There is a button on the top right of your screen that says "log out". Clicking on it will dramatically increase your productivity.
No kidding...why would anyone use payday advances? If you're that short on cash, it's better to put everything on a rewards card and pay it off when the paycheck arrives.

Hello? the people who are getting payday advances do not have a CC, let alone one with
a rewards program..
Almost anyone can get a CC.
The reason they use payday advances is because they're broke, the reason they're broke is because they use payday advances. If you want to break the cycle, easy: Stretch those dollars just a little bit more next time. Payday advances are for suckers. Desperate suckers, but still suckers.
And believe me, I'm not just some rich kid who doesn't know anything about living hand-to-mouth. I'm just better at it. The fees they charge at payday advance places can buy a LOT of Ramen noodles...
random trick: if you want your cookies to come out looking uniform, even, and perfectly round, bake them in texas muffin cups.
If your credit is shot the only card you can get is a high interest one with a small
limit and you usually have to pony up a $300 fee just for that. Sadly a lot of folks
live one paycheck away from cannibalism..
"Using payday advances is a terrible way of dealing with that. "
Agreed ,as it doesn't solve anything, your just spending next week's check before
you've earned it and the cycle continues..

Java Programming: There's a bug in some of the cheapo integrated ATI card drivers that will cause any swing-based GUIs to appear as a blank gray window 50% of the time. This perplexed me, my cubicle mate, my manager, and apparently some other guys whom my manager asked, for 3 days until I was 40 pages deep in google and found the bug report(s).
Air Purifiers: If possible, seal the edges of the filters with tape. Any kind of tape will work (although some are obviously better than others). This prevents the .x % of crap that gets around the filters from building up inside the purifier and smelling like shit. Also, you won't have to open it up and clean it. Ever. Took me hours and a voided warranty to take mine apart.
Snow and Ice: When walking along a sidewalk that has been "cleared" but is still icy, walk in the snow next to it (assuming the snow is shallow enough). It's easier to spot the ice, and said ice is most likely "crunchable" (will collapse under weight into the snow layer below it). If not, you can at least avoid it.
Procrastination: The "I'm tired" excuse is bullshit. Man up and do your fucking work/exercise/whatever. If you're awake enough to play PC games/post on AT/go on facebook/do anything remotely involving your brain, you're awake enough to do work. In the case of exercise, you'll probably be wider awake afterwards anyway.
Laundry: Use a small travel steamer/iron combo similar to this
as opposed to an Iron. The steamer will get wrinkles out of most shirts, saved my ass during college several times (my tux shirt was wrinkled). It can turn into an iron for more heavy duty fabrics. Still, steaming is WAY faster than ironing, not to mention you don't need the board.
Cable Management: It's only a rat's nest if everyone can see it. Put the extra mile in, make it clean and sleek, with a little creativity if you can. In dorms, this will actually make you more attractive to females. A clean guy with aesthetics and sense of style is set above the other guys who leave their dirty underwear on the floor. Helped me out freshman year.
Improve your Trash Capacity: Get off your lazy ass and put the recyclable shit into the recycling bin. It frees up more space in the trash can, so you don't have to take out the trash as often.

Putting a bit of TP on the water in the toilet bowl will keep you form getting splashed while going #2, this is great when in a public restroom.
Yup, my life is meaningful.

I like the serious responses in this thread. Share your wisdom, ATOT!
If you want to avoid checking a certain website for a while, it helps me to delete the bookmark. Hopefully like me, you will be too lazy to type it in to check it just because you're bored.

You don't know when a conversation with someone will contain the last words you will ever say to them. Make it something you won't regret.
If you want to open multiple accounts requiring your bank account, here's the solution.
You have to find another routing number to use with your bank account. A quick google search will turn in lists, as banks have many routing numbers for mergers, geographic locations.
My Premier and Personal paypal withdraw and deposit to/from the same bank account!

