comment How to cancel out caffeine's effects on sleep?
Beware: alcohol interferes with the normal sleep process. It might help you nod off, but can negatively effect the quality of your sleep.

+1: But don't write your address on anything attached to your key chain... sadly there are bad people out there, too.

No idea why this was down-voted. Perhaps it seems too simple? Nevertheless, I've taught myself to do this too, and it works remarkably well for me.

Are you interested in any particular type of thinking? In my experience, creative thinking is very different from problem solving.

comment A software to organize the information as a set of nested tables
What would be the benefit of organising data like this? What kind of data do you want to store? Perhaps we can come up with an alternative for you based on a better understanding of your specific requirements.

comment What does Inbox Zero really mean?
@Gruber: That would depend entirely on your needs. In general, I would advocate deleting emails unless there is a genuine need to archive them. If you do have that need, however, an "archive" folder has its place.

Actually, it may well be that you're burnt out. If that's the case, get some rest before you become ill. If you don't, you'll be no use to anyone.

comment How to organise the mental and physical chaos in my life?
You're not an idiot. However, your hope that your personal projects are the 'road to freedom' is unfounded if you can't complete any of them. You'll never complete even one unless you have time. So, you're going to have to cut back - either to fewer projects or to smaller projects - if you have any chance of success.

comment How can I improve my handwriting?
Perhaps I am a list cause? I really don't write much down. I email a lot, for example, and always type letters, even to friends. On job applications I fill in the basics on the form and then reference longer answers typed on a separate sheet (employers don't seem to mind). When I do have to write, I tend to print in capitals. At least people grasp my meaning.

I've tried a fountain pen, but that just added blotches and smudges.
