It’s December and one side of my brain is already thinking about presents, imagining the warmth of home, and preparing a list of "must-buys" for Christmas entertaining . The other side ois stuck with the reality of my daily life: me, at the office, dealing with day-to-day tasks. My attention has been divided and this can be seen in my results. It’s not the best situation you want… Continue reading

To all our American readers, I and the rest of the Lifehack team wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings today.I wanted to avoid the typical, clichéd, count-your-blessings-what-are-you-thankful-for posts.

The holidays often come with a windfall or two: a monetary gift from a relative or a bonus from an employer. We don't necessarily expect these gifts — that's why they're called windfalls — so deciding what to do with them can be a little complicated. Perhaps you have a pressing need for cash to pay an important bill. If so, that kind of practical application may make your decision… Continue reading

Fat season. That's what we call it around my office. It starts on Halloween, and it usually runs straight through January. We are bombarded by holidays that require us to consume copious amounts of meats, pies, cookies, chocolates, and alcohol. On top of that, for those of us living in the north, it gets dreadfully cold and painfully hard to do as much moving around as we would like to… Continue reading

Christmas is a great holiday -- you get to spend a day with your family, wallowing in nostalgia and familial love, and you get presents on top of that! But what if you don't celebrate Christmas? What if you're not Christian, or your family is too far away, or you have no family, or you just aren't in the mood?
If you aren't celebrating Christmas, it can be

Buying online can usually save you a decent amount of money. The hardest part of purchasing anything online for me is that I rarely have the patience to wait for it to be mailed. Flowers are no different and can also be purchased online. However, it has been my experience that purchasing flowers online does not save any money. In fact, I have found that… Continue reading
