5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Guide to Taking Control of Your Life 21 Feb 2012
By Andrew Dalby TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lifehacker is about taking control of your life and especially your data. I have to cope with the daily data overload of having 4 e-mail accounts, a dozen blogs, my Amazon reviews, my work, my family and everything else that life throws at you. Lifehacker has simple mostly cost free advice about how to get back in control. Many of the techniques I was already using or knew I should be using but there are so many tips it is impossible that anyone will know them all, or if you do I still bet you are not using them.

This book is well worth getting - you get a lot of pages for your money and good advice rarely comes this cheap.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book for everyone who wants to regain control 18 Jan 2012
By Mr. I. Dunsford
Format:Kindle Edition
I've been reading Lifehacker or a couple of years now. I find it useful to help me be more productive. This collection of hacks is grouped into different categories, including mastering your inbox, being productive with your smartphone, and staying focused. It is an excellent resource.

What I don't understand is why the introduction is at the end of the book. I didn't realise, and read it at the end.
