Yeah, I was kind of hoping to see some options included for when you want a mixed drink that comes in a beer-shaped bottle. Smirnoff Ice, Redd's Apple Ale, Mike's Hard Lemonade, or (if you want to get a little wonky) Seagram's Wine Coolers. Then again, they're all great, so I guess they don't need a flowchart.

I'd really like to discuss this story from a literary critique standpoint, because I see a few issues with the plot, dialog, and main character. If that's unwelcome and everyone just wants to celebrate the marriage in Texas, I'll totally understand.

I just realized, this entire article boils down to 'give Lifehacker ideas for future articles'.

(EDIT: Just wanted to add, if this gets quoted in a 'here's what the readers said' compilation, PLEASE do not include me talking about how I shave my armpits. Would hate for that to come up when someone Googles my name. Kinja comments are difficult enough to navigate that I'm pretty sure it's safe down here.)

HERE ARE ALL MY STARS

I recently discovered Gantt charts (which, when simplified, function much the same as Kanban) and have been using Tom's Planner to map out my writing progress. However, I hate that it doesn't have dependencies and grouping.

Lifehacker has been a huge help to me, posting about many things that I know other people think are fundamental, when in fact they're brand-new skills for me.

Daily, basic hygiene habits like flossing/brushing teeth, taking showers, shaving, cosmetics, and hairstyling. It was assumed that I would 'just do' these things once I was taught how, so the habit was never reinforced.

I was also never taught cosmetics because my parents viewed it as exploitation - convincing women they look bad so that they'll spend money and time on false appearances.

I have the same kneejerk reaction to this sort of thing (the Love Languages site does it, too). To get around it, I like to take advantage of Gmail's +tagging system, e.g. myemail+productivityquiz@gmail.com. If I sign up and then start getting reams of spam with that in the to: field, I can smear the offending website…

If I'm reading this right, it suggested you listen to the Moody Blues. That's instant win.

Everyone who thought James Whitbrook's avatar was some kind of mal-formed Betty Boop just went 'ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh'.

Yeah, I was disappointed (but shouldn't have been so surprised, since it's Lifehacker) that this list is geared toward those who have achieved the work-for-yourself dream, without taking into account those of us for whom 'work' still involves someone looking over your shoulder. Our list might go like:

First off, the majority of content gets added via an IFTTT recipe I set up. I have a category in Feedly called '_PIPE', and any feeds in that category (sites from which I want to read/watch ALL the content) are routed through IFTTT and placed on my Pocket. This cuts out a lot of time spent manually adding items.

Judging from the comments, I may be the youngest person here (b. 1988). The computer I was raised on (until I bought a Averatec laptop with Windows XP as a teenager) was a Macintosh Power PC running Macintosh OS 9:

I'm late to the party but wanted to let you know that I definitely would have shared this article on Facebook and emailed it to my web designer mother (who vocally haaaates Windows 8) if not for the profanity in the title and the overuse of profanity in the article. Not because I think anyone would be particularly…

If you you're using a service like Pocket, Instapaper, or Readability, you probably have a long list of articles that you've been meaning to read forever.

I offer transcription on fiverr and have had pretty good experiences. I typically transcribe a sample page while timing how long it takes, multiply that x1.5 or x2 (sample images are inevitably unrepresentative of the whole), and then quote using my standard hourly rate. About half the quotes result in orders, which I…

I've recently discovered a surprisingly simple fix: Wearing clothes (pajamas or sweat pants/camisole) and socks to bed. Sounds obvious, but I never realized how much colder the air feels if I'm in my underwear or naked; I now plan to get used to light clothing at night (at least during the winter). Plus, rather than…

I noticed the same, and am going with 'oval' as the closest approximation.
