Three Rules for Success
First of all, success is what you make it and it depends on you how you define it. There are several universal rules that need to be followed and that never change. Rule number one is to never give up. When the going gets tougher, you will need to dig deeper to really embrace this never giving up rule. The key is to do something that uses your leverage and feeds into your purpose. Success will take time and perseverance. You need to have the drive to figure out other solutions that work. Another rule is to follow your gut and trust it. You need to learn that your instinct is there for a reason and embrace it. Lastly, do not play it safe. You have to be able to take risks because otherwise you will never progress. If it fails, you can use that grit and never give up attitude to think of another solution. When it comes to web development or mobile application development, it take trial and error to perfect it. Go out there and chase your dreams and success will come.

Taking Back the Mornings
There are certain things that are better and worse to do when you are trying to take back control of your mornings. You should plan ahead by per-programing the coffee maker, choosing your clothes for the next day, and having a to do list ready for the morning. As for the morning, make sure that you get up around six or earlier. Before you get into bed, make sure that all of your electronic devices and mobile applications are off at least 90 minutes before going to bed. Once that alarm clock rings, do not hit the snooze button and set a routine so you get your mind going and moving forward. Speaking of moving, you should get your blood moving and then use your first thirty minutes on the most important things that need to get done. Make sure that you spend some time on breakfast with the most important people in your life and realize just how lucky you are.

Faster Internet
There is nothing worse than waiting an extra ten seconds for your page to load. The things that can run through your head in those seconds. Some researchers played around with lasers and we might have ourselves a much faster internet. Aside from waiting for things to load or to be able to download with lightning speed, faster internet means that internet phones will work better because the quality will be better. Score for unified communications. What sets this laser apart from previous iterations is that the zinc
oxide nanowire material used to develop the lasers is placed on silver
instead of glass, which is traditionally used. The ultra-thin laser produces as many as 1 trillion pulses per second, making it much faster than your run-of-the-mill laser. With faster speeds streaming will be much better as well. As for the cost of using such a laser when it is implemented, it is still unknown. Either way, it could really impact the web and its speed.

Blocking Your Schedule
If you are running a small business, during the week there are many different things that you might have to do. These different things probably require different skill sets and would mean that you have to put on different hats. If you change your mindset too many times throughout the day, you may be wasting unnecessary energy. One of the solutions is to write down the tasks that need to be done in a week and block together the tasks that require similar skill sets. Sometimes your organized schedule gets disrupted. If you have travel or
personal disruptions, your blocked out calendar may lose its shape. You
can still apply these principles though. Maybe you take Monday off and
start your blocked schedule on Tuesday, or you take your most important
blocks and you move them around your personal appointments. Blocking your tasks will enable you to focus on the important things that you need to get done and get you into certain mindsets so that you are more productive, such as one day for creating and another for meetings and video conferencing.The bottom line here is to take time to plan.
