#62My shirt rack has three "zones". Clean clothes go in zone 1. When I take out a shirt, I put a special color hanger in its place. At night I hang up my shirt in the next zone, or chuck it in the hamper as appropriate. My memory for little stuff sucks, so this makes it easy to wear each one three times.
or wear a clean shirt every day. Just sayin.

#63As someone who use git quite a lot, I have created a TON of aliases for it, so that I have to type very less. Sometimes, I have created bash functions as it needs to handle some logic too. For example: gl (git log), gb (git branch), gr (git remote -v), gpom (git push origin master), gpuom (git pull origin master), gcam (git commit -a -m), gcaa (git commit --amend -a), gc / (git checkout -b https://github.com/$1 ), et…

Not washing clothes until they need to be washed is probably environmentally beneficial - saving all that water and energy.

#65My credit card details are saved in my Gmail account because when I want to buy something online my wallet is usually in another room I feel the risk is low, I trust google enough and there's really no risk as a cardholder anyway

#66Sounds obvious, but I never realized how useful it is.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
I really want to like LastPass, but I can't get over all of my passwords being stored on someone elses server. Doesn't that seem like a terrible security risk?

#70I am terrible at remembering things, so for parts of my daily routine, I will just remember the number of things I need to grab/do, rather than the things themselves. For example, there are 9 things I need to put in my gym bag when I pack it before going to the gym/work.
