Jay’s favorite thing to do it to make lists. Lists and lists and lists. Taking to-do items off your mind helps relieve the stress of getting things done. Whether its for eBay, a house renovation or our video production, Jay has got lists. How do you handle your to-do lists?

It was a busy week on eBay, our video job and at the house renovation. Sometimes feels like juggling, but it’s all stress we’ve invited into our lives and we love it. Hope your week was great too!

This week was probably the busiest week we’ve had all year. It was our helper’s last 20 hour week, so the ebay push was on. Our renovation is down to the last many, tiny details. We started a big freelance video project for a new client. Lots of plates spinning. We were also planning on taking a trip to New York City in a couple days. Could we handle it all at once? Not really. So we decided to put NYC on hold. Something we’ve never done! But it had to happen. Boo!

Hope your week was great!

As we’ve mentioned before, we’ve been spending all of our money on the new renovation which is about to be finished. We got an email this week that sparked the conversation about spending money and how it is, and should be, painful. What do you think? Hope you’re having a great week so far!

We decided to take a mini “vacation” and rent a hotel room in the next big city over from us for a couple nights. We got a deal online, needed to do some stuff in town, so why not? Of course we still recorded the podcast! Just another reminder, if noreply@scavengerlife.com is sending your forum emails to spam, please unmark them as spam and your email provider should re-recognize our emailer. We’re working on a better fix, but for now, this is the best we can do!

Hope you had a great week. Happy 4th!
