I remember when I first started looking at computer catalogs back in the late 80s.  There was a 540MB hard drive for sale that I found fascinating.  It seemed like a limitless amount of storage and I remember dreaming about what type of huge business you could run with that amount of storage space. Of course now that is even less data that can fit on a single CD rom and many programs come on multiple DVDs now days.

Procrastination is the first hump we have to get over to do something. Here is a trick to get over procrastination. If there is something you don’t want to work on, promise yourself to start the task and work on it for 15 minutes and then you can quit.

Everyone knows that being more organized can save time.  But it can also save you a lot of money.  How many times have you had to go out and buy something just because you couldn’t locate it in your house?

When I was in high school, I wanted to get a computer.  Computers weren’t nearly as inexpensive as they are now days.  The one I wanted represented about 15% of my fathers yearly salary at the time. It was much more expensive than what I could reasonably expect to save during the summer–even with taking on some extra odd jobs and saving every penny possible. I really wanted to have a computer when I started the next school year, so I decided to make that my primary goal for the summer.

Everyone gets older, but have you ever wondered why? Our bodies heal themselves, so why do organs eventually fail? The answer is fascinating. Our cells divide and make duplicates of themselves, but each time this occurs there is a section of the DNA that gets a little bit shorter.  DNA replication starts at the middle and a bit of the ends don’t get copied. These sections are called telomeres. Telomeres are basically end caps to the information in our DNA.  If this was important information for creating a new cell, then the duplicate cell would be incomplete.
