I would certainly rather debate reading an article about not procrastinating than get everything done that I would have realized I needed to get done had I not started debating the merits of not avoiding procrastinating indulgence of lifehacker advice.

It depends. If it's a big event like a vacation, wedding, etc that has several things going for it, I'll drop a new label on it and put calendar events in for payments etc.

I guess I'm just confused as to why someone would use this above techniques like: keeping a folder for items to review later, starring them, leaving them unread, or something of the like. For me, I am consistantly keeping my entire email account "read", so if I want to remember something for later, I keep it unread…

so... it takes your email, and... sends them into the nether for an amount of time... then brings them back?

That's like saying, if you brush your teeth before drinking that orange juice, it will taste better! When we know, that is definitely not the case.

But if you eat the frog first, then you have frog taste in your mouth for the rest of the day. If you eat dessert first, everything tastes like candy!

Its all about looking good when you tell your team you've let them down.

It's pretty tough to let in the light, set multiple alarms, or keep anything other than a regular alarm clock when you sleep with someone who has a different schedule than you.

Unless your dog is as lazy as you are. Usually I'm standing by the door with leash in hand looking at my dog stare at me upside down with legs hanging liberally in the air on the bed.

Right you are, though the article doesn't discuss incremental increases. The reason I prefer the CTRL+D method is if your dataset is more that a screen or two tall (most of mine are between 40,000 and 60,000 rows long), i can click on the top cell, use the scroll bar and shift+click the bottom cell and not worry about…

Also, you can click the cell you want to copy, hold shift and click the cell you want to copy to in the column and press ctrl+D.

Also, how they know your being watched by the NSA.

DUDE. My phone has a magnetic field sensor that I never knew about! So much for getting work done, i'm going to be searching my cube for bugs. Big brother won't be listening for much longer!

I have a Sony VAIO laptop from circa 2009, I can't recall the model right now (as I'm at work) but it's had a persistant issue for about a year. It seems (I can't tell if it's battery, power cord, or both related) that whenever I move the laptop, it black screens and has a hard-freeze. Is there an easy way to tell…

Cheers to his buddy who just stands there and then points down at him afterwards. "dude look, he did it again."

My fiancee and I went through a pre-marriage prep class taught by two licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I can't speak to whether or not it will help our marriage (as it hasn't started yet) but it gave us some great insight into how to communicate issues between us, and…

This is one of those situations where you can get caught unprepared. Even if your sure the person doing the interview has your resume already, they may bring in peers to assist with the resume. I know when I interviewed for my current job, I was interviewed by four different people, and while they had all seen my…

I'm in a similar place. (First world problems unite!). If my fiancee and I averaged $75k each, we would certainly be in a pretty comfortable place. But obviously this all depends on where you live.

Good advice, but make sure you don't exaggerate. Be as objective and direct as you can, maybe a simple "Hey man, I'm having trouble concentrating when you clear your throat like that, and you've been doing it for the last X hours. Is there anything I can do to help? Can I offer you a cough drop?"
