Keep A Scratch Pad Of The Day
4:00AM Wendy Boswell | For those of us who aren’t quite the moleskine ninjas that we aspire to be (yet), Gretchen Rubin of the Happiness Project suggests one scratch paper a day. I have a “scratch paper for the day.” I keep a pad of paper by the phone, and anytime I have the urge to make a note to myself, I discipline myself only to use that pad of paper. At the end of the day, I toss the piece of paper, after copying anything I need to keep. Since I’m a compulsive note/list maker, this method appealed to me, mostly because it’s so dang easy to implement. How do you keep your notes organised? Please share in the comments. A simple, easy, cheap way to fight the clutter that appears on your desk. [The Happiness Project] More »Lifehacker website beseiged by gremlins
12:18PM Sarah Stokely | Reader Harold has kindly informed us that our site’s link to the US edition of Lifehacker isn’t working, and it seems the other tool for Aussies wishing to navigate to the US site (us.lifehacker.com) isn’t working either.
Please rest assured this isn’t a conspiracy to keep you from visiting Lifehacker US – it’s gremlins at work. We’re speaking to the Lifehacker US folk to work out the problem, and hopefully both those tools will be back and running soon. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Update: I should also point out that anyone reading Lifehacker AU is getting *all* of the US content, as well as the extra Aussie content, so you’re not missing out on any of the US posts. But if you want to jump back to the US site for any reason, you’ll be able to do so once we get the gremlins out of the system. :) More » Best of luck to Kyle!
11:15PM Gina Trapani | We editors are very sad to say goodbye to our guy Kyle, who’s moving on from Lifehacker and heading back to school this fall. Thanks to Kyle for all his fabulous work on the site—especially his fantastic *nix coverage. We’ll miss you, Kyle! More »
