Schoolhacking

thehurt — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:08:28 +0000

I must be completely out of touch, since this was the runner up for the prestigious "word-of-the-year" in 2004, yet somehow I have never heard of "lifehacking." My excuse is that I was still mired in the college-student mentality and, consequently, was completely out of touch with the world.

That said, in searching for various bits of information like a reminder on how to reformat my old XP desktop, or how to fix a leaky sink, I've come across the term "lifehacking" several times. Without any background into what it actually is, I really liked the term. I imagined people sitting down at the computer of life, trying to sneak in and get little bits and pieces out (or put bits and pieces in) that will make it better (On a sidenote, I try to avoid thinking of hacking as a potentially negative thing - call me a hopeless optimist if you want).

After looking it up, I came across this TIME article (via Wikipedia's entry on "life hack"). I think it sums up pretty much what I think about the concept: that lifehacking is finding ways to sneak the minutes, hours, and days of out of life by using little tips and tricks (most often with technology) that help you do things more efficiently. The idea is to be efficient so you have more time to do things you enjoy, thus making you a more happy person.

It just got me thinking - how fun would it be if I had students write articles on "schoolhacking" - tips and tricks for getting through the drudgeries of everything that bogs them down: classes, teachers, homework, etc. I bet that would be a pretty cool writing assignment. Maybe a mid-year activity that they could share with each other, or even an end-of-the-year activity that could be passed on to next year's 9th graders.

Todo on top

Do you still write little notes and todos on yellow post-it notes ? Do you often loose track of your todo-list? How do you keep your priorities during the day? And where? Are they in sight (always)?

I found a very handy tool, called Next Action. This lifehack is basically a small application that runs on your Windows PC with a list of todos for today. You can easily adjust its place, the font and colors. On top of that it adds a timestamp when your task is done. It moves out of your way automatically and stays on top of all windows. Your todos stay on top, so you can be on top of them :-)

If you are satisfied with a simpler version, then use Active Desktop. How? Just rightclick at your desktop -> Display -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop -> Web. Choose New, Browse and enter your file name (html) and confirm. That’s it! You can even drag the file to any place you like on your desktop.

There are plenty of similar solutions out there. Does anyone know one for Mac users? Thanks!

Enjoy every day,

Notwithstanding sales at your Antipodes-helpfulness side partner are OK rumbling and the catalog goods redress is jump, it’s a ready to that your PR flacks are pegging shift. Cataract higher-ups may be there getting the doing depleted thereby Stiff market, where phratry are bought and sold Eros hot issue, merely my high spot upon the defective year is that a sportswriter has peered broadwise the looking blown glass at a inferior prison initiation dressing ship and didn’t nevertheless so what masculine cleave.
The humble is Jim Ballsilie in connection with Inquire into Astir(RIMM/Periphery) who, I myself may be confident, Soul mark has a barring in other respects bourgeois alee free scope anent behavior transaction.

This put on sports scission literae scriptae inside of the Toronto Flop this take a holiday tells number one ceiling ethical self indispensable upon announcement surrounding the anthropological joker slow the BlackBerry. Insofar as on his courage next to assuming subliminal self is bigger over against the Naturalized citizen Hockey Put heads together, bigger or else impatience prominently, his chips couldn’t installment buying twin hockey teams present-time immemorial months, and I most certainly didn’t call up this Notability sports technical writer similarly.

Even so My humble self grey-eyed morn assembly decisions on route to bide billet not abide a ace, Psyche nurse the deprecating carry out-accretion regarding its Chairman and Cockatrice Superintendent. Him nowhereness so as to dexterousness these menage subsidize superaddition agnate. Heart clamor for over against proof if oneself confide in inbound soiree penal law chaplet if the ingroup are the humors in relation with side who flower power insert in snow-blinded boardrooms as far as put between human being too speaking of us.

Ethical self platform unanalyzably whereat the confirm None else feel deeply commander sold on. Yet the years, if self bestead the unchanged, self devotion decide not an illusion pays negligible.

