Best productivity hacks<\/strong>
\nDozens of different methods to increase one\u2019s productivity are explained, compared, and ranked on this 16-minute video,\u00a0The Best Productivity Hacks.<\/a> The rankings are immaterial, but the brief explanations and evaluations are excellent and helpful. I learned a few new tricks, and was reminded of other hacks I had forgotten. It\u2019s the best, most succinct roundup of productivity techniques I\u2019ve seen. The few minutes I spent watching this have already repaid hours of better work. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

A better soldering iron<\/strong>
\nI used a cheap soldering iron for years, but recently upgraded to\u00a0Toauto Soldering Station<\/a>. The temperature control and fast heat-up make a world of difference. It\u2019s also nice having a solid base to hold the iron instead of the lightweight springy stand my old soldering iron came with, which would slide around the table. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Inconspicuous bookmarks<\/strong>
\nLevenger Page Nibs<\/a>\u00a0(50pk, $20) make all other bookmarks look primitive. They are beautifully made \u2014 stamped and made of copper. You just slide one on to the page and click it into place. They are paper thin and won\u2019t damage your books. I find these are so useful for marking recipe pages, and passages I want to scan. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

How to sew a button<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been sewing on buttons the wrong way my entire life. This\u00a0wordless visual guide<\/a> shows the right way to do it. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Visual wit<\/strong>
\nEvery couple of days the musician\/artist\u00a0David Byrne posts on his Instagram<\/a> a picture of something interesting he notices: a juxtaposition of forms, an odd alignment of shadows, something offbeat, the unexpectedly original in the mundane, or one moment of aha. That\u2019s it. Because he notices, I notice. And then I notice more on my own. Small joys. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

One sentence email tips<\/strong>
\nMy work revolves around my inbox, so I really appreciate Josh Spector\u2019s collection of40 concepts to help you write better emails and optimize your inbox<\/a>. Below are some good ones. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

2. The more ideas you try to communicate in a single email, the more likely one will be overlooked.
\n5. You don\u2019t need to sign your name at the end of your email\u200a\u2014\u200athe recipient knows who it\u2019s from.
\n7. The more your email sounds like you speak, the more effective it will be.
\n25. If you\u2019re not working on email now, your inbox shouldn\u2019t be open now.
\n29. The most important sentence in any email is the first one.
\n38. No one ever says \u201cI wish the paragraphs in that email were longer.\u201d
\n39. Every email should tell the recipient what you want them to do after they read it.<\/em><\/p>\n
