One of my resolutions is to Invent a tradition (oxymoron acknowledged), and one of my favorite new traditions is the holiday breakfast.
On holidays, I try to make breakfast festive. This is a great tradition because it's fun, easy, and quick. It doesn't take much to dress up breakfast.
With computers becoming even more central than ever in the information age, many people are looking for ways to “unclutter” their hard drives. Sometimes the default structure just isn’t quite enough to organize things quickly and efficiently. For those that favor web applications, there have been quite a few pieces of organizational software written for both Mac and PC.
This one's for the green saint. Say cheers to this easy bar cart which you can put together in half an hour. Thanks to Typhanie.
"I'm sure someone has done this hack before because it's really easy but I'm still proud of what I did. This can be a bar cart or a bedside table."
The Lack side tables are attached with Liquid nails.

Recently in the Unclutterer Forums, reader Knyghtmaire started the interesting thread “Capturing Meeting Notes” and asked:

The answers that follow are wonderful and shed light on the different ways we all work.
When I was single and messy, I was told on three occasions that I would “never get a man” because I didn’t have the skills to “properly keep house.” As offensive as these statements were (ugh!), what upset me the most was that the people who said them never would have said something similar to a man.
In the comments to last week’s post “10 more unclutterin
My wife and I have looked at somewhere around a dozen vehicles in the last month as we search for a replacement for my truck that will be capable of seating five (and preferably capable of seating more).
Rather than rushing in and just buying the first option we find that minimally matches our needs, we’re being patient.
Ever wonder how to sell a lot of books in a market that’s, um…nuts?
Many of you guys know I write a second blog called Tribal Author that covers the wacky world of book marketing.
By WC Porter A year ago, I wrote a piece called Cash is King: Now What Should I do With It?
After going through all the responsible options of what I could do with our pile of cash, I added one last one: what if I just threw it in the stock market and tried to double it?
Obviously, the fear of getting stabbed and divorced by my wife told me that this wasn't worth it—the risk was too h
It all started when I was feeling overwhelmed in the development of Empire Building Kit, my biggest business project of the year.
I’ve been working hard on it for weeks, but with all the material I’m putting in, I could see it would need more time.
Then I started making plans for the big trip I’m starting later tonight.
Fitness, in the past, has not been a big part of my life and I imagine that's true for many people reading this. I want that to change.I don't like running out of breath, aching after minimal movement and not being able to do the things I want to do just because I'm not physically prepared for them. For the longest time I felt this was just who I was.
Sometimes, a client will come to you with a fabulous project: something that you want to work on that just happens to be open-ended and will pay a nice chunk of your bills for months to come.

Before I changed my habits, I spent money without much thought. In college, if I had a two-hour break between classes, I’d drive to the mall. Once I started working full time, my coworker and I would bring our lunches to work just so that we’d have the entire hour to shop.
From the No Impact Project:It’s the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Let’s do something about it. Turn off your TV. Stop shopping. Eat a carrot. Get on a bike. Put a moratorium on litter. And join us for an action-oriented screening of No Impact Man. During the week of Earth Day 2010, the No Impact Project, Slow Food USA and 1Sky are bringing people together to watch, discuss and act.
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Joe Hashey. ShareOdd object training is nothing new, but it has once again started to regain popularity. Odd object training was once done out of necessity. People did not have the means to procure state of the art training equipment, or it just wasn’t invented yet.
