Lifehacker, tips and downloads for getting things done. The End-All Guide to Getting Out From Under Your Office Crap. Weekendhacker - Lifehacker. Organizing from the Inside Out: Form a Plan of Attack for Lifelong Organization. There are a few things I use to keep myself organized across three computers (XP netbook, Vista desktop my tech-illiterate husband uses, and 7 desktop that is in my (away from home) office).

The first one is XMarks, which keeps track of all of my bookmarks and passwords for me. I also have a copy of this in a text file in Dropbox and a physical, written on paper version for account information I absolutely must not lose. Then there is Dropbox. I use it for sharing files with others, as offsite backup for critical files, and for allowing myself to access my work files wherever I go with my netbook or to pass files to my husband's computer. For web clipping, I use the Zotero add-on for Firefox and OneNote. Flash drives are easy! To keep track of applications on my systems, I use Aston menu, and built a custom "My Menu" file for it that groups all of my apps according to purpose (writing, graphics, audio, video, computer utilities, etc.) and launches them with a single click.

This got me thinking about what other things I could do daily to reduce the clutter around our home. Here are 10 more uncluttering things you can do each day. Reset your home each evening. I hope this inspires you to do a little bit every day to keep ahead of the clutter and move toward a calmer and simpler life.
