I have been off for the last few days but I have been busy trying to finish the renovation of the master bathroom. By the end of the day, I have been totally exhausted. In fact, I can’t wait to get back to work so I can rest. After a hot shower to wash off the saw dust and sweat, I find myself plopping down in my recliner and grabbing the Mac Book to relax. Fortunately, my online friends have been feeding me a some new Websites and articles to explore so I thought I would share a few that I have found interesting.
The first article is 50 Useful Mind-Mapping Tools for College Students. The authors say that they wrote the article to provide a “. . . list of 50 useful mind-mapping tools that are designed to help you see your ideas more clearly, analyze and outline research papers, become more efficient when you study, and get inspired to be more creative in your work.” If you are an organization freak like me, you will find a mother load of free software and tips for putting it to use in this article.
The article is located on the Associate Degree Website, a site loaded with tips and resources about getting an associate degree. They have a multitude of information about the types of online associate degrees and how to find the one that is right for you. The site has a clean look and it is very easy to use so take a look. Although the site focuses on obtaining an associates degree, they also the Quick Degree Finder also lists information about online bachelor and masters degrees programs.
Next is a website that is just fun to visit because we can all identify with its sentiment. It is easy to get so tied up with the bad things that happen in life that we overlook the small blessings we experience on almost a daily basis. This 1000 Awesome Things Website will help you refocus on the little pleasures and happy coincidences that will help make you happier and more relaxed.
If you are a traveler, you may want to check out the Oyster Hotel Reviews before you book your next trip. The website is emerging as a sort of Consumer Reports of hotel review sites. It is gaining notoriety for its candid and honest approach to hotel reviews from qualified and experienced journalists who document their stays through extensive objective reviews and hundreds of undoctored photographs.
Users can easily search the site’s growing list of hotel by category, price, special amenities, or unusual features. They have also compiled practical lists like “most family-friendly,” “most pet-friendly,” and “best value” hotels to more irreverent features like “best hotels for celebrity sightings” and “best hotels for a love affair.” The site is definitely worth exploring.
