The co-founder, Gaetano Caruana, of FruitfulTime, publishers of a task/list manager software for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista, wrote to me and asked me to review his product.

Disclosure: I received a software license in return for my review and Gaetano assured me he wants my unbiased and impartial review only because anything less would insult my readers’ intelligence.

You’re smart, folks. So here it is.

Part 1 — Stop Procastination Now eBook

FruitfulTime comes in a .zip compressed download package bundled with a free Adobe .pdf eBook.

I found this book very valuable personally. Your mileage will vary.

It arrived at the right time for me, when I was at last begining to see personal results from my new commitment to self-management, often misnamed “time” management.

You may delay, but time will not.

I came across an interesting article about writing “affirmations” to help you achieve by Scott Adams.

You know, the guy who writes the Dilbert comic strip:

“But some of my goals involved neither hard work nor skill of any kind. I succeeded with those too, against all odds.”

— Scott Adams

It reminds me a lot of the “Autosuggestion” concept in this “Think and Grow Rich” audio by Napoleon Hill I’ve been listening to recently.

I’m going to do it, or something close to it.

Well, I moved away from the template and designed what you see.

Of course I used and modified others’ code in a lot of cases. Like the navigation tabs at top. Thanks Stu Nicholls of CSSplay.

I used a text editor. In other words, something like Windows Notepad. Very cool.

A few years ago, I didn’t know more than how to use a computer to make a good resumé and now, I’ve a decent site on the net and I know how it works.

Except for the parts published by Blogger, it validates as valid XHTML and CSS. I think it looks good.

So yes, I’m proud of myself today. Now to put it to good use.

The exact wording of my mission is a proprietary secret and besides, it could change. I came up with this wording while writing this website.

But it has the the words, “… salesman, helping other people succeed,” in it.
