Make A List that Work

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

It’s my greatest weakness. Create a to-do list and then choose to ignore it. Apparently I have to make a to-do list that can work for me. An article in DLM teach how to create a to-do list by answering this four question :

  1. What should go on your to-do list?
  2. Do you prefer a paper or electronic to-do list?
  3. Should you assign priorities to tasks?
  4. Do you use a “closed” or an “open” to-do list?

To-do list supposed to help us out and not make us stressful. Do you create a to-do list daily? I use my cellphone to create one.

Shortcuts that I Can Use in My Life

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Sometimes all I want is to have several keyboard shortcuts to make my life easier. Yes, I know I’m lazy, but imagine for a minute a life when you can apply keyboard shortcuts. Nevermind on how you press them (I think you should do it with your mind). Here’s several shortcuts (I use PC, not Mac, sorry) that I want :

  1. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V (Copy and Paste). Definitely one of my favorite, because no-fun repetition is something that you shouldn’t, well, repeat.
    Use when : do household chores, go to office, all my daily tasks.
  2. Esc (Escape key) / Alt-F4 (Close). In life, you should have something really similar to escape key. It’s useful to avoid all awkward situation. Use this and it will paused temporarily or closed immediately.
    Use when : Rejected by the person of your dream, Do foolish things in public, wardrobe malfunction.
  3. Alt-Tab (Change Windows). In life, you should be able to open several windows (Work window, leisure window, house window) and switch whenever you want using Alt-Tab.
    Use when : You feel bored with your current situation and want to change venue.
  4. Ctrl-F (Find). I have a lot of things that I want to remember, but apparently my brain has its own capacity. So i want to access my memory using Ctrl-F.
    Use when : You forget where you put your key, the name of that person who remember our name.
