Should I organize/schedule my life?

WakeUpKitty @WakeUpKitty (8694) • Netherlands 27 Aug 11

At the moment I have a hard time to organize my life. I have the feeling I am just hanging around or am busy with all kind of jobs which have nothing to do with me. I would love to start studying again and have some time for...

Sara Writes Time management and overall organization are big issues for me, too. I have become involved in Bulleted list journaling, which I posted about recently. There is a whole community about it which I am learning so much from. There are some books on this topic...

Sara Writes My husband and I used to look after a man kind of like that. It wasn't bipolar, it was a mild form of schizophrenia though. He was just a little bit "off." As the years went by, though, it got harder and harder to manage him and we finally had to turn him over...

Uh... Sweeba?

patgalca @patgalca (18398) • Orangeville, Ontario 19 Nov 15

Yes, you read that correctly - Sweeba. I was clicking on ads today (and before you tell me PTCs are a waste of time I have made more money on two of those sites than I have on paid-to-write sites combined), and I came across a...

Sweeba - Bubblews ?

shelly @shellyjaneo (1081) • United Kingdom 8 Dec 15

So there have been a lot of posts lately about whether Sweeba is owned by the people who owned Bubblews and whether anyone would try it and should it be trusted and so on and so forth. Well it seems as if no one wanted to try it...

Sara Writes Good luck! You never know, it could have it's flash-in-the-pan heyday like Bubblews did in the beginning! I wish I'd rode that wave a little harder back then. I say go for it! I may even test the waters myself, just to see what happens, knowing the risk.

Gabby Bugwadia @Gabugs (1895) • United States 6 Dec 15

Sara Writes I agree with all of the above! Deadlines stress me out big time. I just like to sit down, peruse what people are chatting about and let it inspire me to write something, then go back to perusing the site some more. It's fun! Getting paid for it is a pretty...

Dipping Rather than Swiping

marcyaz @Marcyaz (35316) • United States 1 Oct 15

If you have the new credit care you will probably will asked to dip it instead of swiping it like with your old cards. Not everyone has received their new cards yet and not all retailers have the new machines in place yet....

Sara Writes I have seen the new machines in a few places. I'm surprised it's not more, based on your comment about the merchant's being held responsible for fraudulent charges already! My former salon had the new one, but my current employer hasn't updated it yet. I'm...

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 9 Nov 15

So I guess my first posts will be about how this site works. I know that many of the members are very eager to help, so I might as well shoot some questions. Actually, when I first logged into this site months ago, I was asked to...

Sara Writes I've learned you have to choose wisely! Some of the links don't work right, either. I did make about $0.10 or so with it today though.

Have you ever thought of swapping your unwanted books...for new ones?

jenni7202 @jenni7202 (1598) • United States 17 Aug 09

I'm an avid reader, but I can never get books back to the library on time, so I don't bother with that. I also can't afford to buy new books all the time! So, I found some great ways you can swap your books for new ones online!...

Living on water

natnickeep @natnickeep (2336) • United States 25 Apr 11

Sara Writes FreedomShip sounds amazing. I don't know if I could handle it, even though I do love the water. I think I'd rather live on land on the shore of a beautiful lake somewhere.

I think cruising offers real vacation because the cell phones do not ring

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 6 Nov 15
