Friday OT #1 - Little Obsessions

[ISUME]

HERE IS THE BEST TIME SAVING / EMAIL ORGANIZING EVER:

When you read an email simply delete it (if junk and completely worthless), reply (if needed), or do nothing. That's it. DO NOT CREATE FOLDERS for emails and try to have some structure of organizing based on folders. When email client programs (Outlook, etc.) became the fad, I noticed that people were spending WAY too much time sorting.

I'd hear them ask questions like "I had an old email from Bob at Acme Inc. regarding Product X-123 that was used the Falcon Project. - Did I have that filed in the Bob folder, the Acme folder, the X-123 folder or the Falcon folder?"

Why? The email search function works fine. Just keep them in your inbox (not folders) and let the search function do its job. Eventually some company began to promote the same concept (esp. Google).

The only issue with this is inbox size capacity limits.

I must be a monster because my iPhone has over 2500 email notifications on it at this very moment.

I also must have the tv volume on an even number BUT numbers that end in 5 are also acceptable (15, 25, 35, etc.)

Same here

I have to put my left sock/shoe on first.

Left sock-left shoe, right sock-right shoe or left sock-right sock, left shoe-right shoe? We need answers...

Left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe

I can't stand when calendars are on the wrong month or when a clock is the wrong time. Some of my friends obviously don't care to change their clocks for daylight savings right away. I have fixed their time quickly when they left the room. My OCD fanatics.

I hate it when people say Daylight Savings Time. IT'S NOT SAVINGS, IT'S SAVING

It also have to have the temp in my truck set for 72 or 75. Maybe 70 or 68. Anything else freaks me out :twitcy:

The only issue with this is inbox size capacity limits.

Everything in my work e-mail is automatically archived to my hard drive off the server after 2 weeks. I have one other folder besides my inbox to save stuff I definitely need to follow up on. Everything else I leave in the inbox until it archives. It doesn't take up capacity but I can still search for them. I can't count the number of times it's useful to search for an old e-mail to get a contact, figure out what date something was, etc. I only delete stuff that's obviously junk.

that's what I'm finally running into after 5 years of working at the same place. Having to delete stuff now.

Just remembered- my main kitchen light has three separate switches, one of which is not in synch, so at least one of them shows on when it is off, so matter what combination I try.

haha - this doesn't bother me at all, but it did remind me of something funny. We have the same setup, and we also have two toddlers in our house. I love to see the confusion on their faces when they go to turn the light on or off and get the one that is opposite. You can see them trying to figure out WTF is going on. They've learned the correct way, and when confronted with a lightswitch that is up when the light is off just blows their minds. It only takes a few seconds for them to get it, but the its fun seeing them stop cold and stare at it for a bit.

Every work email in my inbox has to be put in the individual project folders I have setup at the end of the week. Otherwise it becomes a mess and drives me nuts.

Toilet Paper has to roll out from the top, not from behind.

I was a longtime underneath guy, but I became an over-the-top person, for some reason.

I still suggest underneath method if kittens are in the home.

when eating a meal, I typically try to save a portion of my favorite part of the meal for last. End on a good bite.

I want to get back to this. And only have emails that still need follow-up hanging in the inbox.

That's just good sense.

 

[cowgirl836]

I eat some things in the order of delicious, saving the best for last.

So for Skittles, it's:

lime (apple I'd probably toss), orange, yellow, purple, red.

Starburst:

orange, yellow, red, pink............if it's favereds, then it's just eat all of them!
