As a freelancer that’s still in school, I move back home for the summer into a house with my parents and three younger brothers; and we are all close in age.

With it’s search, star,…
At the beginning of the semester I wrote a post about staying organized with tasks lists, etc. One method I did not mention, but might be most prevalent, is GMail.
