.not .notter. nottest


Bzzzt ... wrong!

Despite being laughed at by the whole world (squirting anyone?), you try making friends (well actually, buying friends) and they still screw you over.

intercrastination


We all know procrastination i.e. when you start pushing your tasks forward and end up doing little or nothing.

Over at Lifehacker a reader popped the question about a similar phenomena: procrastinating your spare time in between to tasks or parts of a task.
(Like taking a small sanitary break and ending up reading the entire newspaper or more familiar: just checking your mail and finishing your evening still behind the screen reading all wonders of the internets.)

As this is a procrastination alike issue but then in between tasks the proposed term is "inter-crastination".

For those curious about the relation to the image : "Thief Of Time" should suffice.

GTD martha steward style


Lifehacker features this weeks martha steward style getting things done home improvement.
The general idea is to paint a chalkboard calender on your wall with about six weeks worth of days on it. This you can do with special chalkboard paint that renders any surface it's put on into a chalkboard.

Although I feel quite opposed to ruining my walls with this kind of paintjob, the picture joining the article demonstrates what a nice set of web 2.0 colors can do to your wall.

As an extra I suggest to first coat the wall with a paint that has a high level of metal particles in it. You will then end up with a wall you not only can write on but also stick magnets onto.
