This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Great ideas for slow days. It’s healthy to take a breather every once in awhile. Thanks for the advice.

When I’m having a slow day I usually get up early and hit the gym, when I get back I take a shower check and answer my e-mail, call some business contacts and plan a lunch with a friend. After lunch it kind of depends on the weather, when the weather is great I grab my camera and get out to take some beautiful shots or do some stuff around the house.

Great post, Nick.

I agree with #4, personal projects, I believe that’s best use of your time if you want to have a complementing income besides the one from freelance work.

I would recommend doing some prospecting and trying to get more clients

This is really a beautiful reminder for us to appreciate our real enjoyment. Today is the unique windy Saturday in the extreme summer. I also have been working hard whole week and pushed by deadlines. But I enjoy every moment may come to me because they are the presents that many of human being don’t know how to realize them.
Re our own personal projects, I really love that idea. I have created several on my own, and happy to go with them everyday with full of peace. Why? Because it refers to something we really want to do and we do it just as we follow our dreams beside our social obligation. We simply do it to reflect life.

Maintaining tax records, such as adding receipts to my spreadsheet and then filing them, is an admirable free-time activity. Also, updating mileage records.

I do more of this during the year than I used to, but the ultimate would be to be completely up-to-date on December 31 and then simply pull together totals and 1099s for the accountant. I’d guess it would only take an hour or so to be ready to go!
