Life Hacking
I am always feeling overwhelmed by choices in life and always looking for work-arounds to increase my personal productivity. I have recently come across two wonderful sites that I especially found useful and entertaining.
Lifehacker.com
What I liked about it:
The site is well organized and well written (it has an editor and two associate editors). There are links to tons of useful downloads. Click on the Life hacks link for non-computer life hacks -- excellent!
Lifehacker.org
What I liked about it:
The site is well organized and well written. As a writer, I especially liked Permission to Suck and 50 Tools Which Can Help You in Writing.
