-------------------------------------------------

RAM Optimizer for Win7

Tech-savvy folk are divided over how useful memory cleaning tools can be because Windows (Vista upwards at least) manage memory reasonably well. Most memory cleaning tools are not very useful because many of them use ill-advised techniques that are only relevant to older versions of Windows (pre-Vista).

MemoryCleaner is considerably better because it uses functions built into Windows to judiciously free memory - with no performance impact whatsoever. You can now access Memory Cleaner functions from the tray icon without having to open up the main window. The cleaning prodecures are both silent and the only alert you will see is the amount of RAM recovered briefly displayed in the window.

If you find your RAM usage exceeding 60% regularly, then MemoryCleaner is an absolute must have.


Feature List

1. Trims processes' working set.
2. Clears system cache.
3. Monitors RAM usage and reports minimum, maximum and average (true average, not (min+max)/2).
4. Reports Pagefile and virtual memory usage.

The 6 Habits To Be More Creative and Efficient

Living as a Designer in the generation where patience and long term visions are almost forgot is like being like a machine or a modern enslave... The deadlines expected by the clients are always impossible and the results expected are unimaginable.. So to stand out as the best among the free lancers you have to be EXTRA CREATIVE and have the TALENT to bring stunning results in very short span of time..

To be one such needs a lot of time to practice and gain experience.. But to start of follow these 6 simple steps :) Just remember them when starting your projects..

1. Organize your schedule very clearly

A good planning isn’t an easy task and anyone must pay full attention to it: a heavy schedule with no breaks isn’t possible to be respected and it is frustrating. A light schedule with few tasks to accomplish is another form of laziness and it is a constant laying to you. Many of us have big problems with the working time, some are feeling that waking up in the morning is better; others prefer the quietness of the night. Clearly, you should work when you are feeling well and happy, else all is turning into an uncomfortable lose of time. Don’t forget, what you plan is what you do!

2. Focus on a single major task, but assure yourself a variety of tasks

No one is Napoleon to be able to do multiple tasks simultaneously, but also no one can work for hours on a row on a single project without being bored of it. To produce masterpieces it’s obvious that a lot of effort and time is needed but inspiration is a matter of hours so only small tasks can be well done without any pause. The best recipe consists in altering the tasks in such a way to avoid boredom, the greatest enemy of creativity (very personal opinion).

One of these tasks should have the highest priority and all the efforts should be pushed to realize it.

3. Work as a professional no matter for what kind of Designs

Please don’t think that your clients are your superiors or the ones who pays your bills, they are only some people who need your services and it is quite normal that they should pay you. Keep in mind, your creativity needs some limitations to be optimal, but the pressure is a real disaster.

Any compromise is a back stain on your evolution so never give up being a pro. The middle way is always the best solution and here is no exception: don’t disturb your positive attitude (a very necessary condition of being efficient) being rude with your customers, it is perfect to have the diplomacy to make them understand that their requirements are in your head but they can’t interfere in your process of creation. Point!

4. Take care of your workroom!

Any freelancer is spending regularly many hours in front of his PCs, usually in a small private office or even in the house in an improvised work room, anyway the location isn’t playing a big role in the equation of improving the productivity. Living more than half of a day in this space multiplied with the number of the working days along a year will give you an idea about how important is this. A normal and very human reaction is simply to become tired of this medium and in consequences the creativity and efficiency is on a low level.

The remedy against this annoying fact is to make your room more enjoyable. I could say, from my experience, that it is really amazing, any small and pleasant modification has a positive effect on your workflow. A change of furniture is a good example, but very few of us can allow doing it often, but there are many other minor modifications which can have magical powers: the theme of your OS, the desktop wallpaper or the overall design of your workroom.

5. Pushing yourself to the limits isn’t equivalent with better results!

Pushing yourself to the limit every day, believing that you will work much more is false. The human being has its specific features and one of them is the fact that the effective power gets to a maximum limited to few hours per day and to reach again this peak is needed recreations and sleep. It’s true that the coffee is a”tool” for any freelancer but all these undoubtedly can’t replace the anatomical requirements.

Anyone should understand that any advance should be done with small steps and with a lot of patience; working today 2 hours and tomorrow 15 isn’t by far a good solution. No matter of the field of activity, but think of you as a marathon runner; nobody starts running 42 km from the first experience but with intelligent methods of trainings, in addition to a steel will, everything will became possible.

6. Everything is in vain if you neglect your family and friends

Being a workaholic isn’t a quality, personally I believe it is a disease and it needs a remedy because this kind of behavior shouldn’t be tolerated. Everything can be bought these days besides family and real friends!
