Most of us go days without writing anything by hand, and when we finally need to jot something down, it looks like…
The best productivity methods keep your to-dos in front of you and prioritized so you never wonder what to work on…
Car seats absorb all sorts of stains and crumbs. Over time fabric seats can get gross, but you can avoid expensive…
I know that complaining about Facebook changes is high on the list of "most ridiculous things you can waste your time on", but what is the hate-on that FB has for showing posts in chronological order? If their algorithm for determining what I was interested in was even vaguely accurate I might be more accepting, but…
Tablet screens are usually good, but every now and again you want to put what you're looking at on the big screen instead of staring at them on your tablet. Plus, since it works with iOS and Android devices and supports everything from Netflix and Hulu to your web browser and music player and virtually everything in…
I've had a couple of stylii for my tablets, but the Jot Pro was one of the best 30 bucks I spent. Look, I have fat fingers—it makes tapping things, especially small things, difficult—I also like to draw and diagram when I brainstorm, so having a stylus even for normal navigation can come in handy.

You're welcome. I tweeted this because my parents taught me this, in addition to other manners, 40 years ago. I was at the supermarket one evening and walked in front of someone as they were looking at cereal and said excuse as I passed. She thanked me and commented that no one does that anymore.

I schedule appointments to do these tasks in my Outlook calendar. "Call X. Schedule Y. Pick up Z on lunch hour." It took my stress level to zero when I started scheduling them like any other work task. Then I'm not constantly trying to remember to do them or wondering if I will get them done.
I first connected with Jamie Todd Rubin last year while researching Evernote Ambassadors. (Jamie is Evernote's…
I email myself little reminders and to-dos that sometimes do pile up. Luckily I get every-other Friday off of work and most of the day I'm by myself, so I use the morning of this every-other Friday to power through everything. It's my "power day" instead of "power hour"!
I really like this idea. I always find myself pushing simpler tasks to the bottom of my list because something "more important" comes along. Definitely going to try this tip.
Evernote is a powerful tool not just for capturing information, but also planning projects and tasks. My Simple…