If you want to make a right turn at a spot where your road makes a T with another road and there is a car in front of you trying to turn left, don't pull up even with it when trying to turn. Stay behind and to the right of the car so you can see the traffic in both directions. Of course, if you have a big car and can see over the other car, this won't help you, but it will help the dude who's in front of you, so it's still worth doing.
Always put your car keys, wallet, phone, etc in the same spot when you come home.
Before locking and closing your house or car door, feel your keys in your pocket. Do this every time and soon you won't have to think about it. Huge trouble saver.
If I have to make a long reply on the web, I usually do my composing in Notepad and paste it over. Not Wordpad- the text formatting can sometimes mess things up.
Microwave dirty inside? Nuke a wet sponge or rag to create steam. Let it soak the mess.
Keep some regular and some decaf coffee so you can adjust the caffeine level each time you make it.
Keep the local non-emergency police and all-night emergency vet clinic numbers stored in your cell phone.
Got a cold hamburger in your fridge? Nuke the patty alone first, then put it back together and heat the whole thing.
If your toilet is clogged and about to overflow, take off the tank lid, push the flapper down, and pull the float up. Careful, the lid is heavy and slippery. Plunge with care, too.
If you don't have a programmable thermostat, get in the habit of adjusting the temperature of your house when you go to work and to bed. The savings are worth it.
Buy a case of cheap bottled water, then take only one bottle per day, refilling it at the tap. You don't have to wash glasses, but you spend less and create less waste.
Dry skin? Sample size bottles (like shampoo) usually make good portable lotion bottles. Pick one that you can refill from the pump of your large bottle of lotion at home.
Get a plastic cage to wash your baseball caps in without getting them bent out of shape. They're like $3 at Wal-Mart in the laundry aisle.
If footing is treacherous, remember that falling forward is usually much better than falling backward. Be prepared to resist the urge to fall on your outstretched hand.
When walking with a knife, hold it point downward and fairly loose and low in your hand. Then if there's a bump the knife will fall a short distance instead of stabbing someone.
When running the bases, hold your batting gloves in your closed hands to reduce odds of finger injury from sliding or collisions.
If you must rinse your soft contact lens and you have no solution, you can use tap water. It will burn for a few minutes but will not harm anything. At least, not with any lenses I've heard of. In an emergency, you can even store your lenses in tap water for one night, or at least you could with lenses I used years ago. I won't promise there aren't some new funky lenses that are damaged by water. Use this info at your own risk.
Keep some cheap harsh nasty toilet paper around. You won't want to use it, so it's good to have as backup. This trick works with other things too, like soap.
Don't eat glass.
You can have more than one home page. Make one of them The Hunger Site, so you remember to click there and at its sister sites every day. Fast and easy way to help people.
Buy a multimeter and learn how to use it, especially for diagnosing car battery / alternator problems and for making sure the power is off to an outlet you're working on.
When discharging static, don't just slowly move your finger toward the metal until you get shocked. Tap it quickly and the shock won't hurt.
If you have a nasty injury like road rash, carefully shaving around it can reduce the risk of infection and greatly reduce the pain from changing the dressing.
When using a water fountain, use the knuckles of your closed hand to push the button (preferably your left hand).
To remove packing tape from a cardboard box, push the sidewall inward at the top so that you can slip your finger under the tape.

QFT. It also helps if you are a little OCD
My wife on the other hand - There have been many times where I come home and find her keys in the door.
Ironically enough, she subconsciously has a limited number of places where she puts her keys (about 10 places), but she cannot remember most of them. I, on the other hand, not only know them, I know in what order she prefers them.
Like I said, it helps to be a little OCD.

probably because people that use payday loans have no credit or bad credit, and either don't have a credit card, or have a secured card with 28% interest.
This is something that I think about all the time. Losing someone makes it much more real. Take his advice.
Bad breath? Brush your tongue, the roof of your mouth, and gums gently. You should see improvements after about one week.
Brush your teeth AFTER you eat. There's no point to getting up, brushing, then eating sugary cereal or a doughnut. Instead of brushing, rinse with mouthwash or a baking soda solution in the morning.

$3 buys you a pretty big swath of AC filter screen. Much cheaper than having to replace a burnt CPU/GPU due to a dust-clogged fan.
