Do you want checklists in your posts?
It is easy to do. There is a plugin called “Checklists in Posts” and it works great. Here is how it works. First you have to have a bulleted list of items like below. Then at the editor window you click on Add Checklist in Post and it formats It. Done! Easy right? Why would you use this? Let’s say that you have to plan something and you want to share it with others. By doing this, they can checkmark the list and then print the page.

One of the plugins I used in the past was created by a developer who spoke UK english.

I did it! I achieved email inbox zero! I have read many time management people who said this would make my life easier. How did I do this? I have had to spend several Saturdays and Sundays working for hours deleting, organizing and unsubscribing from things. In the past I was always busy working on projects in school and work, and now I had a little time to catch up. So again a few days ago I spent time cleaning up and putting things into folders. I didn’t realize how much information I had from college. One of my university accounts had 10GB of emails. Can you believe it? Once…
