When you come to the ToDoListhHome.com website you see the name at the top and our tagline right below it. Keeping track of things to do for a better life. Beneath that is the menu bar with the contact page that lists my email contact and has a comment box as does every page on the site so please put your thoughts about what you see, hear and do at todolisthome.com in a comment.

  • Next is the about page which contains an introduction to the motivation and driving forces for the ToDoListhHome.com website and social media and soon this video will go here as well. Next is Advertise which contains detailed advertising program information for potential partners. Credit for this goes to Jack Spirko of the survival podcast .com.
  • Next there is VIDEOS which takes you to page containing our special YouTube channel information and you can watch the todolisthome videos right from this page.
  • Next is the Book list which contains the books that have helped to influence the building of todolisthome.com and all the things my family and I doing for a better life. The pictured book links are those books which I have already reviewed and posted on Youtube channel Tokyo 73 and in posts at todolisthome.com. On either side of each book pictured is the book title and the link to the episode in which I reviewed it. You should to visit this page if you are interested in good reading for a better life.

  • Last on the menu bar for now is Downloads. This is a special area containing files that you can download and customize for your own use. Currently there is a ToDoList spreadsheet file for organizing tasks, a budget spreadsheet to help get financial matters under control, there are some links for understanding and using mind mapping software. A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. I use FreeMind software to help me organize the episodes at todolisthome.com. It is invaluable for creating my e-books and I use the techniques quite often in my day job. There’s also the 2012 home outline and plans which has the details on all the plantings I do around the home. It needs to be updated but it will give you some ideas on how to plan your gardening and permaculture ideas.
  • There’s planting times which lists in a spreadsheet all of the plants I grow at home and the various dates for sowing and transplanting them based on last spring and first fall frost dates. It can be adapted to anyone’s climate as long as you know your frost dates. And I put a link for that in here as well. I also have here my plans for a cheap but extremely effective grow light system that I use for starting plants.
  • There are instructions I created for making a stand for a honey bee hive to keep it off the ground and as pest free as possible. There’s an important link to the twelve principles of permaculture. Permaculture is a way of designing things to develop sustainable human settlements and agricultural systems. The last link is to a great metric converter because the metric system is global and it’s important to know it.
  • Below the menu bar are the episodes of the ToDoListhome.com website. Eighty four so far and you can scroll down and see what I have put together to share with you with the intent of keeping track of things to do for a better life.
  • Each episode falls under one of four categories, they are: the Permaculture Series, The Review Series which are my personal reviews of books, products and companies, the To Do List Home Series which are the things we do to make our home and lives better. The final category is the Early Retirement series where I discuss ways in which my family and I are working to ensure financial independence but of course we will always be working.

  • There will soon be a notice to sign up for a free copy of my book “3 Things To Do For A Better Life”.
  • At the top right is the search box. Just search for what’s on your mind. See if there is match. Try “How to grow vegetables” for example. There it is. Look at these episodes that have a relevance to what was searched. The next buttons are links to ITunes for podcasted episodes, YouTube channel Tokyo 73, and Facebook again.
