Most of us don't love to clean, so doing it in small bursts when you're stuck on something is a great way to step away from work and check off an item on your to-do list. The key here is to take on small cleaning projects. Don't clean your whole house from top to bottom. Instead, take five minutes to clean the sink,

I would love to learn more about woodworking and how to build simple furniture, workbenches, etc. for people like me who have an interest, but no real training or skill.

Simple tips and tricks are always welcome - we had friends who are contractors help us out when we were renovating and it's amazing the small things they do to make their lives easier.

I'd like to see "series posts" about carpentry or home repair (think Lifehacker series on "Coding"), where there are resources for budding carpenters and woodworkers.

I'd love to see some minimalist workshops. I am fascinated by people who use skills rather than a million do-dad jigs.

And please show as many Ikea hacks as you can get away with. :)

Woodworking in general. I'd like to know more about building custom furniture (the specifics, not "1. Cut out the pieces 2. Put them together 3. Woo desk!").

I would love to see home improvement stuff. Perhaps, appealing to a wider audience, you might feature minor projects that might interest renters as well (furniture re-finishing, DIY shelving units, basic faucet/plumbing repairs?, etc.). In general, I think we would all love to see projects with the greatest

From cleaning to everything else ;)

This looks like a potentially life-changing article, so I bookmarked it to read later.

After identifying the type of procrastinator you are, you can lean on Dr. Ferrari's findings and advice to tackle the issue.

We gave out halloween-esque finger monsters at our wedding. They were inexpensive and people had fun playing with them. Plus, they made great photo booth fodder.
