Catherina Fake
==============

I like pencil and paper, probably more than most people in tech. I use a Field Notes 80 page steno notebook for taking notes, and a Clairefontaine 4.5"x6.5" notebook for my to-do list. I like to number each thing I accomplish, and when I get to the end of the notebook, the number of things I have done is close to 5,000. This is very analogue, but there's a really excellent pencil sharpener Lifehacker readers should know about: the Automatic Long Point, 2 phase KUM sharpener, made in Germany.

Wisdom is pretty plain and unimpressive. Be nice. Floss regularly. Do your best. Don't let the grass grow on the path to your friend's house. Wisdom is always simple, but not easy.

1. Behaviors of Web Users

We don’t READ, we SCAN.
We love to muddle through to figure things out.
We don’t make optimal choices, we love to guess and there’s no penalty when we guessed wrong.
2. Design Pages like Billboards

Pages should be designed for scanning, not reading.
