Life Hacks for Japan-bloggers?
On February 26, 2008 in Community building
As some of the regulars (and upcoming interviewees) might have noticed I have not been as quick with responses and as daily 
with DailyJ lately.
Between the guest blogging last month about the Japan-related web and the increased workload at my day job, I am feeling the burn. I’m sure it is good for me though, so I’m not giving up.
If you haven’t received a reply to your comment or email yet I apologise and I’ll make every effort to reply very soon.
I received some comments that made my day though and I just have to highlight them now. SouthOfReality just got a promotion (dinner is on him 
) and Chris might be franchising his English school! If that is not exciting news I don’t what is!
Now back to the handling comments and emails and posts and the-rest-of-life…
That is a lot to deal with, in other words, a problem. So like any good techno-geek I turned to the internet for help and found a solution on lifehacker.com. I love lifehacker!
They have an excellent article on organising your email. It talks about separating your To-Dos from email by taking emails-you-need-to-take-action-on and putting reminders about them in your to-do list (or calendar).
Probably most of you know (or should know) about NihonHacks but I wonder how many knew about sites like lifehacker.com (or lifehack.org)?
You have a great thing going here, so I hope it doesn’t burn you out.
Lifehacker is great! I used to just email myself things that I needed to do but I ended up with a constant list of unread emails… then I found http://www.rememberthemilk.com through lifehacker and now I can keep it all under control
Hi ChrisG,
Thanks for commenting and the encouraging words!
I’m going to do everything I can to keep chugging along.
I can relate to the constant list of unread emails. I had tried for a while to use my gmail as a to do list too and it just doesn’t work well.
I’ve heard of RememberTheMilk before but haven’t tried it out. Will do. Thanks for the tip!
