Book Reviews of Lifehacker: 88 Tech Tricks to Turbocharge Your Day
Book Review: If You Read or Type on a Computer, You Need this Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Lifehacker is an amazing collection of technology and productivity tips that will turbo-charge your life. There are many system tools to help automate repetitive tasks, streamline work-flow, and manage life in today's technological age.
This book is a MUST read for anyone who does anything related to computers or technology. If you read or type on a computer, you qualify for NEEDING this book.
I was a technology nub before this book. In fact, technology was my weakest point, and I even feared it in some ways. Now, I did my entire online marketing, Web 2.0 process on my own, with websites, e-commerce, auto-responders, etc.
You cannot succeed in the technology age without knowing how to use basic technology!
My three favorite time-savers are:
AutoHotkey: Automatically type entire sentences and paragraphs with one touch. It is SO gratifying to write a 1 page custom email in 15 seconds, and to get heart-felt thank you message from your reader (who might also have typed that "custom" email in 15 seconds, haha)
Automatically Back Up Your File: I must have lost over $100,000 worth of information I worked on before I read this book. Now, I never have to worry about losing any data again.
Control Your Email: I used to write 200-300 emails, a DAY, due to the massive amount of networks and businesses I had going on. I would spend 4 hours a day just typing emails. Now, I only check emails 3 hours a week at most, from Tuesday-Thursday. I produce more results, but have much less work.
