Checking out “Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Bettter”
I started looking into this book about the same time i found myself picking out a new paint color for my 1996 Bianchi Volpe by tweaking hexadecimal colors on web-design sites, super-charging my Media Center PC, instituting pleasing rituals for work and play, imaginging a tech career eventhough my working-class background prepared me to me factory-fodder, and discovering 43 folders & hPDA’s, and my first attempt to learn WP in the same glorious rush- which was last month, by the way.
In coming across mentions of Lifehacker on different sites for web design, development, productivity, etc. no one mentioned there was a book. But eventually, i pieced that together and when i got 1) paid and 2) a 40% coupon from Borders’ i bought it. Better late than never. I could have purchased “Getting Things Done” by David Allen but I end up agreeing with many of the critiques of GTD and figured i coudl just pick up the gist on his website and from others. we’ll see- in any case stnad by for a review of “Upgrade Your Life,” my own personal hPDA solution that i am currently using, and some festish-driven bits on Manhattans To-Go In A Custom-Made Flask, pens and Moleskine notebooks.
