I read a great quote from Clifford Nass, a psychology professor at Standford University. Here’s what he says regarding multitasking:
People who multitask all the time can’t filter out irrelevancy. They can’t manage a working memory. They’re chronically distracted.
T2200.ca was launched in early November, and rather than an official launch it was more of a test. Each week I have been making updates to the site to enhance just a little each day. Small incremental changes were done to slowly build it up. I guess this is an Agile approach. Pushing a lot of updates over the course of time makes the journey easier as all the small changes begin to add up.
I started using Neovim for the past couple of months. It is a steep learning curve, and it is painful to write code because I have to keep thinking about going into edit mode. The pain rapidly subsides whenever I discover a faster way to insert, delete, or replace a block of text or characters. Here’s an example, if I press the character d then shift-$, it will delete all the characters from the active cursor position to the end of the line.
I am in the process of reading Dreyer’s English by Benjamin Dreyer. There are a lot of inconsistencies and oddities in English, and the author goes into great detail, in a fun and charming way, by providing crisp and concise ways of describing many common pitfalls of grammar. It is a great book to boost your confidence in your writing.
Grammar books are often dry, but Benjamin provides amusing cases and examples to make grammar lessons memorable. I highly recommend giving this book a read.
I attended a Intro to Xero workshop today. I learned that cloud accounting is the way of the future and not moving forward with this trend maybe costly if you do not merge your clients to the cloud.

Furthermore, with the bank feeds which makes data entry easier and less error prone. Client will actual use the software more frequently and get better reports for sale figures and HST reports. Therefore, the cloud enables so much more than the traditional bookkeeping software which is usually on the clients desktop inaccessible to the accountant, so mistakes cannot be identified until year end.
To become a yoga instructor, you most certainly spent a lot of your time, energy and not to mention your hard-earned “cash” for yoga instructor training. You completed the training, and you earned respect and experience to become a professional yoga instructor. As a result, you are now making money as a yoga instructor at one or multiple yoga studios. So the question is, how does a yoga instructor report their earnings on their personal tax return?
