We all have toxic people in our lives. Whether it be a friend, work colleague, associate, neighbour or relative, there is bound to be somebody who brings little or no goodness to your life and make you feel bad inside, as well as draining your energy and even affecting your health.

July was a very busy month. I got married, finished my first ebook and started the personal productivity Twitter list. I won’t be resting in August though as it will be Organize IT’s second birthday with a site redesign to accompany it, too. If you haven’t read my book or joined the Twitter list yet then please do! Now onto the best posts from July (an especially good month thanks to some great guest posts).

It should prove to be a great opportunity to connect and communicate with like minded people.
