Hi. I’m Tim Denning, and if you’re struggling I’ve got your back.
I’ve failed a bunch of times and had some massive lows. I’ve turned these lows into a mini transformation, and in 2011 I became obsessed with personal development.
Initially, my goal was to understand the mind so I could turn my own life around. Once I achieved that, I wanted others to experience the same transformation. Let me help you experience yours.

Today’s quick tech tip….
How to pin a web page to the Taskbar with the Edge browser
Is there a particular web page (or two) that you open every time you use your Windows PC?
If so, you probably have it bookmarked for quick and easy access. But what if I told you there’s an even faster way to open that page when you need it?
If you use Microsoft’s Edge browser you can pin that page right to the taskbar, making it quick and easy to launch the browser with that page already open in it with just a single click.
Here’s how to pin any web page that’s open in Edge to the Windows Taskbar:
1 – With the page you want to pin to the Taskbar already open, click the three dots in the top-right corner of the Edge window.
2 – Scroll down and click More tools > Pin to taskbar.
That’s all there is to it. From now on simply click that new icon on the Taskbar and Edge will open immediately with that page already open inside a tab.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
Beelink SER5 Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 5560U CPU (#ad)
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of mini PC’s.
After all, what’s not to love about true desktop performance from a machine that’s about the size of an over-grown smartphone?
This little gem from Beelink offers plenty of power for it’s size (and for the money).
