Wow what a week

What a week it has been. I haven’t even slept in my own bed in like 6 days because I’ve been so busy that I wanted to sleep on the couch, where it would be uncomfortable and force myself to wake up to get back to work.

LifePlanner Screenshot Review

I decided that it was time to actually put a plan to my life. After a number of hours of searching the web trying to find that perfect application, I think I found something that will work well for putting together a life plan. I found this program called “Life Plan Writer”, which is currently at Version 5. Note, that no, I do not work for these people, I just thought I would write down my experience with their software....
