

… and you can do it for seconds. I have been so excited by its simplicity and beauty that I have created a tumblr dashboard for my blog. You can visit it here or click on the grey button at the right column.
