Enter a search term and you\u2019ll be presented with a grid display of work by dozens or hundreds of contemporary designers. You can save your favorite images to any number of \u201cbuckets\u201d for later perusal. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flossing better:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe civilized way to floss is to use a long-handled floss bow so you don\u2019t keep putting your fingers deep into your mouth. I\u2019ve been using Reach Access Flosser for many years, now rebranded as <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2sntYV4\" target=\"_blank\">Listerine Ultraclean Reach<\/a>. Rinse after use, and replace the cheap tiny bow as needed. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Big bag of cashews:<\/strong><br \/>\nI snack on nuts all day long. A couple of months ago I discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2sIZx8P\" target=\"_blank\">Happy Belly nuts<\/a> on Amazon. The price is good (a 40-ounce bag of cashews costs $19) and the nuts are fresh and tasty. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outsourcing:<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m productive because I outsource my detail work to global freelancers. If I can specify a job, it can be assigned to one of a million expert freelancers working somewhere in the world. Often for cheap, always fast, and securely. I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Upwork<\/a> (which used to be called Elance and oDesk). It\u2019s a reliable system. I can find programmers, web and graphic designers, artists, photoshop experts, transcribers, marketing mavens, and so on. Their work is a good as anyone you might hire. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offline travel guides:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/guides\" target=\"_blank\">Guides by Lonely Planet<\/a> was so helpful on my recent trip through Central Europe. I had no cell service, but through the app I was able to download offline maps and navigate to points of interests (bars, shops, sights) while learning more about the cities I visited. Also invaluable, was the currency converter, tipping etiquette and local phrasebook. I plan on using the San Francisco guide, even though I live in the city, to keep my vacation spirit alive. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google search tip:<\/strong><br \/>\nTo find websites similar to your favorites, go to google.com and search for <i>related:somesite.com<\/i>.
