I’ve always felt deep-down that I would do well competing on Project Runway. Not because I know anything about sewing, or fashion, or fabric really. No, I feel that I would kick butt and take names because of my project management education. Namely, knowing how to balance the triple constraint.

The old management maxim of “What gets measured, gets done!” applies to all parts of life. Most especially financial fitness, physical fitness and weight-loss. So, with that in mind, here are four tools to help with each:

Okay, bit of a rant, but really what is it with FedEx ground delivery at apartment complexes? Typically, as a courtesy, leasing offices allow delivery drivers to leave packages there if the residents aren’t home.

The temptation to let everyone know your business is stronger than ever, telling them where you are and what you’re doing nearly every minute of the day.

Alright, I’ll admit it, I’m intrigued by this wine. I found it for under $4 at Wal-mart the other day, and being the impulsive shopper I am I decided to pick up a bottle. What the heck, right?
