Is it possible to make money online or are you chasing that elusive dream. You want to work from home, but everyone else is trying to make passive money also. Sometimes it is possible, but there is always work or time involved. There isn't a free lunch. So here are some of the sites, that I've been following. Rev This is an online transcription site. It requires a test that takes a while to complete. Then it takes the time to get it graded. If you pass, there is work on this site. This site is easy to use, but I am still waiting for my results. Transcribeme I've tried it multiple times. I wouldn't waste my time, even though some people are reporting success. Right away I copied my transcription when I completed it. I never passed, but each time, I got a different grade for exactly the same copy. Something does not seem right about this test. If I am bored, I might continue trying, but I am not too excited about this sight. Iwriter: This is an article writing service. Yo...

Does HireWriter Pay? Hire writer is a site that does pay. I am a fast writer and I have been able to write some short articles. Realistically, I have been able to make a few dollars per week. Most of the 150-word articles, the people really want 300 words.  They just ask for rewrites to that amount.  That is kind of annoying because they are usually only willing to pay a dollar or two. So it limits how much I could get done in a few hours each day. They do charge a dollar for a processing fee to payout for Paypal.  I didn’t see that until I cashed out. It’s not unusual, I just wish I would have noticed that right away. The site so far seems legitimate, but it does have its drawbacks. The writing pay is low. The directions for the articles can be confusing. Sometimes they don't even make sense or are not doable. So pick your articles wisely. The time limit can be an issue.  If your article needs a rewrite they will start the time clock again. This doesn't always ...

Messy Desk Do you find your desk is a mess whenever you turn around? Is it a spot that just collects unfinished business? Too many items on my desk would make it too cluttered to get a spacial feel for where the item’s permanent place would be. It was just a clutter. Taking everything out to the bare minimum helps. Then when I go to put things back for a while, exaggerate the feeling. Make it big. Of course, if you're doing this around people, big actions might get a strange look or two, but it works.  The more awkward it is, often the biggest memory boost. I would love to have a product with a tray that is foam cutouts that I would push office supplies, such as the scissors and stapler into.  It wouldn’t move around or skate around my desk. And the physical feeling to it would help me remember it.  I think this is something I would love to develop.

If you want something better for your life you have to do something different. If you don't take control of your home and you want to have freedom for your mind, you have to think differently. Do you avoid putting things away because you are struggling with the motions. Does it feel physically wrong, because subconsciously you are avoiding you kinesthetic learning. We have been taught that our intuitive sense of organizing our life is wrong. We have learned to avoid our process and do it another way. And it doesn't work because it is not how our bodies work. We need to relearn our systems. We need to reboot our thought processes.  Take the step and you won't look back.  It will give you the control you want. You will be able to remember where you put your stuff, put it away effortlessly and stop resisting those routines that keep everything together.

Finding that I make sure I notice where my body position is each time I put something away. If I can recall the body feeling, the easier it is to remember where it goes. Think of something that you always remember to do. Maybe you always remember to put your keys away.  It’s because you can feel that key hitting the hook.  The keys are textured and make an imprint in your hand. This idea that the visuals maybe doesn’t have to be the key way of organizing is revolutionary. All the new ideas opened up to me. I was never taught to be successful. All the systems were set up on vision. What the desk looked like, what the files looked like. I needed to focus on organizing where something felt to my body. It’s a different skill set, that is not focused on in school. My list on kinesthetic learning in schools is a post that is to come.
