The book will pay for itself

I've read the entire book and implemented quite a few of the Hacks in my daily routine. Based on the amount of time I've already saved in just a few weeks, this book has easily paid for itself 2 or 3 times.

Some of the specific Hacks that I'm using and their results:

* Email Control - My Inbox is empty and I've finally got my email under control with filters and the 3-folders system created (I added a 4th folder - Print - for emails that I want a hard copy of but my laptop isn't connected to my printer)

* Digital Photos - I've got all my photos tagged and organized for fast searches

* Repetitive Typing - how did I ever get along without Texter???

* Google Calendar - I love using my mobile phone to update my calendar when I'm on the road or need to post a quick reminder that Calendar will email and text me.

I've still got a few things from the book on my To-Do List:

* Get my bookmarks moved over to del.icio.us as described in the book
* Setup my automated data backup to my external hard drive (I do it manually right now)

Gina's written a great book that really works. The book is platform independent and she tells you when something is Mac or Windows specific. She also lets you know the skill level (Easy, Medium, Advanced) that a Hack will require.

I enjoyed reading it and will probably go through it again soon to make sure I've implemented any hacks that can make my life easier - I'm sure I missed a few.

Making your life simple and portable

This is a great book. The hacks described in this book can simplify anyone's work (and personal) life. If you are too hard-pressed to implement even the simple suggestions of the productivity guru David Allen, Gina Trapani makes them even simpler. I randomly implemented some suggestions from the first edition of the book with very satisfying results. I believe that this edition is a major upgrade and I hope to get a lot more out of it. (I haven't finished reading it yet -- but what I have read and implemented so far is impressive enough.)If you are not a full-time geek, it is hard to figure out all the shortcuts to streamline your work and make it as "online" as possible. This book not only describes many hacks but provides step-by-step instructions to implement them. This is one of the best practical books on streamlining your life. I'm glad Gina Trapani wrote it. (I guess that anyone whose last name ends in "rapani" has to have something going for them.)

updated version of a great book

LifeHacker and Gina Trapani Are great for productivity, and have tons of good advice. I would recommend it to multi taskers and busy professionals, or anyone looking to save time and be more efficient, or just to have a few neat tricks to show your friends.

Simplify your tech life!

I absolutely love this book. I picked it up on recommendation at the BlogHer Business Conference 2008 and so appreciate Gina's simplicity tips that are easy to understand and execute. With all the virtual clutter that we have in our lives at the moment, it's a necessity to have a sage like Gina to help us figure out how to manage it all.
