After years and years of  educating ourselves in schools, and later colleges or universities, I believe many of us would have heaps of textbooks collecting on the shelves or store rooms.

Some people may prefer to just donate them, while others may find it better to sell them off and with the money they can buy new books. Talk about recycling.

If you are not into selling on ebay or amazon, here is another place online where you can sell textbooks or any other books that you would like to rid off. Visit sellbackyourbook.com. They even offer to pay for the shipping, on certain conditions of course. Find out more about how and what type of books they accept on their website.

Being a SAHM has its advantages and disadvantages. One main advantage is that you are a little bit more flexible when it comes to planning your day. But with that, there may be a little disadvantage too. You may digress a little from what you need to do. Well, at least for me. So for some days now I have implemented a new regimen in my daily life – write down a to do list.  I may not accomplish all in a day, but at least I can track down the things that I do everyday and the list reminds myself not to waste too much time on things that aren’t on the list.

My to do list for today:

• Learn and memorize 5 kanji characters.
• Post a package to friend.
• Complete my Japanese language homework.
• Look for job vacancies and submit my resume.
• Submit my sites to a free web directory
• Clean up the small store cabinet.
• Update my blogs.
• Re-organize my desk, drawers and shelves.

Having a to-do list is a good way to keep myself productive and avoid procrastinating. Further, I feel a lot better too seeing what I’ve achieved in a day.
