As long as you can learn how to suppress or ignore or never have jealousy, multiple relationships seem strictly better (= more fun) to me than monogamy.
Did anyone else accidentally parse (= more fun) as a strange prefix notation way of saying "more relationships = fun?" If not, I apologize in advance for my insanity. ;)
I don't really keep a traditional to-do list anymore. I tried GTD several times over the last 5 years and it's just too cumbersome (and having a huge to-do list is pretty daunting). I keep high-level project to-dos organized in Basecamp, project ideas are organized in soywiki, and any critical reminders are in Google Calendar (with alerts). The real hack that I do though is every morning I take a post-it note and wri…
I've got a lot of mileage out of this Employment Hack: Treat your job as an unimportant thing that's easily replaced, as opposed to your Career that's Important and Fragile and something that you should never ever mess with for worry of ruining your entire life. If you're not sweating your Career, you're more likely to do silly things like take too much vacation, even long sabbaticals. You're more likely to stand up…

Really? What do you do instead of a resume? Just a cover letter?
Oh, you still need a resume but you don't start by delivering it. You start by talking to the person who is doing the hiring. the resume only comes out when they say "I'd like to hire you please send your resume to HR".
Okay, just life hacks, no tech: Figuring out how to skip boring classes and phys ed in high school (mostly) without getting caught. Ah, good times. Bypassing uncooperative assistants on the phone in order to schedule meetings with their superiors (OK, not my proudest moments actually). Faking attractiveness and social intelligence in order to get girls with all kinds of tricks, including infamous wing man maneuvers.…
I want to be this guy's friend.
Brush while in the shower.
Not sure how that saves time, unless you're so coordinated that you can wash your body with one hand while you're brushing your teeth with the other.
Also, it would seem to waste a bit of water.
My trick for remembering names: When I meet someone new, I try and think of someone else I know with the same name (a friend, famous person, etc.), and picture the two standing next to each-other. With unique and foreign names I try and thing of an object or animal that sounds like that name. Sometimes I've had to get a bit more creative, like associating my Nepalese acquaintance Badu with Fred Flinstone (yabba dabba…
If I were to do that, I'd probably end up forever calling the guy Fred instead.
Or maybe I'd remember it wasn't Fred, but it started with a B, so it must be ... Barney.

- Persuasion: Mention an idea in passing then wait a week or two. Mention it again in terms of "you know that idea you had ...". This is a surprisingly effective hack on stubborn managers. If they think they'll get the credit for an idea, then they are much more likely to go along with it. - Drink a glass of water when you first wake up. It will curb the temptation for high carb breakfast foods and reduce coffee inta…
The best life hack advice I ever got was from my first internship. It was at an engineering firm and as I was sneaking out the back stairwell for a cigarette (yes, I was a smoker for a brief period, shame on me) I ran into an engineer and he asked what I was doing, so I made something up and said I was running an errand. I returned his question, "what are you up to?" Engineer: "I'm carrying a clipboard" Me looking co…
