A hacker is “Someone who solves a problem in a clever or non-obvious way. A lifehacker uses workarounds and shortcuts to overcome everyday difficulties of the modern worker: an interrupt-driven existence of too much to do and too many distractions to keep you from doing it” (p. xxiii). And that is exactly what she provides in this book–cool ways to use technology to be more effective, efficient, safe, and productive. How could I not love this book?! Some of her ideas are fairly high-tech and others are lower tech. I’d be stunned if you read this and didn’t find at least 10 ideas to put into practice.

I recommend many other great books on my website:  http://www.meggin.com/BooksMain.php.  You’ll find a bunch related to productivity, leadership, and personal growth. 

If you love having books arrive FAST, be sure to sign up for Amazon Prime…free 2-day shipping for one flat rate each year (and you can have 4 family members all using it.  Such a bargain for those of us who want books NOW vs. later!)

If we could all learn one new tip each week, it would increase our productivity…let alone if we learned a few new ones each week.
