Get Organized. Stay Motivated. Enjoy Life.
Just noticed that The University Blog has posted a great compilation of exam success tips for students. I think it’s an excellent read, and find it relevant to many areas of your life which require your concentration, not just the exam week.
Here’s a link: Exam Success: Top Tips from Brilliant Blogs (I’m really honored to be among the brilliant company there, thanks for including my tip!)
I’ve been using the Evernote organizer for quite some time, it’s the best offline organizer I’ve seen – even the free edition. You can create, organize and easily search notes with text, web clips, images, handwriting and even digital ink!
Evernote guys have been working on online version of their organizer for the past few months, and have released the Evernote service as a private (invitation-only) beta. There’s a browser version of the service with web-clipping add-ons for typical browsers, and there are clients to access the Evernote Beta from Windows and Mas OS X.
For today only, the Giveaway of the Day site is doing a promotion of the Evernote products: you can download the latest full version of their Evernote 2.2 organizer (full version means you have a functionality which automatically recognizes and indexes text in all the images of your notes in Evernote, among many other improvements), and – the best news – you can get an invitation to the Evernote Beta service!
I’ve already activated my account, and you have 15 hours left to do the same if you’re interested. If you’re after the traditional Evernote software (regular price is $49.99, by the way!), be sure to download it right away as it has an activation which will only work for another 15 hours.
If you want to avail of these amazing offers, please go to the Giveaway of the Day: Evernote beta page.
I’ve just been told about a new list posted at College Degree website: The Top 100 Productivity and Lifehack Blogs.
I’m honoured to be a part of this list, and think that it’s yet another great compilation of the best resources available – go have a look as you never know what gems are waiting for you just a few clicks away.
Thanks, Amy, for letting me know!

We all have a voice inside our head that chatters to us constantly about the day-to-day situations we find ourselves in. It’s one of the main ways that we interpret external data by constructing conversations internally with ourselves. Although we all have this voice (or more often than not, several different ones) we have our own particular versions, some of which can be more helpful than others.
Did you know that 2 out of 3 people have no idea what their personal strengths are? Top achievers, in contrast, fully recognise their talents and develop them into strengths on a regular basis.
If you were looking for a chance to make a giant leap in self-improvement, then I’ve got great news for you!
It just so happens that Warren Davies from Strengths Research is investigating the effect of personal strengths development on happiness, and is offering everyone a chance to participate in his research.
I think a chance to recognize my personal strengths and be able to benefit from them the most for the rest of my life is definitely worth an hour and a half of my time, so I’ll probably participate.
