“Hooked on hacking life”

“Hooked on hacking life”

Seth Godin’s latest post wasn’t quite what I was expecting from the title.

Here’s a snippet:

Striving to get smarter, better and faster helps us create our future. The risk is that merely collecting, trading and discussing the tools turns into the point.

It’s possible that your next frontier isn’t to get more efficient, it’s to get more brave.

(See? It has absolutely nothing to do with compromised computers at Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and Twitter.)

My 2012 was pretty overrated, so I’m currently doing more “life-hacking” than usual – ditching some of the things I don’t have time to do, removing friction wherever possible, trying to have more fun, etc. It’s all part of trying to make 2013 a better year.

But, as always, I’m finding it easy to focus on the minutiae of optimising myself rather than on Actually Getting Things Done.

Thanks for the timely post, Seth.

To bravery! #drink
