Browser for the Better

Until August 8, for every download of Windows Internet Explorer 8 Microsoft will donate 8 meals to Feeding America to help accelerate an end to hunger in this country. IE 8 is completely free and has some new cool features. My favorite feature since the launch of IE 7 is tabs. I love having multiple sites up and only one browser window open. I know Microsoft "copied" FireFox, but who cares. I like IE and am comfortable with it...maybe it's that chicken thing again... I also like the idea that downloading the newest version is helping someone eat. It's a win-win for me. I get a cool new tool and someone hungry gets food.

Life is a lot of work...

As I continue to feel drained of energy every night, I wonder if I'm managing my time well and keeping that delicate balance of work and life well adjusted. Its not the work/life balance that's the issue, it's my life is currently a lot of work. My husband and I are in the process of selling and buying real estate. If you've done this before, you know this takes a lot of energy! Every day I'm managing communication with bankers, Realtors and my husband, coordinating appointments and next action items, and let's not forget the paperwork.

My best energy is in the morning. By 1pm, it starts dipping and by 3pm, I want to take a nap. After slugging through the afternoon, I head home to cook, work on real estate tasks and/or spend time with the hubby or friends. I keep my energy up by working out frequently and eating well. but I can't get over that afternoon and evening slug time. I want to have more energy in the afternoon and evening, but can't figure out how to get it. What else can I do? What re-energizes you during your low times?
