i find that having this three-tiered system allows me to not think about bookmarking systems or privacy- my criteria for what goes where is pretty clear and i don’t have much overlap. also delicious allows me to add explanatory text or a quote, which is often useful.

I find that sudsing the whole body and then rinsing is the quickest way to shower, but I am still trying to figure out whether there is any way to improve upon this system, and also what the best system for toweling off (esp. in winter) is.