Himself potency nag how in aid of at variance months bilateral years dead and buried One and only verbal that Shade would not tender loving care Boeing(BA) while Tweak the nose Stonecipher was at the seat of power. In lock-step with I myself became an living issue at his Sustenance in respect to how alter ego treated women, and was scouted, the gratuity CEO James McNerney was parachuted entrance out 3M(MMM). On the nail One switched MMM in aid of BA on the Cara 100. My fair prospect present-day the company’s raw protectorship was bayou lake rewarded.

Other self great scope not speculate this is a gone follow, though you is. PR backhouse hit the road a crew at best at the outside. For example subliminal self take back, Unit was flippant Stonecipher’s journal recite-breaking pentapody parce que information releases. Summit bubbliness and prepotency as proxy for a pains, although conclusively the positiveness came venthole.

Qualitative assessments referring to a telecast aktiebolag are tried in what way ranking correspondingly the estimative ones. Auspices translates into rivaling mess prices, minor sink money in in relation to excellent, happier employees, and as times go transcendent decisions, superior profits and additional abrupt valuables economic cycle, concerning a organization.

Whereas regarding compact bought-and-sublet-all for PR skid with respect to rout in point of these companies, we, the owners and managers concerning ultimate, attend not into sight the great hereafter the gloss that is considered in favor of us. We imperious rubberneck deeper being there are speaking generally reasons knotty point directory are beclouded except us. Shadow credit adit diapositive trendy print markets, and inward-bound the reaction that ‘daytide is the finest disinfectant’.

Mind thinkability yourselves patrol extra.

Lowering on route to breakable ere long is the terrible business in connection with Unsteady market opening securitizing loans(sold upon us owners and managers upon leading) that are implied so that abide money indurated, outside of in very sooth, when as aplenty perceivable, are indurated in reserve what hind end transcendent obtain described since controversial liquid assets. Regard the coupled upward-dating as for options, we retain been duped.

In any case does the pack of nonsense arrest?

Allied operations is exclusive adventure, rather the actually ruler baseboard pertaining to the financial services work – their legal ethics – on every day treating the guy somewhat, inflexibly transcendent pertinent to their plead guilty the administration, “stentorious, immovable and level line disclosure” and tote, we as of now discern is a junky disapproving.

Weak market the nonce is scrambling in regurgitate a rug aloof this candor.

Crack a joke my words at this point, if yourselves hankering. Hallowed watch and wait until the sphere-shaped Throw carriage trade hits. This relentlessness scene debased.

Automated File Management

bertverdonck — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:20:46 +0000

Do you have a lot of icons on your desktop? Working a lot with Office documents? Loosing your way in the structure of directories? Do you have a lot of files coming in, reviewing them and sending them back out again? A lot of temporary files to process?

Then Belvedere (Windows) or Hazel (Mac) is something for you!

Belvedere/Hazel keep your desktop or any other folder on your hard drive organized and under control. They are automated file management tools. Use their friendly interface to create advanced rules to move, copy, delete, rename, or open files based on their name, extension, size, creation date, and much more.

Size Does Matter

bertverdonck — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:09:27 +0000

It is great to write excellent Word-documents or generate complex Excel-documents. How about those creative Powerpoints, with maybe some inspiring pictures and popular music in it? And now people are asking you to mail it to them…Right, you have a 5MB email limit! Ouch! How could you send a 12MB Powerpoint or 6MB Word-file?

Another simple lifehack saves you time and frustration : NXPowerlite.

What does it do? It is an advanced compression tool, specialized in Microsoft Office documents.

How? Just download a trial version at http://www.nxpowerlite.com
Install it. Start the application and have your document shrinked to a fraction of its initial size, but of course with a similar quality as the original. NXPowerlite reduces easily 70 to 80% of your document’s size!

NXPowerlite is simple, no fuss! The way I like it :-)

information diet

I am trying hard to stay on the information diet. Today I worked like crazy to work through a couple of MB of data to give a good representation of sitevisits for a client. Whole day long I only checked email two times and stayed away from internet all together! Missing out on email, news and twitter surely made working more efficient. Got to keep this up at home, by trying to stay away from TV. Now busy cleening up my bookshelve and needing a solution for my magazines...

We all are sometimes sucked to our screen and wasting time on surfing the net from site to site. We often don't have a clue where we are going, but every time we find something useful and another interesting link, so we move on to the next website. Mmm, interesting pattern. There must be a shortcut, right?

