 Contrary to the fact that there has not been a new post in a long time, Tenacious Creations is still alive. I was temporarily overwhelmed with the completion of several projects all at once. Not being the most organized person on the planet my life was completely overwhelmed.

 I was starting to feel like I was on the same road to burn out that I had followed once before. Things were going really well yet chaotic in my life.

 What exactly is the 7 P’s rule. Well it stands for Proper Previous Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. This rule can apply to anything you are doing from blogging to taking a trip some where. A little bit of planning can prevent a lot of frustration later.

 A short time ago I wrote a post on how much I love white boards or dry erase boards. Well Julia the founder of Kleen Slate got in touch with me to tell me about some products she has created for white boards / dry erase boards.
