We’re at the halfway mark of Lifehack’s 12 Days of Giveaways holiday promotion and it’s been a great success so far. We’ve received plenty of entries with some great comments for each — it’s too bad we can only choose a limited amount of winners.
That said, there are still giveaways coming each weekday until the 23rd of December. There’s still lots of chances to take home something to help boost your productivity for the coming year, and we’re going to keep that going today with a giveaway from The Womack Company.
But before we get to that…here are the winning entries from yesterday’s giveaway.
Our questions was, “What text expansion or automation from TextExpander will save you the most time and why?”, and the two winning comments were submitted by Jasedit and Stef Gonzaga, who wrote (respectively):
“I have to write a daily status update for work, and it’d make my life far easier to be able to shortcut half the boilerplate. Plus I can imagine it making Markdown far easier to work with. Here’s to hoping!”
“Textexpander will save me time from inserting my byline for blog posts in HTML format, content for product descriptions, and shipping and billing info when shopping online. I sure hope I get a copy!”
Congratulations to both winners! Now…what’s up for grabs today, you ask?
Today’s Giveaway
Jason Womack and The Womack Company have a simple mission in mind:
“Improving your productivity, one day at a time, through implementing best-practices of psychology, sociology and technology.”
That’s it. Pretty simple, right? Not entirely…it takes a lot of expertise and the ability to inspire to see a mission like that through. The Womack Company has that in spades. The company has been around for nearly five years — not to mention that Jason Womack has worked with the likes of David Allen (among others) during many more years of study and service beyond that. The Womack Company focusses on workplace performance, individual productivity, talent development and continual improvement — and they deliver the goods to help those who work with them raise their games.
Now, The Womack Company is giving one Lifehack reader a chance to raise their game as well.
Today’s giveaway includes one copy of the following:
- Making Things Possible: 15 Tips for Time Management DVD
- 20 Time-Saving Tips Audio CD
- The book “The Promise Doctrine”
- …and a a “SPECIAL” client-only copy of the audio CD: Building Your Personal Excellence: Your Best Just Got Better

I have some very specific goals set for 2012. I’ve already written them down on index cards and placed them in various places around my house so I’m constantly reminded of them. I will be consistent in my daily routine which I believe will help me be able to stick to my plan to accomplish those goals. ”I can’t” will be removed from my vocabulary!
The other thing I’m going to do is stick with what works (READ: I’m a recovering productivity junkie lol). There are so many wonderful tools & techniques, but trying to use ALL of them will make me far less productive in the long run.
“How do you plan to make your best even better for the coming year?”
I am constantly striving to improve. As an educator, healer, father, and life long learner I will continue to strive to become better in all that I do.
I am eliminating “can’t” from my vocabulary. With the help of the Womack package, I know that I would be able to achieve more than ever before.
Thanks, Brian Sabb
How do you plan to make your best even better for the coming year?
I will be more INTENTIONAL in defining what I want to achieve in every “account” of my life.
I will be more SPECIFIC in describing the outcome of each one of my project.
I will make the habit of FOCUSING a bit extra time daily on 1 very important thing I’ve choosen the day before.
(If I win) I’d like to receive the special CD. My email: a[dot]aresca[at]gmail[dot]com
I plan to make my best even better by:
1) Clearly defining my workplace goals and outcomes with my supervisors,
2) Clearly defining my personal goals for myself by specifically identifying my projects and responsibilities,
3) Keeping my goals on track by setting aside time to wander outside, my favorite and most effective way of thinking,
4) Taking at least one class or seminar to improve work-related skills, and
5) Clearly delineate between work and play time, giving me the mental space to “get clear” and enter flow.
Started to work only 8 hours a day, but eliminating anything that could disturb me. Scheduled meetings have to be on schedule – you are late 10 minutes, meeting is over, you planned the meetingh for 30 minutes – and those 30 minutes are gone, meetings is over – dear mr. managing director.
No personal calls, no personal e-mails, no rss reading, no slacking. Powerworking.
aaand – 4 hours a week in the gym or wherever, didn’t move other than walking to and from my office and some fitness is GREAT productivity booster.
