6 Tips to Help Ignite Your Creativity and Increase Your Success
When it comes to achieving success on the Internet or anything in life for that matter, it probably isn’t a secret that having some capacity of creative spark or talent can increase your chances of attaining your goals.But what makes some people more creative and successful than others? Is creativity something genetic and does that mean those who aren’t blessed with this gene are doomed to never be creative or successful?Well the simple answer is that creativity is something which we are ALL born with but some people lose it more than others as they grow older. If you observe young children playing you’ll know what I mean when I say we all start with a propensity for some kind of creativity which is usually fueled by curiosity.Many people lack a creative spark because they stopped doing the simple things which leads to creative ideas in the first place.Most people, as they grow older start to develop bad habits or a limited mindset maybe because they are in a job they don’t like or a difficult financial situation. As time goes by, the curiosity they had when they were children diminishes and with that so does creativity.Instead of using their ...

10 Tips for Self Employed People to Stay Organized & Productive
If you are self-employed and regularly work from home, then you might sometimes find it difficult to stay organized and productive. When you work for a traditional employer, it's a simple matter to settle into "work mode" and to get your tasks done every day, but working from home requires quite a bit of discipline. Here are 10 tips to help you stay organized and productive.1. Keep a Tidy Workspace If you have a messy workspace, then you can feel less motivated and more stressful. It's important to have an area dedicated solely to work and to keep that area free from clutter. 2. Set Goals If you know what you need to do every day, then you are much more likely to accomplish it. To-do lists are a must for the self-employed person. You might want a daily do-do list as well as a weekly to-do list. 3. Exercise It's tough to stay productive if you are always feeling tense and stressed. Exercise not only helps you get your mind off your work for a time, but it also keeps your brain in top shape to help you solve the important problems that come up in your work.

15 Most Useful Microsoft Word Shortcuts that You Probably Don’t Use
I am sure most of us use the 'Ctrl+c' and 'Ctrl+v' shortcuts to copy and paste in word but here are some extra word shortcuts for word users that will significantly improve the editing efficiency when using Microsoft Word. This list is not comprehensive but these shorcuts save me the most time. 1. Shift + F5 (Returns to the last edit point) Very useful when you have to copy some text from other parts of the document and you want to return to where you were in order to paste it. 2. Shift + F3 (Changes the case of any selected text) This word shortcut is very useful when you want to toggles through the capitalization options. If you have a few lines of text in all uppercase and you want it to be in lowercase then this shortcut should make your life heaps easier. 3. Ctrl + Enter (Inserts automatic page break) It's amazing how many people use manual page break (Press enter key repeatedly to bring some chapter/line to the next page)! Manual page break is a maintenance nightmare cause as soon as you enter a line in the document you will have to manually fix all the other pages again. Use page break ...

Remindr is a very useful web based service that will send you automatic notifications in the form of an email, cell phone message or in twitter at a prescheduled time and date. There are a number of similar services like 'Remindr' that are out there but I really like Remindr because of it's simplicity and ease of use.'Remindr' basically helps you remember things by reminding you of tasks that you wanted to complete by pinging your cell phone, email, twitter account and gtalk account. Sometimes even with To Do lists and Post Notes, it's very easy to forget to complete the tasks in a timely manner. This is where 'Remindr' comes into play. This service allows you to increase your daily productivity. Here is why I like 'Remindr'No need to create any account to use the service. Just visit the site and schedule a reminder No need to worry about timezones (It uses your local time) The user interface is very neat and easy to use.
