Lifehacker is about Tech tricks, tips and downloads for [b:getting things done|1633|Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity|David Allen|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1158299716s/1633.jpg|5759]. If you use a computer, you're bound to find something helpful in this book. They use the hacker as a term for someone who finds easier ways to do things.

The book works for both the novice and the uber-geek. The book recommends a lot of open-source, shareware, or free downloads that will make your life easier. Or you could just read the hacks on shortcuts on existing applications that you already have. Let the computer do the mundane and repetitive things in your life. Let it be a tool in your life - not a time sink. Let it be a source of inspiration and not mainly frustration.

Though the book does focus mainly on computer/technology. I find the subset on choices on lifestyle much more helpful. How many times have been late because you couldn't find your keys? Maybe you just want to figure out a way to prepare a nutritious lunch for work each day. Or realize years later you still haven't started writing the next great American novel because you kept procrastinating?

This is the book for you!

Now, lifehacker (http://www.lifehacker.com) does have a website which can overwhelm you with tips on saving time/money and I hope you do check it out. The book just whets your appetite. I docked the book a star because I read about most of these hacks already. But you probably haven't. ( )

This book is full of many good computer-related tips! I could see owning of copy of my own to refer back to various chapters. ( )

Great book from a great website. ( )

A life-changing book. Read the other reviews. ( )

Many valuable tips and tricks on making the most of your time & life using technology. I love the passion that Ms. Trapani brings into all her work. Could you get the same info off of the website? Yes, but it could take much time and effort to find it all. And that is what the book is all about ... saving you time! I purchased the Kiddle edition first for my iPod Touch, then bought the paperback edition (guess I'm old school and enjoy the tactile sense of holding a book and underlining in it!). ( )
