E Mail: Turn off e mail alerts
E-mails have overtaken the phone as the most dangerously effective of all time wasters. The worst thing is the e mail alert that pops up on your computer screen. Don’t let other people interrupt you in this way and take back control of your time by turning the alert off.

A Runner’s Diary: Going on Hiatus…
The NYC Half Marathon added more stress to my body than I thought it would. It has taken a couple of weeks, but I am just about fully recovered. The only problem is the pain in my shins, which I’m hoping will go away shortly with rest and icing. After the race, it was amazing how the pain traveled throughout my body, starting with my head and going down to my toes. Every day it was a different ailment.

App Review: Monster Free Apps
Did you know that every day, fee-based iPhone apps become available for free to consumers?
I didn’t know that. But according to the new app, Monster Free Apps, developers make apps free for a day or even a week to expand their consumer base and get some positive reviews. The positive reviews help them better sell the app when it comes time to charge a fee.
Manny Coats, the co-founder of Monster Free Apps, said that many people don’t know about these apps because there is no way to spread the word to consumers. The buyer has to be online at just the right time to get in on the deal. With Monster Free Apps, consumers no longer need to search for these freebies. The app pushes a free (paid) app to your iPhone every day.

App Review: fone: Chat & Call for Facebook
When I read about the new Facebook Messenger App for the iPhone, I was excited. When I downloaded the app, I wasn’t so excited. I tried to download it from iTunes and was having trouble opening it on my iPhone, which has never happened before. When I finally got it working, I found it to be a valuable tool to reach friends and business associates in real time.
The new app has the potential to replace text messaging. You don’t need phone numbers logged into your phone. Instead, you log onto Facebook and all your contacts that are online can chat with you in writing and through VoIP.

Product Review: Hard Candy for MacBook Air
I love accessories for my new 11” MacBook Air. So when I learned that Hard Candy was looking for a blogger to review their new products, I jumped. They sent me two cases to review for the MacBook Air.
The first case was a Candy Convertible Air, which comes in both 11” and 13” for the MacBook Air. It also comes in two chic colors – Red or Black. I got the red one and it is hot! The color is bright and the Hard Candy logo is in silver on the bottom of the case. The case fits snugly and securely around the MacBook Air and the material is a smooth faux-nubuck.

A Runner’s Diary: A Week Later…
The day after the NYC Half Marathon, I couldn’t walk. I got out of bed and I felt as if my legs couldn’t support my body. I grabbed onto everything I could find to support myself to walk either into the bathroom or the kitchen, but that’s as far as I got. The thought of walking up and down the stairs scared me. I knew it would be painful.
