Chairs

Lifehackers,
I am looking to improve my lifestyle by means of a new office chair. Does anyone have suggestions? My current chair is causing my spine to bend at a terrible angle - correcting, or at least avoiding, this problem is my main goal.

Be Productive Like Seinfeld

This is old for any of you who read lifehacker, but I'll post it anyway since we're on the topic of writing more.
Jerry Seinfeld's advice.

PS: I have talked about this with many of you in person, but Getting Things Done by David Allen has completely changed my life. I recommend it to any of you who feel overwhelmed by your ambitions/responsibilities.

Writing More

Do you guys have any tricks to get yourselves to write more? My main problems are 1) laziness, and 2) on the same computer I use to write lives a computer game I have been addicted to for 2 years.

Maybe somebody less lazy than me should organize a writing club?

20 Great Tools to Keep Your Life Organized

Here is a feature from Zen Habits that might interest people. Some of these web applications like "Backpack" and "Tiddlywiki" sound interesting. Can someone (Jack? Cane?) tell me which ones I should be using? I'm too busy to do this for myself.

Walking Slower

I don't want to take this next MLI too far. But I want to try to remember to walk a little slower. I think that will communicate calmness, confidence, and coolness and hopefully I will feel those things as I communicate them. Walking fast tends to communicate nervousness and lack of power and happiness. Walking too slow is really cocky, so I am just going to try to walk somewhat slower. If you see me out, please remind me and/or check in on my progress.

Saying No = Sometimes Being The Downer

After a week of taking great care not to promise anything too substantial, I've found myself in the situation of being a bit of a downer. If I don't think I can afford something, for instance, I've typically said, "Maybe later." Last week I started saying, "No, I can't afford this right now," and I met with considerable grief. I'm hoping this translates to less grief in the future, but it still really sucks at the moment.
