"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is a commonly quoted saying, but how many of us procrastinate taking actions we know would save us much headache? Making a home inventory of your home is one of those "ounces of prevention" every homeowner should insist upon doing. Why should I take an inventory? Imagine for a moment a tragedy you’ve heard about recently – hurricane damage, flooding, wildfires – and think about the damage done to the homes involved. We all consider important to install things like fire alarms and smoke detectors, and home owners insurance is a must, but have we considered all the money we’ve spent on the possessions inside our homes? Consider now what would happen if your home was destroyed. Many of us a...... - 2008-09-03

» How To Implement A Time Management Strategy For Better Productivity
I've often been asked why my life seems so organised. When this question was first put to me I didn't know how to respond. My first impression was..."gee, am I so obviously anal?" When I sat down and thought about it I realised it had nothing to do with being anal. More to do with good time management and it's something I learnt very early in life. You see, having a good time management strategy is not rocket science. It's about implementing a routine in your day to day life that is flexible. That's important. It's when you become inflexible that frustration and stress sets in and strategy "flies out the window." Today, as a web publisher, my time management strategy continues to serve me well in fact, on most occasions I'm not even awar...... - 2008-09-03

There is one thing most bankrupt people have in common-collection accounts. However, it's been my experience that most bankrupt people want to do the right thing and pay off the account(s).
