the book! the book!
I can has the book? I've wanted it for a while.
And now I has the book!
Yay, I gots the book!
I'm a big fan of LifeHacker. As if it were a guilty pleasure, I don't talk about it much. There are lots and lots of lifehacker entries left unread in my news reader (RSS reader). But I'm always on the lookout for any tip or trick that will help me be better organized, more productive, anything that might help me actually do things better and work smarter. I talked about this a while ago with respect to the Getting Things Done thing. That was useful, but it wasn't all I needed.
I have found some pretty useful stuff on lifehacker. I can't recall what, right now, but I have.
And now I have the LifeHacker book! squeeeeeeee
I can tote this thing with me wherever I go, and I am not tied to a computer to use it. I've only read the first chapter, but already there are useful things I've found, such as the hint to start a personal wiki so as to offload the tons of crap that's clogging my brain. I have already started doing that with hastily scrawled scraps of paper (which accumulate), torn-out pages from magazines (ditto), link lists, and so on -- I've even gone so far as to collect lots of the stuff in one notebook, but that book is not easily-searchable or reviewable. It is in my own handwriting, after all.
Man, I'm excited about this. This plus the desire I conceived a week or so ago -- I want to have a real workspace -- have really got me going. I've already started cleaning up, purging old and unneeded stuff, generally making it happen.
And guess what else? It makes me feel good to do this. Now, if only my personal life were as easily whipped into shape ...
