Highlights: News and Posts

It’s exciting at lifehack.org. Editors and contributors have done some great content (as always), and people has responded positively as shown from the pingbacks and trackbacks, diggs and bookmarks to us. Those are some great encouragements for all of us - thank you.

I will interview couple of people this week - I have connected with Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek, and I am preparing some questions to get his productivity tips how he could achieve the holy-grail, the 4-hour workweek. Penelope Trunk is also on my interview list this week. Penelope and I know each other a while back through number of posts she has done. She is a columnist of Boston Globe and the author of a new book - Brazen Careerist: New Rules for Success. I will get her insights on ground-breaking tips to get to the top of the business world. On top of all those, I am working with Tony Clark on another episode of our podcast. Stay tuned! Anyway, here are some coverages about lifehack.org recently:
