New to board, Intoducing myself...
Hello all!
I am new to the board, joined today. I have been here thrice before (earlier this week). It turns out that I have entered into a major change in my life and it managed to spark a serious interest in me to "get it all right". ONE of the things I had on my list was to get my finances right. First I took steps to get all my bills onto one page so I could see them. Then I started to list all my debt totals on the one page. (YUCK!!!) Then, as I stared at the page and came up with ideas... I came up with a plan (one that I will share in coming posts as I get to know the board and the members get to know me). Essentially I focused in, did some research (thanks to this board I found some nice tools to help!), and set some goals. At some point, I might get all the details out in front for you all to see...but for now suffice it to say that I am feeling very serious about these things. I know me, how to motivate me, and keep me interested in things... Hopefully I can find a nice community here to get involved with such that I can keep things going in this particular area...heck, might even help me keep focused on some of the other things. For now though, I have given up sharing needles with bums under the overpass and unprotected S.. with ... uh, you get the idea- that is really all i have actually done, other than to analyze my situation and where i need to get to. Categories of improvements: Finances Health Fitness Time management (at home and at work) Progressing the "internet empire" I have been "working" on Possible education advancement Interpersonal relationships For time management I have already: Begun a regimented early wake up program that includes "conditioning" my body to get up exactly when I set my alarm. Cut TV out almost entirely...I have PLANNED events where I allow myself to watch TV (think sunday football or a DVD). Once the dust settles from those two transitions, I will have a better grasp on what time I have during the day. With it, I will build my schedules... (I must say this- no tv after work yields a significant quantity of time to sit at the computer, work on the house, work on the car, etc. I can see huge benefits already!) Thanks for reading this! Be Good!

Thanks for that wincrasher, there is a joke related to that...one that has nothing to do with this board/community. It is personal, and in some ways, rather crass so I will refrain from explaining.
