Plus it really is a good idea to give rewards after something good has been done and not as a hopeful bribe up front. Nice idea! Well done!

Nice idea! Well done!

Maybe I can come with another suggestion? I often find myself clicking on your big header image. I guess I do so because I'm used to header images leadning to home/front page, so maybe it would be cool if you header image behaved in the same way? Thanks for your reply to my comment.

Many of my ideas come in the middle of the night when all of the daily filters are gone. I have found that I need to write them down right then or they will be forgotten by morning. Having a pen and paper on the nightstand has been very helpful. Great idea about the comment plug-in, I've seen it on some other blogs and it is helpful to keep the conversation going. I'll look into it. John Thanks for the kind words, Rich. Many of my ideas come in the middle of the night when all of the daily filters are gone.

How do you get your ideas? BTW: It would be cool if you added e-mail notification for the comments, so us visitors could see replies to our comments. I have seen a plug-in for wordpress with this functionality, but I must confess that I can't remember where. Simply brilliant! How do you get your ideas?

What would you do if you had no money, lacked motivation, and had a million things to do? You would have to use your imagination for sure. To motivate my wife in that situation I would probably place a flower at the top of the tray. This would symbolize a walk in the fresh air, away from the projects and the mess. Just get one thing done and then get away from it all for a while. I'm sure she would go for that. Great question Adam.
