Remember those painted animal faces that seemed to follow you because of a neat little optical illusion? Well, somebody has taken that same trick and used a jack-o-lantern’s face as a substitute instead. Now this jack-o-lantern looks like it’s always looking at you wherever you walk.
Using the desktop as a temporary dump space
October 12, 2009 @ 9:32 pm
I’ve been reading a few things about maximizing productivity while using a computer and one of the more simple and useful tricks I’ve learned is to use the desktop as a daily temporary dump space. This means that at the end of the day (or session), I try my hardest to get rid of everything on my desktop except for my Time Machine, My HDD, and an extra folder I’ve designated to sit on my desktop called “TO MOVE”.
This forces me to actually make good use of the folders already in place on my computer that are there to help me keep my digital files organized. It seems trivial, but believe it or not, this single tip is by far the most important workflow tool I’ve gained in the past couple of years. Plus, it’s nice to close my windows at the end of the day and not be bombarded by an overflow of unorganized icons.

I always get the impression that Japanese people are ultra-efficient and this video proves my point. You don’t have to understand the words being spoken to see just how amazing these morning tips and tricks are in helping you get out of the door as quickly as possible.
Keep watching until the end to see how you too can put on your pants without any hands, how you can put on your suit jacket in one quick step, and how you can tie a neck tie with just a few loops and a pull.
Thanks Yun for the video!
