Lifehack is your source for tips to help improve all aspects of your life. We are widely recognized as one of the premier productivity and lifestyle blogs on the web. This site is dedicated to lifehacks, which is a phrase that describes any advice, resource, tip or trick that will help you get things done more efficiently and effectively.
Who doesn’t love a website that that gives you resources, tips, and tricks for doing things more efficiently?
 
I discovered three helpful lists that can be applied to your own writing (and reading) career.  Check out the links to read the full article about each list.
