This is the first post in my new Life Hacks series. It is an outgrowth of my lifelong fascination with personal, relationship, and most recently, social media improvement combined with my enjoyment of online reading and content curation. For more life hacks, check out my Twitter feed!
What life hacks do you use on a regular basis? What are your favorite online reading sites? Please share, thank you :D.

I’m not really a life-hack person. I dislike the way social media is always telling us we’re scrambling eggs wrong or whatever, lol! I hate slideshows and I hate pop-up ads. I do like those posts about how to make useful things into alternative useful things, like using a clothespin to hold up your cake recipe, that sorta thing, but only as I catch them. I don’t go looking for them.
Nothing but insomnia can make me a morning person 😉

Ha! There can be a fine line between a hack being helpful and a hack being ridiculous! And, strangely, I sometimes even like the most obscure hacks, like wrinkle releaser. There is a thing called wrinkle releaser for anti-ironing slackers like myself! Hopefully my enjoyment of sifting through a lot of online noise will turn up a gem or two like the clothespin and recipe card gig. Nice!

My wife is out of town this weekend so I’m going to be spending some much needed couple time with my PS4. She’s been feeling a little neglected lately. Zombies will be smashed, aliens will be vaporized, and wizards will make magic. And I should clean the place a little too. But I will make time to read.

Glad you like the monuments post, Scott. Next time you have your handsome men at a monument, have your camera ready! What’s great about your smartass comment is that it isn’t only funny, it’s true. An awesome reminder to not take this online life, or life in general, so seriously that you miss the fun of it 😀

I have no idea what a life hack is, Angie McFly. A lot of short snippets curated like this post here today?

Perhaps I know the term “life hack” because I live with teens or because I’ve always been a fan of getting things done! Either way, it’s definition is found in an urban dictionary and is the opening line to this post: a trick, shortcut, skill, or novel approach to increase your productivity and efficiency in all walks of life. 💪

What I need right now is the time and kick in the ….to get back to my writing on a regular basis. I feel like a chunk of who I really am is missing when I’m not working on a book. 😦 Hopefully the mojo and more time will present itself in the next couple of weeks as other commitments ease up a bit.
Glad to meet you Angie and I’m following your blog now too! 🙂
