Pinoy streamline your world!
- WRITING CHECKS - Switch to online bill paying and you’ll save a half hour a month. (We timed it.) Likewise, mortgage payments and savings deposits should be completely automated.
- USING ONE E-MAIL ADDRESS - Your broadband deal - you’re not wasting your life waiting for dial-up, are you? - includes a bunch of in-boxes. Use one e-mail for friends and family, a second for shopping and spam.
- USING FOUR E-MAIL ADDRESSES - See #2. Unless you’re buying broadband from Yahoo, Google, or MSN, forget ‘em.
- JOINING - You have your office badminton. Basketball at your village. The fantasy-basketball league. Poker night. Give up two, because your leisure time is killing you.
- WATCHING NETWORK NEWS - It’s crap - overwrought, oversold, overbiased crap. Fifteen minutes on the internet, boom, you’re informed.
- ONE UPPING - So you were the first in your circle to score Hot Hot Heat’s new CD. Maybe your friends just have better taste.
- JUGGLING THREE WOMEN - Let two down gently and hold the third up for everyone to see.
- OVERPROMISING - No one believes you anyway.
- OVERPACKING - Have you ever needed the extra shoes?
- OVERWORKING - The more you do, the more they’ll give you.
- OVERNEGOTIATING - You spend the day nibbling the guy down to a hundred over invoice. We’re going to read book.
- UNDERVACATIONING - Take a three-day weekend immediately. And don’t overpack.
- OPENING JUNK MAIL - Their willingness to welcome you into the DVD club should not be linked to your self-esteem.
- BLOGGING - Fine, your observations inspire. But your best girl just bought a Plastic Plumber and six D batteries.
