Since then I have continually made changes, added new extensions and improvements that I thought would improve my productivity. A goal early on was putting everything that I used into one toolbar so to maximize screen space. Here is what I’ve done so I only look at one toolbar and the tab bar [plus status bar]. The Menu Bar This is where you want all your stuff – because it’s the toolbar you can’t remove through Firefox’s Customize utility....

Use Flickr. (This presumes that you have a Flickr account and internet access.) Flickr as a Presentation Tool This might also make for an easy-to-understand web presentation tool for small businesses or organizations who don’t want (or can’t afford) to buy PowerPoint or Keynote. If nothing else, it’s yet another way to present information. And if you use that micro-hack I put in there about taking photos with the points somehow incorporated into the setting of the photo, let me know....
Sun Tzu’s seminal work “The Art of War” has been referenced for millennia by historians, military tacticians, and world leaders. In fact, the book is still recommended reading for the US Marine Corps.

In the previous parts of the series we were discussing what to do once everything is perfectly laid out.

What is Heuristic Decision Making? Heuristics is originally a Greek word that means to find. Heuristics are unconscious ways that we process information more quickly than if we were to think about it consciously. The brain takes mental shortcuts to save time by thinking logically about things.
