Find out if you’re close to burnout
|
|
IT Burnout Index
is a 10-question survey that will tell you how close you are to
burnout, and what your risk level is for Exhaustion, Self Inefficacy,
Cynicism and Depersonalization. It only takes 2 minutes to get the
results and you can then choose to check out Yerbo’s personalized
insights and exercises. It’s anonymous, and doesn’t require an email. —

Cheap healthy recipes
|
|
Budge Bytes
is a recipe website of delicious meals that cost very little to make,
other than your time. The recipes use fresh ingredients and are
accompanied by tantalizing photos. Try the Comeback Sauce for roasted vegetables. — MF

Easy plant replication
|
|
Most
plants can be propagated by pinching off a bit and setting the piece in
soil to grow into a whole new plant. You can increase the likelihood of
success by dusting the pinched piece with plant hormone to speed root
growth, such as Bontone II Rooting Powder. We have generally propagated our entire garden by pinching. We can increase success even more using the Hormex set of 3 different strengths of the hormone based on how woody the plant is. — KK

Silicone earplugs
|
|
Mack’s moldable silicone earplugs
are superior to squishy foam earplugs because they completely seal the
opening to your ear. They do a fantastic job of blocking out sound.
These silly-putty-like plugs have saved my sleep many times when staying
in noisy hotels and Airbnbs. — MF

Get oldest Google search results first
|
|
Oldestsearch.com
reverse-orders all Google search results so that you see the oldest
webpages first. This is refreshing to use, because I so often feel like
all the top results are repetitive. — CD

Cool Tools Show and Tell
|
|
Every
week for 6 years we’ve recorded a podcast featuring the cool tools of a
remarkable person. Earlier this year we paused the podcast, but we have
now relaunched it as a video-cast in the same format. Every Friday I
interview a remarkable person and ask them on screen to show and tell 4
of their favorite tools. This program, called the Cool Tools Show and
Tell, streams on our YouTube channel. And the audio channel of each session will resume streaming on the old Cool Tools Podcast subscription
for those who only want to listen. I really look forward to each
session because I am always surprised by what interesting cool tools
people will recommend. — KK
