Favorite Home Office Time Wasters

I have fallen head over heels for Blip.fm
What an ingenious idea for connecting people! The first day I set up my account a spent a few minutes searching through songs, choosing “Let the River Run” by Carly Simon from the movie Working Girl with Melanie Griffin- a favorite movie of mine. The song is super cheesy, but worth a good laugh and really does inspire me to get going. After that I found a few other “DJs” with similar music tastes and in turn found new music I love. Technically, Blip.fm is not a total waste of time. It is fun to look through. A “blip” is “a combination of 1) a song and 2) a short message that accompanies it.” You can then have your blips sent out via other social networking sites you belong to like Twitter. Blip then becomes less of a time waste and more of a productivity aid, creating playlists that get you motivated, keep you focused, or encourage a positive mood or outlook on the day. Check out my blips at blip.fm/sohowife or follow me on Twitter for the updates at twitter.com/sohowife.

The landlord.
Not a great use of company time… but hey, it keeps my spirits up. Like Blip.fm, Funny or Die is good for a laugh which in turn keeps me motivated. If you haven’t watched the Landlord, it is a must.
