I think I must be a Lifehacker. In her original book Lifehacker: 88 Tech Tricks to Turbocharge Your Day Gina Trapani says that Lifehackers have the following qualities:

  • They are optimists - where there’s a will there’s a way.
  • They expect to be able to find their data from any Internet-connected device.
  • They would rather spend 2 hours and 59 minutes automating a 3 hour task than doing it manually.
  • They get lost in their work and forget it’s lunchtime.
  • Lifehackers live and work on their computers

Me Ok, I fit all the above, so I must be one. I spent the first half of my life without a computer. There were no computers at school. I didn’t get one until I was in my mid-twenties. I didn’t have a cellphone until I was in my thirties. Having said that, I’ve had a PC for over 20 years now, and a cellphone for 16, so they’re certainly entrenched in my way of life. What would we do without them, I find myself saying, but I did. When it comes to most of the latest technology though, I don’t want to turn the clock back!

You might like to check out Gina’s latest book at the link below too. I’ve really found Lifehacker to be a great time-saving read, and I’ve implemented a number of her recommendations. There’s stuff for Windows, Mac and Linux users in there.
