Enjoy Life More - Get Hacking!

Life Hacking: “an appropriate application of ingenuity” (according to Jargon File)
Start by reading Dumb Little Man, who is not any of those things (except the man part), then head over to lifehack.org. If you really want to know more, check out 43 Folders. The Web Worker Daily is also a good one, especially if you spent copious amounts of time on the web.
You know those people that work over 45 hours a week, volunteer on the weekends and still have time for friends and family? Yeah, we all do. I am not one of these people and I’m not going to pretend to be. One of 302designs’ philosophies is “Trust in the Power of the Self”. Of course, the power of the self can often get left by the wayside when the dishwasher breaks, you lose your cell phone and forget that you have that big presentation on Monday. It’s too easy to lose yourself in everyday life.
Life hacking and productivity blogs may sounds slightly boring to some and designed for type-A personalities but it can be a source of interesting information for anyone. It’s not just about being organised. It’s about realizing that a huge percentage of our time is spent doing things that we don’t want to do or that we are doing badly. So stop wasting time and try some life hacks.
