The folks at lifehack.org have put together a list of 20 things you can do when you have a few moments of free time.
Got a few minutes? Fire off an email to grease the wheels. Have a bunch of articles from newspapers, etc. to read? Clip them out and store them in a folder. Take the folder with you and read the articles when you have a spare moment. Have a couple of minutes free before a meeting? Go early. Those are some of the tips in the lifehack article. Do what I do, and combine them. When I have some time before a meeting, I go early and take some reading with me. If no one is there, I can catch up on the reading. If there are people there, I can talk with them. Be creative.

The folks over at Lifehack.org have put together a cool list of tips and hacks you can use to speed things up when you’re using the browser Firefox. The tips include both keyboard and mouse shortcuts, managing your bookmarks, and reducing how much memory the browser burns up. The hacks (please be sure you know what you’re doing) include accessing the about:config page and opening up more pipes for quicker downloads with broadband connections.

If the idea of taking an afternoon nap is not appealing, why not have a cup of coffee made with an $11,000 machine?

With last month’s report on the benefits of taking a nap comes the discussion of how it fits in American and other cultures. Here is one woman’s opinion. Since Louisa Thomas was a part of a study and she followed through by examining the results, she carries the credentials to be part of the discussion. How do you get through the part of the afternoon when your “homeostatic pressure to sleep briefly overwhelms the circadian signal to remain awake?”

I’ve just discovered (via Hawk Wings; there’s a nice run-down of the things you can do with DoIt) a cool-looking tool called DoIt for the Mac. It seems you can set up categories/contexts and have the program give you reminders. One cool feature appears to be the ability to link to files or URLs on your computer, and clicking the links take you to that file or Web page. Another allows you to use your Address Book to bring up phone numbers or email addresses when the time comes to make that call or write that message. Still another allows you to bring it all together with a Quicksilver plug-in.
