digital + life hacks
TRANSCRIPT
Digital (+Life) Hacks Lightning Rounds
Content Camp + PodCamp Philly 2015
In the spirit of the day, we’re here to collaborate.
To share some things with each other that
we can all take with us.
Some things you might know already.
Some things you won’t.
But we can all learn a little something from each other.
While I tell you MY ideas + tips,
please brainstorm 1 of your own.
Anything you share will be added to the presentation.
And I’ll post the deck to my blog + tweet it
out today.

So to think about while we go:
What makes YOUR life easier?
What is one of your secrets to success, something people might not have tried?
What did you just discover and have been telling everyone about?
Or...what do *you* do that you wonder why everyone else does it wrong?
Let’s go.
Get it done.
"There are approximately 17 million software applications and websites out there built to manage your to do list," Gina
Trapani, founder of Lifehacker, wrote in 2006.
Nearly 10 years later, the actual number might be twice that. Well, if you remove a few zeros, that is.
Search "todo" in Apple's iOS App Store and you get 3,680 results. In the Mac App Store, 195 results. In Google Play, a
seemingly infinite scroll of results.
