I had been using Eudora for my e-mail for a very long time, as it was handed out as part of the computing package at my school, Cornell University. And then I disaster happened: while my mailboxes were compressing, I got an end-of-file error, thereby losing about half of the e-mails in my inbox. I didn’t learn my lesson at that point, however—it took a second time, losing most of my outbox, that I finally realized it was time for a change!

Less, Part 3: The E-mail Diet
Carnival of the Capitalists
Side note: I didn’t get a chance to enter in this week’s CotC nor have I been writing much this week. I have a sick 2-year-old right now, and the world pretty much stops for her.
This week’s Carnival of the Capitalists for January 29, 2008 is up at Bizosphere. This week’s host is cehwiedel from One Man Band. Of note in this week’s CotC:
Less, Part 2: Noise
I dropped the ads from my site.
In the end, it had nothing to do with the aesthetics or the influence, but with clarity. I simply felt the ads were distracting me from my true, internal reasons for having this site, and I couldn’t let that happen. The ads were removed, my purpose for this site has been reaffirmed, and all order has been restored.
Which brings me back to my continued goal of Less for 2008: Less Noise. By taking the time to reflect on my true goals and eliminate outside influences in my decision, I came up with the right decision for me—and that is what "less noise" is all about.

Less, Part 1: Time
I have been pondering my goals for this year in the past few weeks, and I have come up with one common thread: Less. How is less a goal, you might ask? Well, I think if I can retrain my habits to keep less in mind, I can actually get more of the things that are meaningful in life, and therefore make my life and my world a better place. So over the next month or so, I will be creating a series of posts that focus on the various ways in which I can aim for less in 2008.
Part 1: Wasting Less Time
When I think of time management, I don’t think of scheduling every minute of my day. Instead, I think of eliminating the things in your daily activities that don’t hold meaning and making room for the things that are important to you. Eliminating time wasters will make you a better and more productive entrepreneur. I’ve processed through my own life and the stories I’ve heard from colleagues, and identified some time wasters that I do during the day. Some of these may be funny to you, but I’m trying to be as honest as possible in order to help you identify and eliminate the time wasters in your own life.
Carnival of the Capitalists
Hello, and welcome to this week’s Carnival of the Capitalists for January 7, 2008. This is the first CotC for the year, and perhaps the last of its kind. This site, Small Business Essentials, provides information for small business owners and entrepreneurs on a variety of topics. My company is also available for hire if you need any services in the areas of web, print, marketing and/or writing. Contact me if you would like to discuss guest posting on your blog as well.
Out of 49 entries for this edition, these 26 were chosen according to the rules of the CotC and my own editorial discretion about what constituted quality. And now, on with the carnival:
