Books. Some people love them. Some people hate them. Some people love to read. Some people hate to read. Some people prefer non-fiction. Some people prefer fiction.

Tip #3 – Keep a running grocery list. Put this list on your refrigerator, on your office desk, in a cupboard, wherever it is the most convenient. This way, when it is grocery time, you will know exactly what you need. Kristin’s Action Plan: I have a notepad that I tape onto the fridge and add to…
What: Learning talents of old Why: Do you have dreams of learning to crochet, knit, darn socks, sew, or even cross stitch? I realize that some of these skills are past their prime and they may not be as useful as they once were. Is that desire still there, though? Do you look at that afghan laying…
Think back over your life. What have been the “ah-ha” moments of your life? The times when you have found yourself changing the most? Usually it’s after a big life event.

What: Water Bottle Why: There is a lot of debate about using plastic water bottles vs. reusable bottles. To use them or not to use them? Whatever you use, it is still easy to collect and store water bottles that you don’t need – this may even be the plastic ones. Time to clear the…

Great post. I have an iPad which I love. It replaced my laptop when it died. I work at home & my job provides the work PC. I have a cell phone but don't have a smartphone. I'm tethered to my computer all day so I like being away from it when I'm out & about.
I like this! Being able to step away IS a beautiful thing!
I love having a smartphone and it would be hard to live without once you get used to it but it is a convenience not a necessity. I moved up from a tracfone a year ago but still don't have a regular data plan. I mostly rely on wifi. So much is spent on expensive plans and high end phones.
The biggest negative I see is the distraction they are when with other people. Way too easy to keep checking phones or messing with them instead of spending time together.
That is exactly how I feel – once you get one, it would be hard to go back :). I agree too, that they can be a distraction – but I realize that even with my tracfone, I can easily pick it up and text someone, when with other people. It's a reality check and it's always something to think about! Thanks for sharing!
