Should you have a packing list?
I met someone who travels often for work and discussed her multi-page packing list she has created. I found myself scoffing at such overly obsessive organization.

Going ‘pro’.
Our world is changing. We no longer need to wait to get picked for many activities that once had a barrier to entry. We can self publish and make our book available to anyone with an Amazon account. We can start creating movies on our own and upload to YouTube. We can connect with people [...]
