Inbox Zero

I take email very seriously. It’s definitely the most influential form of communication right now and I think it’s something that should be managed in a professional way. But it’s overwhelming. Unlike phones (calls, text messages, etc.), everyone can get in contact with you. Getting an email address is super easy if you know particular cadences…

Organize, Please… GMAIL

I am a gmail addict and have a huge system worked out. I have a few email accounts.  An AOL one (I know, so 1990s) that I use for pretty much everything, my Georgetown address, and a few gmail accounts. (Speaking of email addresses, you can reach me at carly [at] thecollegeprepster [dot] com) Before I…

How I Organize Everything

So much of what I do on a daily basis happens online. Because of this, I’ve perfected a bunch of systems to keep me incredibly organized. As a self-employed person, I find it so so so important to be as organized as possible. There is often no one else to pick up the slack or…

OUR HARBOUR ISLAND TRIP

I had heard the absolute best things about Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Everyone that I knew who had gone absolutely love it. Now that we’ve been, I totally understand the love. It’s almost hard to describe, but it certainly is a special little island! Mike and I have been talking about taking a beach vacation…

Things I’ve Learned About Myself

I’ve mentioned on here before that I’ve been working to rewrite the stories I have written about myself in my head. I’m a firm believer that (generally speaking) what you think/believe becomes your reality. Obviously, there are exceptions to that, but if you think you’re going to have a bad day, it’s going to be a…

inspiration

Word.

I love surrounding myself with inspiration: Beautiful quotations. Paintings that evoke emotion. Snippets printed from an email. A tiny picture of something I love. Generally, this consists of a post-it note I tuck in my pocket so I find it every so often.  (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that before on the internet…. so…

College Prepster Book Club

The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth by Alexandra Robbins (Robbins is also the author of The Overachievers.) This book really spoke to me.  Not a day goes by where I think to myself, “I’m really weird.”  Like, I know that I am very very very strange.  I don’t think like a lot of people, I…
