Lindsay from Writing For Your Wealth says that she doesn’t have a to-do list.  However, this doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a strategy for accomplishing her daily tasks.”I generally just approach my work day with one or two major things I want to get done, and I make sure I do them.

In the previous PYW Asks, I asked readers this question:
Would you do your job even if you weren’t paid to do it? If not, are there any aspects of your job that you would do without pay?
Here are some answers from other Pimp Your Work readers:
According to Lex, this is a tough topic. “I work at office on a commercial project and without compensation surely I won’t be there any more.”  However, Lex works on open source projects in his spare time – projects that he doesn’t mind not being compensated for.
Hantulga also shares the same sentiment over …read more

Ren Garcia from Accounting Solver shared a list criteria for her dream job, which included enough income to pay for her obligations and retirement, pleasant coworkers, ample free time, carries some prestige, and makes a difference.  Ren says that “If the dream …read more
