Scholar Portfolio: My Assistant Brain

I love computers and hand held devices for expanding access to information. However, at the present I like a more traditional, tangible scholar record keeping system.  Having everything in the palm of my hand sounds wonderful, portable, quick, and light. However, after having lost important files, moved from one computer to the next, had hard drives fail, had connectivity issues, dying batteries, and a thumb drive die with my thesis on it, I have decided that binders are my friend. Who wants to collect years of notes, ideas, essays and other valuable information only to have it lost forever, or not be able to access it when I want it due to connectivity power power issues? 

Revisiting the Harvard Classics in Fifteen Minutes a Day? Doable!

I am finding that my 15 minutes a day reading in the Harvard Classics is both doable and enjoyable. My life is quite full as a wife, a homeschooling mother, a grandmother, co-owner of a school, co-owner of an organization, and ward primary president. Maybe my life is not as full a schedule as a mother of a newborn, a two year old, and home educating older children! However, a full life nonetheless.
