Day 25: The almighty pushup

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I try to exercise daily, or every other day and can’t stress how much this has helped me emotionally (as well as physically, obviously). Lifehacker had a wonderful post about pushups a while back, and I believe it would be wonderful to include this in my daily routine, as well as create a daily, simple routine.  For this, I’ve employed youtube, to search for pushup, ‘ab’ and other workout videos.  I suggest the same!

Day 24: Mail, Snail Mail, and E-mail

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Another quick tip attached to an hour or so of labour.  Yesterday I received three credit card offers through the mail.  Twas quite bothersome indeed as I realized the amount of wasted paper (snail mail) and wasted time (e-mail) have been spent on bulk mail and e-mail.

So I’m spending the day opting out of every mail service and e-mail service I do not fervently care about. Trying to keep a tidy inbox, you know!

Any suggestions are always greatly appreciated!

Day 20: Water on a Simple Saturday

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Saturdays may be lazidasical here at 0wn 1t, with the week devoted to more heavy handed simplification techniques.  With this being said saturday, I propose a simple idea!

Drink Water!

Yeah, super simple.  Instead of drinking beverages brimming in refined sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup.  I will insert a slight rant here though. <rant> Bottle water is frivolous.</rant>  My plan from here on out can be described very simply; drink eight glasses of water a day and whenever I crave other beverages, you know… like Crystal Pepsi or Pepsi Blue or maybe some of that mad C2!

Day 17: What would you need to go Paperless?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

My apologies, however being a day behind, I’m attempting to catch up with two short posts about big topics I’ll muse more over on this week’s ‘Behind the Scenes’ post.  Anyway, what would you need to go Paperless?  I’m looking into how I will in fact do this, but I’d love to hear from you!  Today I just have that I plan to…

Go Paperless!

It’s that simple!  Who’s with me!  We can save the earth while simplifying down to a paperless living situation.  I’ll keep you all updated on how this goes.  A lot happened this week, and residual effects have been occuring from the past few weeks of all of this.  Check back soon!

Day 16: Social Networks and Privacy…

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Okay, I sadly do not really have the time to update ten social network profiles.  This blog is all about simplification, so why so many profiles?  Well, today I argue against using these to their fullest…  Yes, it’s always good to maximize at any times possible, but seriously - how much poking does it take to make a difference.

So for today, I propose ceasing major updates to Facebook, Myspace, Last.FM, Spock, and any other stray profiles I happen to have lying around.  On top of this, stripping these profiles of any unneeded information, simplifying them as much as possible.

Any thoughts?
