How to Add Spacing in WordPress for HTML and Visual Editors
I have done a lot of researching about the WordPress spacing issues that can sometimes get in our way. Primarily when you switch from HTML view to Visual view, you’ve noticed that your spacing is removed. Then you’d have to go back into the HTML view to add in the <br/> tags, or you try to add spacing in Visual. Please see below for what I discovered and how to get around that issue:

5 Tips to Staying Productive When It’s Hardest
There are a zillion things that can distract us throughout our work day. The phone rings and something important needs to be fixed, you get an email that you have a direct message from Twitter so you go check 
it out, a friend calls and invites you to lunch, your creative-self strikes and you get energized to start working on a new concept or product/service, the day is dragging on so you hop onto Facebook to see what’s goin’ on, you look at the clock and wonder how only 15 minutes has gone by, a visitor stops by …. it goes on and on. Before you know it, the day is over and you only accomplished a few tasks on your to do list.
