An Easy Way to Save Things to Read Later

One of my biggest distractions is that there is way too much interesting information out there!

 

I am an avid reader and I love books, magazines, blogs, websites, etc.

 

But there is a time for reading and a time for doing, right?

 

In order to stay focused on the task I want to accomplish, I found a handy free tool that allows me to save things to read later.

 

And if you have an iphone or ipad, you can even save it to read offline.

 

It is called InstaPaper.

You can drag a button to your tool bar that says read later and if you come across some sites you want to read, you can just click the read later button and it will store it for you.

 

I realize you can bookmark things, but this is more for reading something and you can decide later if you want to bookmark or save it.

 

You can also store emails, etc. that you want to read but don’t have time at the moment.

“What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.”

Oprah Winfrey

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

I hope you’ll remember to be grateful every day.

An Attitude of Gratitude

As far as I’m concerned you can’t have too many thoughts about gratitude so I’m going to give you a couple of quotes this week as we head toward Thanksgiving.

 

 

 

 

 

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”

 

 

 

Brian Tracy

 

 

 

What can you give someone else today?   A compliment, a hand, encouragement, or even just a smile.
