This post is spot on. I really appreciate acknowledging that digital is not always the way for the true life hacker :) I love technology - I have 7,000+ notes in Evernote, try new apps for fun, etc. But the best productivity combo I’ve found is using Trello/Google Calendar to track my projects, tasks and schedule, and…

There’s no practical application for cursive.
This is my lifesaver. Scheduling things on the calendar never works for me because life is too fluid, priorities change too quickly. As soon as you have to re-prioritize, all of that time you spent scheduling goes out the window. I just keep a meticulous task list, pruned every week (or sometimes more often) of…
Oooh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that would be pretty nice to have. I don’t feel like I’m lacking without it, but if I had it, I’d probably use it. I’m a searcher though - I stash most of my apps in folders and use the Spotlight pull-down to search for the app I want. I do the same on computers. It’s always nice to…
That’s true! I do think the $5 box might be more now... but I can’t see that new price when logged in, it only shows the $5. I signed up waaay back when you needed an invite (thanks, auntie from England!) so yeah, I’m locked in at $5. I’ve been tempted to up to the $8 box but was worried I’d lose that $5 price... now…
As a subscriber (and lover) of Graze, I’d like to clarify a few points:
People keep saying it's awful and list reasons, and yet at the end of the day, people have no problem using it. The only people I've heard complain are tech lovers and UI designers. I'm not saying the complaints aren't valid—just over-blown.
iCloud Drive gets a desktop icon in iOS9, and is essentially Dropbox. I have stuck images and other files in it from my computer and it opens them all.
Honestly, I don’t know anyone who struggles with it, though. I have to remind my father how to turn off his Mac over and over and over (because he forgets the top bar exists), yet he has no trouble using iTunes. It’s not as confusing as people make it out to be.
Honest question - how is this different than app folders? The only Android device I’ve ever used was a Nook HD+, which IMHO hardly counts.
Agreed. Actually laughed out loud and said, “What?” when I read this article. Using a stiff-soled shoe makes a weak foot. The stronger your feet, the better you will walk, run, hike, jump, everything. Not using your feet just transfers the work to your legs.
I can’t believe you named your SNAKE plants after Gryffindors. smh
I work a corporate... well, maybe not corporate but definitely desk-job M-F schedule and do my review on Monday morning. Don’t do work at home! If it’s work related, do it at work. If you usually find yourself booked for meetings early Monday morning, A) tell those scheduling them to stop being so sadistic (or less…
If people lose focus by 2pm on Friday, isn’t that a terrible time to review every open project and task? I’m definitely in that “brain-dead by 2pm” category, and always save minute, last-minute, easy and/or brainless tasks for Friday afternoon. I tried saving the last hour or so for my review and found I didn’t have…
People pretty much everywhere are missing the point of this article, which is that you don’t HAVE to change the typeface used on your resume - but doing so, and doing so well, might get your resume shifted to the top of the pile. You definitely run the risk of making a poor choice and getting relegated to the bottom —…
A few years ago I won a 3 blind round orchestral audition and got lambasted in the community saying “she must have slept with someone to get that job”. THREE BLIND ROUNDS!!!
Me, too :( But by drifting away from music, I found another passion (graphic design) and love it to this day. Unfortunately it’s yet another field of men, rampant misogyny, and simmering sexism (even had one designer, with whom I’d chatted for months, completely cut off communication once he found out I was a girl.…

I have had a cup of Yorkshire Gold every day for the past 6 months. Never, ever get sick of it, and every time I crave tea, I only want Yorkshire Gold. How is it so good?!?!?!
