Title Tweak

“dismantling efficient living, online entrepreneurship & living your dreams in great detail”

i thought this more directly detailed what i report on and write about, and how i write.

it also reminds me that although the last 2 years have been focused on building an online business, i’ve also been learning more and more about creatively accomplishing things you would call a “life goal” or dream, in addition to consciously being smart about living cheaply and efficiently, and those things deserve more attention in writing on the road to financial freedom.

 

New Plugins

Cute Profiles – [Floating Profile Wordress Plugin] The name doesn’t exactly fit, but the plugin floating to the left is new and works well. I had to modify it so it was fully visible not partly transparent and unattached from the side. I’d also like to re-arrange the buttons but oh well, it works well enough.

The thought process behind it is to show an ever present link to other networks. I know there are share buttons for sharing viewed content, but I’ll stick to keeping that at the bottom of an article as a next action users can perform if the reader liked the content.

 

New Sidebar Elements

  • Profile Buttons
  • Business Goals
  • Personal Goals (lifelines)
  • Current Hits (most popular) and Recent Posts
  • New Resources (affiliate links, and i believe in and use every one of them)

As mentioned in my recap post, it’s time to get back to the roots of this project. Life designing, and notes on how it’s done.

Life Designed | 537 Days In, What Has Worked

ResourcesDay CounterTimeline 3D

I started this blog 537+ days ago. Wow. It was 3 days after my 25th birthday and I was out to test some theory’s on living. Theories that proposed ways to make life less of a grind, open up avenues to put dreams and goals on a real timeline, and become financially free.

The days have abounded with life tips, tricks, mental re-training, challenges, re-lapsess, and forays into online business where anyone can be a content provider. I’ve met authors, saved hours and hours of wasted time per week, sold products I made, and others I haven’t, minimized my material belongings, made friends (real and online), lived out some dreams, reaped business connections, been insulted by web celebrities, proved the money is there to be made, and much much more. And for the most part, Continue reading →

Guide the Future and Eat a Good Breakfast

It’s been a while since I’ve taken a snapshot of how things are going at The LDP project. There are some solid resources The LDP has been featured on lately and a few behind the scenes workings that I’d like to share about. In fact, as what usually happens, there’s more than a few things going on behind the scenes and a few directions we can focus on going into the future. I need your help with that. Check out what’s going on around the project and influence where we go from here in today’s post PLUS a time saving breakfast batch secret I just discovered AND a video in which I chug a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi Max. It’s like 3 posts in one! You’ve been warned. Continue reading →

As the Adword testing of my information product flies around the interwebs I wanted to offer you some more varied experiences at The LDP in the next coming weeks. I’ll be adding to my Monday posts randomly throughout the week with some different lifestyle design topics, features and insights. I hate to break continuity on our income stage so I’ll do my best to keep things related, but hey that’s what blog categories are for. Continue reading →

The LDP | Update: Slowed, Not Stopped


I’m afraid the LDP will be indisposed for this Mondays post at an all week event. I’m sorry! There’s still plenty going on under the hood. Most notably, freedom business updates and the New 4 Hour Work Week Giveaway. More to come as 2010 embarks. I’m psyched!

If you’re feeling now’s the time to make some changes in your life, shed bad habits and make real strides toward more time, freedom, and financial liberty take a look at a previous post entitled How to Reboot your Brain and Regain Life Control. It’s a stellar practice for seeing where you are, and gaining clarity for the next steps on your path. It might just what you need if you’re looking for that fresh start feeling in the new year.

FREE TREAT! If you’re a fellow wordpress blogger and are always looking for creative images for your posts, here’s a true gem. Photo Dropper is a plugin that searches up free to use, creative commons Flikr images from within the WP compose screen. Sick. http://www.photodropper.com/

Cheers!

The LDP | News, Updates & a Giveaway!

It’s time for some updates on the goings and comings here at The LDP. First I’d like to thank my readers for their comments, their encouragement and their engagement. I’m simply blown away by the impact made on myself, the community here and the life design community as a whole. Doors have opened, friends have been made, goals have been met and reforged. I owe you guys everything. Relationships are fuel! The holiday break here in the wintery US North Eastern region is just about to set in and that actually means they’ll be more changes around here than less. Take a peek at what’s to come in 2010.
