Tuesdays are open loop days at SimpleProductivity blog.

I don’t know about you, but the thought of making it easier for my daughter to make water balloons leaves me uneasy. From Lifehacker’s “Tie Knot Water Balloon Filler Loads Water Balloons So Easily, Kids Can Do It”.
I’m always on the lookout for prods to my creativity. Lifehacker has a great synopsis of a Psychology Today article at “Stimulate Creativity with the SCAMPER Mnemonic”.
Sometimes I feel like all I do is sit in front of a computer. “Tasks multiply like bunnies, and they have a way of seducing us into believing we will eventually conquer them if we just keep working.” Live Bold And Bloom has a great article on “How to Lighten Up”. A definite must read!
Another very concise list of tips, this time to keep your weeks organized. From reader and professional organizer Organizing Maven’s “Order Matters » Seven C’s to an Organized Week”.
An interesting way to keep yourself on track…although it does remind me of Captain Hook from Peter Pan…“Stepcase Lifehack The Clock Is Ticking: Give Up Your Procrastination”.
I love this take on “just in case” clutter: evict Justin Case! from Unclutterer’s “Evicting Justin Case”.
