Fun travel apps are Skype (for calling home), SimplyNoise (great for sleeping in noisy places), Sit or Squat (find a bathroom), and CheapGas. My Kindle app is a lifesaver while traveling. Having VAs I can simply fax order forms to. I am writing my blog post in one now in ABQ while waiting for my plane. Another life saver?

Take classes, read a book, read current events about new trends that are happening in your field. See what you can change about yourself, don’t try to change others.
