StepCase Lifehack had an article about parenting that caught my eye. While these were no-brainers for me, I have recently seen several results where parents didn’t do these things. It was very sad. (Five Things Every Parent Should Do for Their Young Children)

Gina over at SmarterWare pointed out an article on how to get more from the tiny Netbook screen. It’s a good tip. (maximize Firefox 3.5′s viewing area on netbooks via Modify Firefox for Your Netbook)

It was odd that an article about chaos creeping in found its way into my reader…it showed up as I shoveled off my printer for the umpteenth time this week. But it’s true: “When we don’t finish projects we leave the door open to chaos.” Putting the finishing details is always a good idea, or you end up with projects with lots of threads hanging. Trim the threads and know it is truly done. (From Flattening the Never Finishing Monster)

There are many reasons why people develop to-do list blindness. Some people have one problem consistently, and others vary their causes. This article (Common To-Do List Problems And How To Fix Them, Part 1 – Work smart, play smart) deals with several reasons and gives specific methods to counteract them.
