Day 14: My favourite EDS lifehack
There was a life before and after my hEDS probs gone worse.
I don't regret one day when I overwhelmed my body.
Ok, my multiple Orthosis are a necessary help in my life...like the gear to polish my car....😂😂Whithout all that small ergonomic helpers like splints or just a remote life would be much more complicated....and painful.
But for me the "ultimate" lifehack is to accept in a daily challenge not to go above my limits....that's hard because I loved to get over it in my "normal" life which I had before. 😂
To rest is the best thing I could do for my body.....but who wants to rest the whole day??...that makes you sick in the long run too.
I enjoy every day when I'm able to go up and do what I love most.....and there are a few things...💖👨👩👧👦🐕🐈🐈🌅🚙🔊📷🔦⚡🌻 #Sony a6000 + #samyang 12/2,0 lens + Magilight by #Fotorgear in a single shot.

I noticed the other day that I was wasting a lot of time getting ready in the morning. I had to constantly be picking up and putting away grooming items, increasing the time required and the probability of dropping them on the floor. With a few strips of common cellophane tape several irritating tasks become an extra bit of fun in my morning!

Origami (折り紙) means a folding paper in Japanese. And a pod is an 5x3 index card holder that plays a keyrole in the PoIC system. Let's make it by ourselves :)
Print the template on 3 sheets of A4 size paper. A paper should not be too thin or too thick. Find appropriate paper that bears open-close action of the accordion.
# I found a paper I use here was still thin. Choose thicker paper like this when you try. ;)

Using the principles behind such innovations as "warchalking" -- the process of manually noting, with chalk, in real-life, where to find wi-fi signals -- I've begun the process of "wartagging," namely, the process of aggressively tagging things around me, in order to unclutter my own personal data. After this is done, I plan to go to my friends' houses and do the same thing.
This very serious video shows the possibility of retreating into a dark forest if you really want a change in life. 👍😉

Het leven is tegenwoordig misschien moeilijk. In veel regio's moeten mensen afstand tot elkaar houden en vaak weet je niet hoe je dat moet doen. Waar je ook heen gaat, je hebt altijd veel mensen om je heen die veel te dichtbij komen. Zelfs de domme maskers die je vaak ziet, helpen niet. Je kunt in zulke situaties niet zomaar weglopen, maar je moet wel met een kleine groep weglopen. Bijvoorbeeld in een nabijgelegen bos. Vergeet niet dat het kan regenen en dat het koud kan worden. Vergeet dus niet om tenten mee te nemen, één tent per persoon, zodat je nooit te dichtbij komt. Vergeet niet om een kampvuur mee te nemen dat lang genoeg brandt, zodat je het midden in de nacht niet koud krijgt zonder vuur. Vergeet niet je hoofd te beschermen zodat er geen vreemde voorwerpen kunnen binnendringen, die je mogelijk kunnen storen. Het kan ook zijn dat het kampvuur niet zo lang brandt als je wilt. Zorg er daarom voor dat u LED-lampen en batterijen meeneemt, zodat de tent net zo helder als overdag kan worden verlicht. Dit is de enige manier om wakker te blijven en op te passen voor verdachte mensen die op minder dan de minimale afstand van u komen. Als u aan alles heeft gedacht, kunt u een ontspannende tijd doorbrengen, weg van alle zorgen en zorgen. Het enige gevaar is dat wilde dieren uw rust verstoren.
Hot glue a 1x2 plate onto those hard-to-see-into drawers and put a sample element on the front. Add a second "support plate" if you need a different attachment point. Low cost, easy to customize, easy to swap out things as needs shift.
This has made a big difference to my "where the heck did I put those" headache levels.
The box for hanging files was made from cardboard with wooden ends, metal strips as rails, and handles made from fence straining wire.
The large files will be condensed into the mini filing system after extracting core information. The two bulging files simply labled 'Garden' (hm, where in this pile is the article on growing figs?) will be transfered to fact A6 sheets and sorted by plant and other garden related subject. I tried to fit the template onto an A7 sheet, but it would be a bit crowded, so this one will be an A6 rack.

