You've probably heard of the envelope budgeting system, where once you get paid, you put actual cash into different categorized envelopes. However, as you may have seen from a recent viral story, make sure those envelopes aren't anywhere near a paper shredder. 

Home automation is becoming quite popular, and a great way to get started is with the Philips Hue Light Bulbs. Today, Amazon is running a deal for $10 off the Color Ambiance product (it is available via Amazon Prime.)

I don’t have enough time. There’s not enough time in the day. Who has time for that? Do those statements and questions sound familiar to you? I recently reposted an Instagram from Gary Vaynerchuk at our handle, where he said, “oh you have time, you just picked something else.” Granted, we’re all going to have different schedules and different priorities when it comes to time management. We’re all looking for life “hacks” to improve our lives. Look on Pinterest, run a Google search, and frequently you’ll see many a post a site with a plethora of ways to get things done, or improve productivity. 

I’d like to open this up. What are your time management strategies? How do you find time to accomplish your priorities in the day? What are your thoughts on the above quote? If you’re listening on the Anchor platform, leave us a voice message, otherwise send an email to [email protected] and we’d be glad to share in a future episode. As always, thanks for listening!

At the time of this recording, it’s September 11th in the U.S., and with a potentially devastating hurricane headed for the East Coast, I wanted to take this episode to reflect upon acts of kindness. 

This morning, I shared to my social media platforms, a quote I found attributed to Aesop: “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” I would love to hear your favorite story about acts of kindness. Please check out the social media handles above and like, comment, retweet and share with your story as well as share this episode. Leave a voice message if you’re listening on Anchor, or email me at [email protected], and I would love to read and share it in another episode.

For this episode I cover how sometimes "stay-cations" can also be the best vacations as well!
