I heard about "Lifehacker" some time ago and finally subscribed recently. There are many good thoughts, such as this one.
On becoming your "true person". In the latest episode of his excellent video podcast The Merlin Show, our buddy in life hacking Merlin Mann tackles mental blocks and resistance to productivity:
Resistance can be thought of as anything that pulls us away from doing the work we know is most important to us. It takes many forms (including procrastination, fear, distraction, and negative self-talk), but the effect is often similar: we find or permit all kinds of barriers to keep us from becoming the person we want to be, or from completing the thing we really want to make. Whether that's being a published author, a composer, a playwright, or a painter, our impulse to create constantly battles an impulse to do something else, or to do nothing -- to not upset our weirdly comfy stasis.
Ah yes, the quicksand of that weirdly comfy stasis. I know this place. How do you battle the mental blocks that keep you from greatness? Indulge in self-reflection in the comments. [~] Gina Trapani
