My Photography Sucks!

If you didn’t know already - my computers hate me. But I kept on going and figured out that my computers dislike for me was actually a blessing in disguise. Now I’m sure you’re wondering how I figure a rickety old computer that takes 1000 calories just to turn on is a blessing in disguise. Let me tell ya…

Without a desktop computer I had to do some rearranging and my laptop has since become the dominant computer in the room. I was just thinking…what can I do with this spare monitor..then it came to me! USE IT! I hooked the spare monitor up to the back of my laptop and wham! Extended Desktop baby!

Boost Your Productivity By Running Dual Monitors

Since I’ve been running dual monitors I’ve actually been getting more work done everyday. It’s pretty simple..I can do 2 things at once. I can be in 2 places at once. It helps so much the only way you can really understand is if you set it up for yourself.

Somedays I have it so one of my screens keeps Tweetdeck up so I can stay social while I work. The perfect mix of work and play at the same time can actually keep me refreshed rather than staring at a blank screen trying to figure out what to write.

If you’re not running dual monitors yet and you work-at-home you should definitely try it. You can have your email open on on monitor and whatever you’re working on on another monitor. You don’t have to constantly click between tabs and it helps you stay more organized.

If you combine The 7 Day Plan and utilize Dual Monitors you’ll be onto something

It’s definitely working for me as I’ve almost finished my eBook. You’ll be pumping out more work once you get used to it and realize it’s definitely worthwhile. The more productive you are – the more money you’re going to make, so try it out. Oh yeah, here’s a screenshot!

I’ve told you all my plans already about writing an E-Book sometime last year. I hadn’t had the chance to settle down and begin writing it until recently. Since it’s my first E-Book I decided not to make too long. I’m looking to write something short, informative, and useful for people who are trying to make a couple extra hundred bucks a month using Google’s Adsense.

So I decided I’m going to go by  My New Years Resolution: The 7-Day Plan. Tell me you’ve tried it before? So far I’m on Day 2 of my 7 days and I’ve written two chapters. The book is coming along well and should be finished within 2-3 weeks. The point is to finish the rough draft within 7 days.

I’m excited about the launch and even if things don’t work out. It’s all about putting yourself out there and giving yourself opportunities. At least I can give it away for free to people as a reference guide to making a couple dollars on the side. Good thing I’m not printing it out because I don’t want it to be used as a substitute for toilet paper

I was reading The University Kids post on how 20% of your time yields 80% of your results. If you think I’m taking more than an hour and a half on a chapter, you’re mistaken. I have a list of goals to complete everyday in order to become a success on the internet and with this blog. I’ll list them out in the future.

7 Days – 7 chapters is the goal. Have you tried the 7 day plan yet?

You’d be surprised what YOU can do in just 7 days.

I was over on one of the Blogs I frequent, chrisbrogan.com, and he recently upped a post named “The Importance of Play and Work.” It was quite a passionate video where he explained how play and work go hand-in-hand and how some of the most successful companies, for example Google, have had great success by using such a technique.

I work hard. That’s pretty much what I do, work hard. But I definitely find time to play. Don’t let your life get bogged down by work so much that you’re not even enjoying the money. Enjoy yourself, enjoy your life, and if work is getting way too stressful, take a break.

What people don’t realize is when you’re working at home/hustling online, it’s not easy. It’s not a kickback and relax job in any sense, shape, or fashion. You spend hours everyday on the PC reading, learning, doing, and by the time you know it, the day has passed you by.

So to everyone on their hustle – whether at home or at the workplace – remember to take some time out for yourself. You’ll find that it’s so much more refreshing and your productivity level will skyrocket.

That’s my two cents anyway. Hustle & Play = Get Paid.
