I'm thinking about doing a series of posts about ways to organise your life so it runs more smoothly. The series would draw off books and blogs I've been reading over the last 5 years, and stuff I've been trying out in my own life. It'd cover a mix of big and small stuff, like:
- to-do lists
- managing projects
- keeping track of the big picture of what you want to do with your life
- paying bills on time
Is this something you'd be interested in? I imagine it'd depend quite a lot on people asking and answering questions in the comments, so I thought I'd throw it open for discussion now.

Useful links
Here's the stuff that made it through my cull of Google Reader this week:
Let's make some animated movies. I haven't played around with either of these sites yet, but the tutorials make it sound like it simply a matter of typing and clicking to create a short film. (h/t Pulp 2.0)
Xtranormal
Goanimate
Also over at Pulp 2.0, Bill Cunningham talks about having a 'pulp notes' file, a nice tool for storing fragments of dialogue and ideas for later use.
Let Michael Caine teach you about film-acting.
I link to Morgue linking to Matt and Jon's applications for the Evil League of Evil. Really good, sharp characteristions from both teams (and I suspect Morgue might also find himself in contention for his 15-second cameo as the Devil's Advocate.)
Vincent Baker has written a new fantasy RPG. At the moment it's free, because he wants to see if it's readable - is it communicating the play experience he wants?
Here's a hack to improve pretty anything in your life. I first read this on Seth Godin's blog, but Trent over at the Simple Dollar generalises it.
The Casual Kitchen compiles a whole bunch of links on low-cost cooking.
An overview of some of the thinking about climate change we'll be doing as a society and as individuals over the next few years. Check it out.
Some Paul Krugman and Americablog linkage to analysis of the financial crisis:
If you want to kick arse at folding t-shirts, then here's how: (a 22-second instructional video)
Have a great week
