There is nothing better then to re evaluate where you are once in a while.
When things get busy or backed up. Stop. Re think what you need to do, not nesscessarily what you want to do. There's a big difference, and make your step by step planner.
Plan out your time wisely, so that you time is spent NOT wasted.
I did enjoy my barbeque patio this past weekend, but not for a pary. I sent eveyone down to the pool, and I cleared the patio deck, and table for me and my books. I took notes, read, and prepared all my references that I wanted to start reading to gather information for my essays.
Also, with regards to the blog topic this unit. It would not bother me if I was quoted or if my works were used in someone elses paper and I was not cited, however, it would bother me if I was not cited in a book, and profits were made.
I don't mind the "free", in freedom of speech. (for the good of mankind) I just don't like others passing off ideas as their own for their own selfish needs. Give credit were crredit is due. ;-)
