What I’ve Learned in 10 Years of Zen Habits
Unbelievably, this month marks 10 years since I started Zen Habits. I’ve had an amazing decade, and I’d like to reflect on those years today.
I’ve seen so much change in the last 10 years that I can’t possibly reflect on all of it.
Just a few examples of how my life has changed:

Expand Evernote’s usefulness with the Web Clipper
by David Caolo
Here at Unclutterer, we love Evernote. I’ve often called it “my external brain,” and consider it just that. I’ve used it to create a digital journal, manage recipes, and Erin has used it to organize her busy family life. Today I’ll talk about an oft-overlooked feature: the web clipper.
Evernote’s web clipper can be added on to your web browser to act as a useful go-between from the internet and Evernote. That is to say, it lets you quickly move information — links, articles, quotes, etc. — from a web browser to Evernote without requiring you to open the sof...
How Students Can Combat Seasonal Depression
By Robert Parmer
This winter has already proven to be particularly extreme, as many parts of the country are facing unusually low temps and record snowfall. Aside from the obvious inconveniences associated with excessive snow, an often overlooked consolation to extreme winter weather presents its
Grad School Survival: What You MUST Do to Finish Your Thesis
Grad school started out really well for me.
I was enamored with my thesis topic (yes, really) and I had a great relationship with my thesis supervisor.
During my first year I had lunch with a postdoc, and I told her how well everything was going.
“Just wait,” she said, rolling her eyes.
“One day, you will be so tired of grad school. During my last last few month I couldn’t stand looking at my thesis anymore.”
I didn’t take her comments seriously.
I assumed that the last semester of grad school would be “rough” because there would be a lot of writing, but I did...

by Jeri Dansky on January 5, 2017
Reduce, reuse, and recycle has been a mantra of the environmental movement for many years. It’s also really good advice for anyone serious about uncluttering.

5 Considerations for Bringing a Car to College
BY JANE HURST
It’s time to head back to college. The question is, should you or shouldn’t you bring your car with you? It can be a really handy thing to have a vehicle with you while you are in college. At the same time, it can be a complete pain in the you-know-what as well. A teen who has

Grad School Does’t Last Forever
(even if it feels like it will)
Grad school started out really well for me.

The Savers Tax Credit Explained
by Roderick Kelly
A little known tax credit can help you save for retirement, even if you feel you don’t have the money to do so.
The formal name is the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit. Most people, however, know it simply as the Saver’s Credit, a two-timing savings strategy that reduces taxes and increases retirement.
By the numbers, here is how the Saver’s Credit works: Let’s say you pay yourself $2,000 in a qualified retirement plan, such as an IRA or 401(k). If your adjusted gross income is within a certain range (see chart below), the IRS allows you to receive a t...
Alphabetizing Books Quickly: QuickSort, Insertion Sort, and Bubble Sort
Sometimes, the video that would’ve been helpful for you arrives right after you’ve completed a task. Over the past few months, I’ve been gradually relocating my books from my basement at home to my office at work, thus symbolically completing a move that’s now 3+ years old. Once I got them all to work, they were piled on my shelves, and so I needed to quickly sort them.
Shortly after finally getting them all organized, I discovered that Chand John and Anton Trofimov have a video (via Open Culture) explaining the fastest way to alphabetize your books:
