ORGANIZATIING TOOLS

Davidrm.com - The Journal - Provides place for journal entries but also, the key one I have used so far, it contains a "notebook" where I enter "tree outline" entries on all subjects of life, being able to move and collapse (and reexpand) outlines.  I don't have to save these things in Word, which would have taken up alot of time.

ActionOutline.com - Same collapsible outline tree idea.  Use for action planning.

WHICH ONES TO READ FIRST:  There are a number of good books out there, but it is important to read them in priority order.   Some are absolutely essential to a good education in life management, so they will be given a priority rating above others.  You should read the prioritized (A-B) and then the asterisked books if the area is relevant.  However, all the books are excellent.
