Welcome to the April 12, 2008 edition of Carnival of Tips. We had over 70 great entries this week, split in to two parts. (Click here for Part I)

Relationships:

• Geek’s Dream Girl presents Don’t be lovemyporsche unless you own one, please. posted at Geek’s Dream Girl, saying, “Is your screenname keeping you from getting dates? Here are some simple tips to creating a name for yourself!”
• Marc Basile presents Keep a Love Journal posted at The Incurable Romantic, saying, “With the pace of modern life causing us to redefine the meaning of “hectic”, it’s all too easy to feel disconnected from the people who are truly the only important aspects of our lives. One way that we keep up with each other is to keep a running Love Journal. Our love journal isn’t the sort of diary filled with mushy love notes (though they can be found in there as well), so much as an ongoing conversation we have with each other, especially when we can’t actually sit down and have an actual conversation.”

Taking personal responsibility is viewed as a burden, placing limitations on us.” and (2) What to Do if You Screw Up, saying, “We all make mistakes; it’s a part of being human and fallible.

The reason, as most business coaches and motivational experts will tell you, is that people mostly just want to do a good job,” posted at Slow Down Fast Today!,
