Organizational Tips




                                  

Hello everyone!

Today, I'm sharing a couple of tips on how to stay and/or become organized. Organization makes life easier...really, it does! Organization will enable you to find what you need when you need it. It will enable you to have a sense of control over your life. Organization will keep your mind alert and active. Organization is good!

Tip #1: If your life is out of control, maybe you need to write a timed schedule.

Now what is a timed schedule, you ask? Glad you asked. I think I made up the term, but you never know; someone else may have coined it before me.

A timed schedule is a written schedule with time limits assigned to each activity. Here are some examples of possible entries in a timed schedule:

1. Clean the kitchen- 45 minutes.
2. Vacuum the living room- 20 minutes max.

The Lord gave me the idea of creating timed schedules about three years ago when I was driven, disorganized, intemperate and overwhelmed. What a change timed schedules made in my life and in my family's lives! (because I became more available to help around the house). I haven't been using timed schedules for some time, but I might just start again at some point. I especially recommend this strategy for people who are living hectic, busy lives and who want to have a handle on their lives at home.

Note: Timed schedules will look different from person to person. We aren't all equally efficient at completing the same tasks. Some of us live alone; others of us have big families. The timed schedule is for you; it's there to help you to stay on track and to surround the responsibilities and hobbies you have.

Tip # 2. Use Evernote.

I LOVE Evernote. https://evernote.com/. This website (there is also an Evernote app) enables people to create online notebooks. In these notebooks, you can copy and paste links to web pages you want to or need to come back too. You can also simply type up notes. I like the fact that you can share your notebooks with others! I currently have approximately sixty-eight notebooks on Evernote. Some of my notebooks are very large.

 A big thank you to the creators of this amazing program. I highly recommend Evernote...especially to students, to people who are looking for jobs and for people with hobbies and/or ongoing projects. You can check out this page https://evernote.com/why-evernote for more info on the many ways in which Evernote may be useful to you...or even to your business or ministry! This page also provides info on the different plans Evernote offers.

Note: I use the "Basic" version of Evernote, which is free.

I hope that these tips have been helpful. I hope that all of us are either organized, or in the process of becoming organized. Let's be always growing, always learning, and always "in progress". God bless you all. :)

Tornado Roll Hair Tutorial

Image
Hello everyone. :) (One important note: I mentioned that I wear a panty hose on my head at night to keep my hair neat. I either tie up the legs or wear a panty hose that has had the legs cut off. I wouldn't want anyone to have the legs end up becoming tied around their necks during their sleep. That doesn't sound safe). In today's video, I am showing you all how to do what I have termed a "tornado roll" on stretched natural African-American hair. This style would not work so well on most freshly washed natural African-American hair. African American hair is generally not washed daily. My definition of stretched hair is the following: natural African-American hair  that has been twisted, braided or put in buns for more than one day and that has then been combed out dry. This style can be done with straight or wavy hair as well. The hair tools that I use in this video are the following: A wide tooth comb A bristle brush A pony tail holder A large jaw clip Bobb

Hello everyone, Today I will be sharing part III of the series I am doing on the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet. Up until now I have not shared any recipes for foods that can be eaten in this diet. I am happy to let my readers know that this diet can be very tasty and delightful. In this part of the series, I will be letting my readers know what some of my favorite dishes have been through the years, and I will be providing links to where you can purchase the cookbooks that contain the recipes for these dishes, if you are interested in trying them. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are vegan versions of very many kinds of foods.

The Amazing Benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet part IV

         Would you be excited if you learned that there is a diet that has been shown to help people to drastically improve, and even reverse, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and which also makes weight loss tremendously easier? Some medical professionals have come to see that the Whole Foods Plant Based diet can do incredible things for many of their patients: things that conventional medicine struggles to accomplish.  Today I will be sharing some free, online resources that give my readers scientific information on the benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-Based diet for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. I will also be sharing testimonials of people who have overcome obesity on this diet.       What I am sharing isn't a comprehensive ( comprehensive definition ) list of resources on these topics, but I hope that what I am sharing will be food for thought (that sounds like a pun!). As a friendly reminder, I am not a medical professional and what I am sharing is not a substitute fo