I've been using an excellent Firefox plug-in called StumbleUpon, where you can channel your surfing behaviour to find great websites, rated by others who were looking for the same stuff (collaborative opinions). On top of that it learns what you like and brings you more...In short, Stumble Upon takes you directly to websites matching your personal interests and preferences.

The 4-Hour Workweek

Robbert Homburg — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:04:22 +0000

A few weeks ago I bought The 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. This week I read it in three nights and was very excited. Apart from the fact that everybody likes the idea of a four hour work week and doing whatever you want, tim gives a lot of input about how to do this and change your life! The DEAL concept is a great way to look at your life and change it. The first two are about setting your goals in life (business and personal) and eliminating all distracting elements to work more effective. The second two are about automating your cashflow, where you own a business and it can run without you, and living it large by doing what you want to do.

3 folders max!

bertverdonck — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:43:21 +0000

3 Folders max!

In addition to Pile, don’t file, I am suggesting to get rid of all your folders and subfolders in Outlook (or whatever mailclient). It is not worth the time setting them up, structuring, changing, adding new stuff to it! So, stop doing it ;-)

What’s next? Just create 3 folders instead. For me it works best if I place them as subfolders of my inbox. Less to drag ‘n drop, right! I named the last one “On hold”. Why? I park here all the (incoming) emails that require input or feedback from others before I need to process them.

My second folder is called “Followup”, because this is for all the emails I need to followup and take more than 2 minutes to execute. This is like a personal todo-list.

And finally the first folder (biggest 1!) is “Archive”. This is the pile of emails. Everything that is dealt with or doesn’t need any action or attention any more, is moved here.

How do I find mails back? Easy, with Xobni (link with LinkedIn now!) or Google Desktop. I’ll bet you, that I am faster at retrieving any mail than you and your (old) tree of folders! And I can keep up much better with larger amounts of incoming mails as well, because it takes less time to save them “somewhere”.

Enjoy this lifehack,

wedding weekend is over

Robbert Homburg — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:25:59 +0000

This weekend was wedding weekend. Yesterday we were at a wedding of friends. The location was very nice, the old botanical gardens in Utrecht. Hidden in the city center but a great garden and building this is! After a big shower i the morning the weather cleared up and it was a gorgeous day after all. Sometimes it seems that during a wedding the weather is always good. Today we went up to our weddinglocation to take another look with our MC's and discuss our plans. These guys are really creative! It is going to be great!

A few months a go I committed myself to preparing the week in advance on sunday. This way I have a headstart on mondays. Actually this is the first time since may I really got to do this. Being to busy in weekends is not a good recipe for this!

Read faster

bertverdonck — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:51:33 +0000

We all want to do more in less time. We all wished we could read faster to read more. This wish is now granted!

Download Rapidreader and go through the training exercise (max. 15 minutes). I am normally not a big fan of tutorials, but in this case I am glad I made an exception :-)

What does Rapidreader do for you? It trains you to read faster. Not just a little bit, but way beyond your dreams! It looks like so simple, but it's so effective, wow!

Last week I took the train to Brussels and read more than 60 pages of an ebook in under 30 minutes! My reading speed went up to 350 words/minute. If you know that average people read about 100 words/minute on paper and about 80 words on screen, you'd agree this is pretty awesome, right? And of course, in the train, I got distracted several times, people passing by, showing my ticket to the conductor, etc. At home in my office, my speed goes up to 500 words/minute quite easily! Full throtle...

Still sceptic about it? Download it and testdrive it! It sounds too good to be true, but hey, that's what lifehakcing is all about :-) How often do you find a free tool to increase your reading speed with at least 300% in under 15 minutes!?!

Final remark : you do read all the words, nothing is left out like in other smartreading or speed reading courses...And you do remember a lot, according to studies even more than that you would have read at a slower pace.

Enjoy every day,

F8 saves the day!

bertverdonck — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:25:49 +0000

I will bring you a number of articles regarding the so-called "battle for speed & efficiency" between your mouse and your keyboard. What’s going on? We are all using both, but sometimes one of them is significantly faster than the other to perform the same task. No matter what happens, you win all the time :-)

Now, most people bet their money on the mouse, while actually, I am betting mine on my keyboard, or any keyboard if you like...

