don't make your bed

let's say that you spend a minimum of 5 minutes making our beds each morning. in a year, you spent 30 hours making your bed. you could have spent each 5 minutes to read a page out of a book instead.

I don't structure the blankets on my bed. I don't see the point in ordering the blankets when I'm just going to disorganize them later. I wonder how much time the average person wastes in a life time structuring their blankets. If your bed is against a wall, you have to move your entire bed to 'make your bed' adding the wasted time. I don't think anyone should take pride in fixing their bed. "I'm a responsible and disciplined person because I fix my bed" says the wrong person, but the truth is that you could take pride in having read maybe more than just one entire book by the end of the year. If someone uses their bed as a work place, I can see the point in making the bed, but you could always just move the top blanket aside.

how many clicks?

blogspot:
to blog a new post on blogspot is 3 clicks (if i'm logged in)
1. clicking www.blogspot.com
2. clicking "new post"
3. clicking "publish post"

facebook:
depends on what you do there but that takes about 5 clicks as well

gmail
takes about 5 clicks to open chats with some friends and check some mails

google reader
takes about 5 clicks too... i wish google reader and google talk would come together so I didn't ahve to be on gmail for google talk and google reader at the same time. i'm not sure how much memory and bandwidth that takes up.

bottom line is that I can't wait for google wave. where else is that awesome spell checker being implemented?
