Stationary Centre
I learned a trick not too long ago, where end-of-life kleenex boxes and paper rolls can be re-fashioned into a makeshift pencil holder.

Blueberry Best Practices
When you buy those clamshell pints of blueberries, I find it's best to move them into another container when you get home.
Primary reason is to avoid crushing the ones at the bottom, which take the weight of the other blueberries stacked on top. What can happen, I find, is that the bottom-blueberries get crushed and the flesh (which isn't blue, surprisingly) gets exposed to the air, lending itself to faster mold growth; first for that crushed berry, but also for the adjacent berries next to it.
It's not that much different than a zombie-apocalypse, accept its blueberry zombies, and it's mostly contained within that clamshell; though with the usual vents on those containers, it means your entire fridge is exposed.

Vaccuuming Tips
Mostly pertains to the vaccuming done with a wired vaccuum (think dirt devil). doesn't apply as much to others.
that way you can sling the cable around your neck. I know what you're thinking, relax. Just the back of the neck. Do NOT wrap it around the entire neck. Use the other hand to grab the rest of the cable that's going to the wall, to reduce the chance of the wire crossing over during the vaccuuming.
I've never attempted to wash my filter. Seems pretty counter-intuitive in getting dust OUT of the filter (it feels like it'll make it grip even more). So I usually just pat out the dust, or use a pen-lid to pry out the stuck on stuff.
But you can use a bristled head attachment (most vaccuums usually come with one), or a hand-broom too, to get it out more effectively. Has sped up my vaccuuming session tons!

Keys to Life, Part II: KTL in C-Major
About a year ago, came up with some more followup thoughts to this post. Basically a revised list:
So hopefully it's pretty self-explanatory. And no, it's not all C's (that's why it's C-major and not C-total, har-har-har), but the theme of the message is that at some point in your life, one/some of these seven are going to be the subject of your focus to reach that next point of evolution in your being.
- Care/Compassion
Soft on the people (almost everybody has a story), hard on the issue - Context
Scenario, Timing, and Balance - Confidence
Knowing + Doing - Contacts
i.e. networking: who you know, not what you know - Completion/Comprehensiveness
Set your expectations (i.e. goals) and achieve/produce them - Commitment
You can't do #5 for everything. Pick your battles (#2 helps with the picking). But once they are, be in it to win it (sorry for all the cliches). - Hunt for your happiness
And have fun doing it! Half (or more) of that happiness is from the journey, as much as the destination!
So hopefully it's pretty self-explanatory. And no, it's not all C's (that's why it's C-major and not C-total, har-har-har), but the theme of the message is that at some point in your life, one/some of these seven are going to be the subject of your focus to reach that next point of evolution in your being.
