1) Create a schedule, not just mentally, but on paper. Write out a weekly schedule of what you are going to do; then create a written schedule for each day's activities. This will help discipline you to do what needs to be done, and it will help clarify the items in your mind.

Some of the best used tire bargains he's found is at custom wheel shops. A lot of these stores take used tires as a trade in for their customers that want to improve their tire and rim sets. The custom wheel trade-ins they receive will usually be in good condition and you will be able to get a great set of wheel rims at a low tire price!
