Yes, life is supposed to be full of trial and error, but this lets you find the best areas for you to experiment with.

One important thing that lockdowns and quarantines taught us is that just because business has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s because it’s the best way.

As a small business owner with a fleet of vehicles and motorcycles, it’s essential to make sure that your fleet is properly insured, just as you would your personal car or bike.

T he US has a housing problem. Not only are there too few homes, those that we have are gluttons, using almost twice as much energy per home as those in Europe. Only Canada’s homes — most of which endure long and biting winters — use more. America’s leaky, inefficient homes produce nearly one-fifth of the country’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, a number that has probably crept higher as the pandemic has kept people at home.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the number ‘six’ lately. I’m not sure if that’s because of my love of hexagons (because they are the “bestagons” ) or what, but the idea of grouping things in sixes is appealing to me. It’s more than a couple or a few – six sounds more like several and that makes me feel like I’m being plenty [reductive if I handle six significant tasks each day.