Makeup is a real art that requires certain skills and knowledge.
In this post, I will share with you the life hacks of professional makeup artists. Following their advice, you will be able to create the perfect makeup for the whole day and look flawless.
Secret
number 1. Start any makeup with lip balm. When it's the turn of the lipstick (usually at the very end), they will become soft and it will be easier to make up.
💎 Secret No .2. Before applying makeup, be sure to use the base. It will help to even out the skin tone and make your makeup more resistant.
💎 Secret number 3. Everyone knows that the boundaries of the foundation should not be visible: it must be carefully shaded, especially along the hairline. But for some reason everyone forgets about the ears!
💎 Secret number 4. Also, do not forget about concealer to hide dark circles under the eyes and other skin imperfections.
💎Secret number 5. To emphasize makeup, there are highlighters and bronzers. The rule of their application says – dark shades are applied to areas that need to be reduced, light and sparkling products are distributed over convex areas. For example, a golden or mother-of-pearl highlighter indicates cheekbones, a small amount is applied to the dimple under the chin, on the forehead and the back of the nose. Dark matte powder or bronzer is used for sculpting. It is applied under the cheekbones and lower jaw, to narrow the face, you can emphasize the temples. It is important to carefully blend the borders so that the effect of spots on the face is not created.
Secret number 6. Many girls do not dye their eyelashes correctly. Move the brush zigzag upwards from the roots to the tips. This simple technique helps to visually open your eyes. And this way you can give them an almond shape – only you need to move the brush not strictly upwards, but towards the outer corner of the eye.
💎 Secret number 7. If you apply a gloss under a matte lipstick, the lip skin will look like satin. Don't you like well-defined lips? Apply lipstick with your fingers.

After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".
So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.
On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.
On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.
There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.
The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

I love my Hipster PDA, but since I spend most of my time at my desk, I needed something a little more accessible. I created a desktop graphic to track the status of my ongoing projects. Using post-its makes it easy to repeat tasks - I simply move the tag back to the DO ME side of the screen!

Inspired by the need to carry a lot of little bits and bobs around with me and wanting to create a nice home for my new hipster or chester(due to where its worn now) I came up with the body bag/bibster MkI , made with linen and cotton fabric. The next one will be a little more sturdy. I found a black leather jacket in a charity shop, and when I get the buckles and studs, I will make - sorry, can't resist another pun - a kinkster.

A better picture of my little back pocket hipster, with some to-do slips added and my darling little Birdie. Oh, this is Munchkin land.
The pad is 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" and I carry it in my back pocket all the time, and don't notice it one bit, even with the pencil and clip.
There is more on my organising stuff on my website www.judyofthewoods.net/organised.html with a lot more to come soon

I unfortunately stopped by 43folders.com and started reading stuff there. Ordered GTD but already set up tickler and reference folders (I probably have yet to discover why hanging files are bad).
For anyone making their own hipsterPDA, here a few ideas for binders.

