Why Post-Its SuckI personally think that if the computer had never been invented, post-it notes would never have caught on. You see, without the computer, we wouldn't have a need for a monitor. Without a monitor, where the heck would we stick our post-its?I have two computers on my desk, my Titanium G4 and my Linux box. Both monitors are constantly covered with post-its. The problem is – my post-its are invisible. Within 24 hours of being put on my monitor, they are invisible to my eyes. I instantly forget that I wrote something there so I wouldn't forget about it. Half of the time, the post-it has the exact information I'm looking for, but I can't remember that I put it there. Those big post-its? They are even worse. I hate to waste paper so I find myself writing different topics on the same paper. Pretty soon I only need a portion of the note, but I'm stuck keeping the whole thing around because the sticky part is only on the top.Have you ever thought about how the world would react if suddenly all of the post-its from around your monitor suddenly disappeared? Are your post-its the invisible kind? Do you manage your life with tiny sheets of self-adhesive paper? “letme”

StaminaSlava from Unsanity.org posted an article on what it takes to be a good programmer. One of those key traits is stamina.I have to admit – I think that this is a key piece missing from most apps. I find myself somewhat slipping. I'm working on making it better – but it's not by increasing my intake of caffeine – it's by making better use of my time.As time goes by, I have a harder time burning the midnight oil. It takes me longer to recharge. I find that I need to make better use of my waking hours, because they are fewer than they used to be. To that end, I'm trying to plan my days a bit better. Organize my thoughts. Start the day with a plan.How do you manager your time? “letme”
