Ramble Writing of R.D. Hayes

I have heard a lot of bad things about Bubblews . I use to love to write for them and I still do every now and again. One review that I had seen was from a dear friend who had gotten kicked off of their site for unknown reasons, another review was from another friend who said that the pay system was really messed up but she still got paid, it just took longer than they state. Well, I have been writing for them for a while now. I don’t write there frequently though. You are allowed to post ten articles or post a day. I don’t take full advantage of this though; I am lucky if I post one a week. Anyways, this is my current pay scale that I have. I need to reach $50 before I can withdraw this into my PayPal account and right now I am at $46. I will keep you updated on my progress with them. Please let me know how your experience has been so far.

Last week I talked about my earnings from Fiverr and how I was starting to make a little bit of money from there. I have been working diligently to make a decent income from their website. So far I am actually doing very well. I have received a payment in PayPal, which you can withdraw as soon as it is cleared on Fiverr. I am amazed at how quickly I am starting to make an income from them. The work that you can choose isn't really limited. On average, since starting there, I have earned about $20-$30 a day. This isn't too bad for someone who just became a level 1 seller on their website within a month. This also isn't bad for someone who only has a few gigs on their site as well. If you start selling gigs, you are going to need to play around with it a little while before you really learn to make an income; this might mean deleting gigs, suspending them ,and editing them until you figure out what works for you. I recently made it to level 1 of fiverr. I am super exci...

 I rented  Here Comes the Boom   at the only  RedBox  that my tiny little town has. I had heard great things about this 2012 movie and wanted to see for myself. The movie is set in a school which is about to lose their music program and music teacher due to funding cuts. A biology teacher, Kevin James, decides that he will do whatever it takes to bring the music program back and to save one of his fellow teachers and best friend's job. The biology teacher decides that he is going to take up kickboxing to raise the money needed for the music program. He has been teaching a class to non-citizens on how to become a citizen and that were he meets his would-be trainer. He blackmails this trainer into teaching him how to fight in Here Comes the Boom. He makes a trade, fighting lessons for citizen lessons. The first few fights, Kevin James, loses his rear but he never give up; his "children" are too special for that. He keeps going until he reaches the ultimate fi...

  “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”   ~ Lao Tzu Consider the above quote from Lao Tzu, (perhaps mythical) father of Taoism: how can it be true? Is it possible not to hurry, but to get everything done? It seems contradictory to our modern world, where everything is a rush an everyone seems to not know how to not hurry, where we try to cram as much into every minute of the day as possible, where if we are not busy, we feel unproductive and lazy. This is why we need to learn how not to hurry. In fact, often we compete by trying to show how busy we are. I have a thousand projects to do! Oh yeah? I have 10,000! The winner is the person who has the most insane schedule, who rushes from one thing to the next with the energy of a hummingbird, because obviously that means he’s the most successful and important. So, if we know how to not to hurry, then would this make us insane? Right? Maybe not. Maybe we’re playing the wrong game — we’ve been conditioned to belie...

The beauty of an empty inbox is a thing to behold. It is calming, peaceful and wonderful. See how you can clear your inbox and stop drowning in emails. An inbox that is overflowing with actions, urgent calls for responses, stuff to read … it’s chaos, it’s stressful, it’s overwhelming. I know you don’t like to clear your inbox but, once you do you will be much less stressed. A friend recently posted: “Help! I’m drowning in email!” Let’s look at how to get your head above water first, and then how to get safely to dry land after you clear you inbox. Head Above Water You need to give yourself some breathing room. De-cluttering your life also means to  declutter  your email inbox. A flooded inbox is overwhelming, and you don’t know where to start. So here’s where we’re going to start: 1. Create an “actions” folder or label in your email . This is where you’re going to store any emails that you need to take action on (other than just replying or filing or whatever). 2. Pick th...

“With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.”  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson The idea of having concrete, achievable goals seem deeply ingrained in our culture. I know I lived with setting goals for many years, and in fact a big part of my writings. These days, however, I live without goals, for the most part. It’s absolutely liberating, and contrary to what you might believe, it absolutely doesn’t mean you stop achieving things. It means you stop letting yourself be limited by goals. Consider this common belief: “You’ll never get anywhere unless you know where you’re going.” This seems so common sensical, and yet its obviously not true if you stop to think about it. Conduct a simple experiment: go outside and walk in a random direction, and feel free to change directions randomly. After 20 minutes, an hour … you’ll be somewhere! It’s just that you didn’t know you were going to end up there. And there’s the rub: you have to open your mind to going places you never ...
