Setting a timer or reminder on your phone is helpful to remember to take breaks during long work sessions. I use the app Aloe http://aloebud.com/ a lot because I can mark off if I’ve done something in case I might forget. This is useful for remembering a medication, but can be good for other tasks, too. The notifications are friendly and cute so that’s nice, too. Source: about 3 years ago

Sweeten is a free service that matches homeowners with general contractors for renovation projects in several major metro cities. It's free to use and their customer service team is great if you have some must-haves for your project (you want the contractor to handle material ordering, you need the project done by a certain date, etc.).