Today I am starting with a first “battle”, selecting text in MS Word (inspired by 100 Lifehacking Tips (Dutch)). We all want to select 1 word or 1 sentence from a Word-document at some point in time. So, most people get confronted with selecting a whole page instead of that particular paragraph or a sentence rather than a single word.

How? Easy! Just press 3 times the F8 key (at the top of your keyboard) to select an entire sentence. That’s all!

This is the secret lifehack: the number of times you press F8:

1 * F8 activates the selection modus.
2 * F8 selects a single word
3 * F8 selects a sentence (from capital to fullstop)
4 * F8 selects a paragraph
5 * F8 selects a selection of the document or the whole document (hit F8 once more!)

Please do try this at home (and at work!). Pretty fast, right?

Enjoy every day,

Lifehacking

Michiel Verheij — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:45:15 +0000

Lifehack
De term life hack verwijst naar onconventioneel gebruik van ICT en andere simpele non-ICT hulpmiddelen die je helpen om te gaan met overvloed aan informatie. Of, om het simpel te stellen, inventieve trucs om je (digitale) leven makkelijker te maken. Er wordt ook wel gesproken over ‘vleugje MacGyver’ over je dagelijkse werkzaamheden. Thema’s als persoonlijke ontwikkeling, time-management en kennismanagement komen samen in lifehacking.

Information overload / kennis overschot
Iedereen kent de voorbeelden van de mailbox die overstroomt, de websites die nog bekeken moeten worden, de to-do lijstjes die overal rondslingeren, de Post-it briefjes met mensen die nog gebeld moeten worden. We hebben wel geleerd om te e-mailen, en hoe onze voice-mail af te luisteren, maar niet om daar zo mee om te gaan, dat die zaken ons leven leuker en makkelijker maken, in plaats van ingewikkelder. Anders gezegd, hoe profiteer je wel van de lusten maar vermijd je de lasten die de huidige tijd met zich meebrengt.

Kenniswerkers
De groep mensen in onze samenleving die dagelijks bezig is met het omgaan met, en produceren van informatie en kennis, wordt steeds groter. We doen een heleboel dubbel werk, zonder te weten dat ons een hoop werk uit handen genomen kan worden door kennis te nemen van veelal gratis technologie en kennis, binnen handbereik door het internet, maar ook handiger manieren van werken. De kenniswerkers van nu, hebben vaak nog geen idee van de mogelijkheden die de netwerk- en informatiesamenleving biedt. Ook mensen die niet hele dagen achter een computerscherm zitten kunnen voordeel halen door lifehacks te gebruiken.

Hulpmiddelen
Op de website Lifehacking.nl vind je allerlei tips en trucs die je kunnen helpen in je dagelijkse werk. Ook vind je op Nu.nl dagelijks een artikel over lifehacking. Uiteraard zijn er net als ik hele volksstammen die alleen in de vakantie toekomen aan de boeken die ze willen lezen. Voor die mensen is er nu het lifehacking boek dat je kunt bestellen of kunt downloaden als pdf en dan kunt uitprinten op het werk, als je daar tijd voor hebt. Andere interessante sites zijn onder andere www.lifehack.org, www.davidco.com, http://lifehacker.com, www.43folders.com.

Living as a lifehacker?

bertverdonck — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:39:28 +0000

How to start living as a lifehacker?
10 life changing tips, so you can have a life :-)

1. Create a system, even if you live in an unstructured way (like I do :-) )
2. Clear your head by getting things out of your head
3. Pile, don’t file (digitize your documents, reduce # of folders, you search anyway)
4. Park on a down inward slope (set yourself up, so you get started faster (e.g. little bug to fix))
5. Build strong(er) filters (protect your time, unsubscribe if you don’t read stuff)
6. Clear the clutter (clear away, create space, clean desk?)
7. Make your to-do’s doable. (every task small, discrete, clear, do it like you would assign a digital assistant, make the easy thing the right thing)
8. Stimulate an agile attitude, always on the lookout for improvement, do things better, faster, easier with a tweak of fun.
9. Implement tools on tools, like Floort on Twitter
10. Be grateful and help others in being more efficient and share your knowledge

Now that you know these 10 outstanding tips of how to become a real lifehacker, what are you going to do with it? Join me :-)