You may need to view the biggest version to make sense of it. The method is from Keri Smith's book Living Out Loud. Requires one sheet of A4 or US Letter paper. Produces one sixteen page booklet that fits nicely in a pocket for making notes or scribbling. Perfect for those too damn cheap to use Merlin's HipsterPDA - or just not that hip.
I'm so unhip it's a wonder my bum doesn't fall off.
it's possible to get even cheaper tickets between brighton and london.. if you know how to hack the system :)
14 Ways to Cultivate a Lifetime Reading Habit
Somewhere after “lose weight”, “stop procrastinating”, and “fall in love”, “read more” is one of the top goals that many people set for themselves. And rightly so: A good book can be hugely satisfying, can teach you about things beyond your daily horizons, and can create characters so vivid you feel as if you really know them.
If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are a number of ways to cultivate it.
First, realize that reading is highly enjoyable, if you have a good book. If you have a lousy book (or an extremely difficult one) and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a chore. If this happens for several days in a row, consider abandoning the book and finding one that you’ll really love.
Other than that, try these tips to cultivate a lifetime reading habit:
Set times. You should have a few set times during every day when you’ll read for at least 5-10 minutes. These are times that you will read no matter what — triggers that happen each day. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch (and even dinner if you eat alone). And if you also read every time you’re sitting on the can, and when you go to bed, you now have four times a day when you read for 10 minutes each — or 40 minutes a day. That’s a great start, and by itself would be an excellent daily reading habit. But there’s more you can do.
Always carry a book. Wherever you go, take a book with you. When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my drivers license, my keys and my book, at a minimum. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go, unless I know I definitely won’t be reading (like at a movie). If there is a time when you have to wait (like at a doctor’s office or at the DMV), whip out your book and read. Great way to pass the time.
Make a list. Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in your journal, in a pocket notebook, on your personal home page, on your personal wiki, wherever. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book, online or in person. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you read. Tech trick: create a Gmail account for your book list, and email the address every time you hear about a good book. Now your inbox will be your reading list. When you’ve read a book, file it under “Done”. If you want, you can even reply to the message (to the same address) with notes about the book, and those will be in the same conversation thread, so now your Gmail account is your reading log too.
Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair (don’t lay down unless you’re going to sleep) and curl up with a good book without interruptions. There should be no television or computer near the chair to minimize distractions, and no music or noisy family members/roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
Reduce television/Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on TV or Internet consumption. This may be difficult for many people. Still, every minute you reduce of Internet/TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
Read to your kid. If you have children, you must, must read to them. Creating the reading habit in your kids is the best way to ensure they’ll be readers when they grow up … and it will help them to be successful in life as well. Find some great children’s books, and read to them. At the same time, you’re developing the reading habit in yourself … and spending some quality time with your child as well.
Keep a log. Similar to the reading list, this log should have not only the title and author of the books you read, but the dates you start and finish them if possible. Even better, put a note next to each with your thoughts about the book. It is extremely satisfying to go back over the log after a couple of months to see all the great books you’ve read.
Go to used book shops. My favorite place to go is a discount book store where I drop off all my old books (I usually take a couple of boxes of books) and get a big discount on used books I find in the store. I typically spend only a couple of dollars for a dozen or more books, so although I read a lot, books aren’t a major expense. And it is very fun to browse through the new books people have donated. Make your trip to a used book store a regular thing.
Have a library day. Even cheaper than a used book shop is a library, of course. Make it a weekly trip.
Read fun and compelling books. Find books that really grip you and keep you going. Even if they aren’t literary masterpieces, they make you want to read — and that’s the goal here. After you have cultivated the reading habit, you can move on to more difficult stuff, but for now, go for the fun, gripping stuff. Stephen King, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Nora Roberts, Sue Grafton, Dan Brown … all those popular authors are popular for a reason — they tell great stories. Other stuff you might like: Vonnegut, William Gibson, Douglas Adams, Nick Hornby, Trevanian, Ann Patchett, Terry Pratchett, Terry McMillan, F. Scott Fitzgerald. All excellent storytellers.
Make it pleasurable. Make your reading time your favorite time of day. Have some good tea or coffee while you read, or another kind of treat. Get into a comfortable chair with a good blanket. Read during sunrise or sunset, or at the beach.
Blog it. One of the best ways to form a habit is to put it on your blog. If you don’t have one, create one. It’s free. Have your family go there and give you book suggestions and comment on the ones you’re reading. It keeps you accountable for your goals.
Set a high goal. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year (or some other number like that). Then set about trying to accomplish it. Just be sure you’re still enjoying the reading though — don’t make it a rushed chore.
Have a reading hour or reading day. If you turn off the TV or Internet in the evening, you could have a set hour (perhaps just after dinner) when you and maybe all the members of your family read each night. Or you could do a reading day, when you (and again, your other family members if you can get them to join you) read for practically the whole day. It’s super fun.
Have any tips for creating the reading habit? Or any favorite books or authors to share?

Details of my home desk's cord management.
Clockwise from top left:
1) All electric sockets are banded to the bottom of the table. There's approximately five meters (or 15 feet) of that metal band underneath my desk.
2) The switch is also tightly attached to the desk underbelly. Wireless router is located elsewhere.
3) SCART sockets for all my audio / video needs. The extra cords from the other PC somewhat block the view.
4) The longer metal band keeps the heavier transformer in place on an upside-down socket.

Just started experimenting with a magnet board, mind-mapping and algorithm to get order and an overview into my atomic to-do list. Soon ran out of magnets, so I only grouped the to-do slips roughly. I am still at the very start of this design process. But, boy, does that put fun into your task list. The inspiration came from this website alas, it is in German.
Update: this was one of the first experiment with this method. The method has been greatly refined. Please check out the Slip Method set and the serialised book on my website.
