We’ve all done it — sign up for newsletter after newsletter because we were promised a coupon code or some kind of discount. We got the discount, got the product or service and never canceled our subscription. No matter how many times you delete that newsletter without even looking — you are just too lazy to unsubscribe. I get it — I’ve done it on the regular!

But now I found an amazing app that will unsubscribe for you! All you have to do is go to Unroll.me* and it will go through your email account and locate each and every newsletter you’re signed up to receive. Some you won’t even remember! I figured i might have 50 or 60. I had close to 300! EEEK!

Unroll.me lets you do two things. 1. You can “roll up” your subscriptions so they arrive in a single email instead of separate ones. 2. You can unsubscribe all together with one click. I opted to unsubscribe from 159 newsletters. Wow! Think of all the time I’ll save. Read more

I spend my days trying to come up with interesting content for this blog and find list makers in unsuspecting places.

While watching TV one day it occurred to me that some of our favorite characters must be list-makers too! I’ve talked about celebs like Madonna and John Lennon making lists but what about some of the people we invite into our homes every day?

I wonder what’s on the to-do lists of my top 5 “probable” list makers:

1. Ned Flanders (The Simpsons)

Ask Homer if he is done with my lawn mower
Come up with a more efficient way to iron
Sign up for church bake-sale

2. Claire Dunphy (Modern Family)

Call a professional to fix “the step”
Figure out the perfect anniversary present for Phil
Bail Hailey out of jail

3. Bert (Sesame Street)

Count the bottle caps in my collection
Feed Bernice (his pet pigeon)
Meet Ernie at Hoopers Store

4. Monica Geller (Friends)

Clean the vacuum with the dust buster
Learn the rules of football so you can beat Ross in the “Geller Cup”
Go out to the stores and get mayonnaise (NOT light mayo)

5. Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)

Buy more hand sanitizer
Engineer perfect Spock costume for Halloween 2014
Prove to Penny and Leonard that I have perfect pitch

What characters do you think are natural-born list makers?

I basically tell anyone who will listen to me about how amazing Evernote is. It’s an app and website that keeps track of nearly anything you want it to. A friend who is also obsessed with it once called it an “extension of her mind.” I think that’s pretty accurate. Anything you want to keep track of but might forget — should go into Evernote.

Here’s how I’m using it: Read more
