Tab Resize Automatically Organizes Tabs Into Preset Layouts

Come on, now. You spent the money on a nice, big monitor, and yet you're still using Ctrl-Tab to bounce between open tabs like a chump. Try Tab Resize, to automatically spread them out into side-by-side, preset layouts. Tab Resize is great for those times when you need to read something in one tab while writing in another. Simply choose a layout and the extension will automatically create new windows using the tabs to the right of the one you're currently in until your screen is filled.

Say "No" by Default to Reduce Information Overload

"Everyone needs to read this!" is frequently a lie. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff in the never-ending flood of "important" links in your feeds? As with most time-management techniques, start by saying "No" a lot. There's no shortage of news, galleries, videos, and other content for virtually any topic in the world, and they're all important. You need to be up to date on what's going on with the new iPhone, Syria, California's minimum wage, the most recent natural disaster, and Twitter's IPO, right? Well, maybe not, according to Unclutterer: Here’s some final advice from Rhone, about deciding whether or not to let an information source into your life, be it an article someone linked to, a podcast, an RSS feed, a magazine, or anything else: “No is the default.” If something is truly important, he says, multiple people will point him to it, and that might lead to a Yes. Waiting for multiple recommendations can help sift through more than just internet links. Chances are that if there's a TV show, movie, or event you really need to spend time or money on, you can find a few friends who are willing to share it with you. Obviously you don't have to wait for the crowd to confirm every decision you make, but unless you're doing your own research or exploration, stick with the "no" until given a reason to do otherwise.

"Lost Time is Never Found Again"

Every time we put something off, the excuse is some variation of the same: "I'll get to it later. I won't be long. I've got plenty of time." Once that moment is gone, though, it's gone forever. While it may be tempting to think that it's okay if you spend the next 14 hours on Facebook because you've got a long weekend, the truth is you'll never get those minutes back. You can allocate future time to doing tasks you could do now, but that's essentially spending on credit.

We Need to Work Smarter, Not Harder

We're all just so "busy" these days. "Slammed" in fact. "Buried." Desperately "trying to keep our heads above water." While these common responses to "How are you?" seem like they're lifted from the Worst Case Scenario Handbook, there seems to be a constant exchange, even a a one-upping, of just how much we have on our plates when we communicate about our work.
