A little housecleaning (perhaps 5 hours total) made a world of difference in how I work!

I got to see how my past was influencing my present and was able to remote the restraints that that imposed on my life and find new possibilities for life that inspire me and those around me.

The blog also helped me clarify some product ideas and get testers for the first product. For what it's worth, the previous year's most worthwhile event was speaking at a conference. I think it was more the slideshow than the talk, however. I put the slideshow on my site and it became slightly viral.

For what it’s worth, the previous year’s most worthwhile event was speaking at a conference. I think it was more the slideshow than the talk, however. I put the slideshow on my site and it became slightly viral.

Trying to compete for freelance web design jobs on craigslist. Even after weeding out the obviously ridiculous posts, most everything is from people trying to find a bargain rather than quality work. That doesn't tend to work out very well for someone who won't cater to the lowest common denominator. :-) Biggest waste of time for me? Trying to compete for freelance web design jobs on craigslist.
