List of ways to efficiently work from home

Some of us who are blessed to be able to work from home on a full-time or part-time basis can sometimes find it hard to work efficiently due to the many distractions that can present themselves during the day. The lure of household chores, needs of children, phone calls from friends and family who just don’t get that “work from home” concept. Working from home can be more challenging than working in an office. Getting into an efficient routine, establishing guidelines for yourself, and boundaries for your friends/family are essential to success. Read More: https://goo.gl/KyoOot

List of reasons to LOVE stumbleupon

I recently discovered a new fun tool for exploring the internet. I did not take StumbleUpon as seriously as I should have until I felt the power of it myself. I had to see what this was all about. Here is what I have enjoyed so far.

1. StumbleUpon is a great way to find the website/blog pages, images, and videos that most interest you but that you might never have “stumbled upon” otherwise.
2. One day, my blog traffic quadrupled, thanks to one of my posts being stumbled. Read More: https://goo.gl/HAqFbR

List of reasons to love twitter

If you have not yet heard of Twitter, then let me be the first to introduce you to a very fun, new way to communicate with people from all over the world. You can be as familiar or anonymous as you would like to be. Many people who have already discovered Twitter claim to be addicts to this form of interaction. It is the ultimate chat room, although you don’t even have to say a word. Here are a few of the reasons I have made Twitter a daily part of my routine and recreation. Read More:https://goo.gl/xOKWpq

List of thoughts as a new work-out-of-the-home mama

It has been a couple of months now since I began to work in the outside world again. In the beginning, there was a lot of juggling, but now that we’ve gotten into some new routines, things are starting to be comfortable. In fact, I am feeling great! I dragged my heels about working. The only reason I even began to really consider it at this stage was because my husband was unemployed for several months. Here are some reflections on the state of things right now.

List of items to keep in your desk at work

I frequently find myself at work, wishing for things that would help to make me feel more confident and/or secure.  I am not talking about a bodyguard.  I mean items that I wish I had on me at that moment.

Oh no.  My boss wants to meet with me in his office?  It’s so warm in there.

What is that on my chin?  It’s so bristly.

Did my bra just break?  Do you think anyone will notice that I’m not wearing a bra?

As you can see, quite a few potentially hazardous things can happen at work, unless you are prepared with an emergency kit that you can keep right in your desk and pull out whenever the need arises.  Here are a few of the things that I keep in my kit. Read More: https://goo.gl/zfLRjr

List of steps to preparing for an out-of-town conference

Conferences have become a great way to meet and mingle with a group of people who have similar interests and pursuits. If you have a business, they are also a great way to let those people know of the benefits of your products or services. Twitter is frequently abuzz with conference-goers extolling the virtues of whatever conference is happening at that time. Recently, among the people I follow on Twitter, the Altitude Design Summit was much discussed.  In just a couple of weekends, Blissdom will be the conference that everyone is talking about.  A couple of weekends after that will be my first conference as an attendee instead of an exhibitor:  Mom 2.0 Summit!  I am too excited.  Read More: https://goo.gl/4lxGPH

List of ways to group people and information for future contact

With an abundance of ways to keep in contact with one another, sometime keeping names, numbers, addresses, and emails handy can be a daunting task.  Listing pieces of information in an address book or even on your phone can sometimes lead to confusion when it is time to search a person out.  For example, say you needed to contact your daughter’s assistant troop leader, but you can’t remember her name.

List of essential organizing products for your home office

Because my business in almost completely online, I have not needed that much space for my home office.  Basically, until recently, my home office has consisted of my favorite overstuffed chair, a matching ottoman to hold my laptop and my notebinder, and a small basket to hold my hole punch and pens.  As ListPlanIt has grown, I have begun to need a space with a little MORE ROOM, and space where I could get away from the hubbub of the house and concentrate on what needs to be done.  I now have a new office area in my home.  I am utilizing vertical space, which I love.   Here are some things from the Container Store that I have either begun to use in my office, or have added to my Items Needed page.

List of ways smead is a perfect complement to a busy home/office

While I believe there are products out there that can be useful to running a family, home, or business, I don’t spend a lot of time or money on them.  I am an advocate for assessing your needs first and then tackling the issues by researching what might work best for your system (or desired system) of organization.

When I was asked to take a look at some of Smead’s new organizing products, I first hesitated.  I despise waste, and what I didn’t want was another product to prove only mildly useful, hence making it not useful, and then adding clutter.  However, I took a quick look at Smead’s website and was impressed.

List of tips for work at home parents in the summertime

For children, summer vacation is the pinnacle of their year.  Swimming, playing, sleeping in, and being at home are a few of the things that epitomize childhood summers.  For parents who work from home, notions of summer vacation are a little different.   Those who operate a service business may need to spend much of the time away from home.  In this case, arrangements for your child(ren) must be made.  If you write or work independently from home, then you will have to be creative.  Here are some tips to work productively while children are on summer vacation.

list of steps to preparing for an upcoming conference or trip

I had the lovely privilege of attending Mom 2.0 Summit last year when it was in Houston. This year’s conference is being held in the Crescent City. My husband and I lived right on the bank of the Mississippi in New Orleans for 3 years while he was attending Tulane Law School. We were poor, but that didn’t keep us from enjoying the city with all its flavor. So when I heard that Mom 2.0 would be held there, I bought an early bird ticket 9 months ago.
