The author illustrates some useful pieces of advice, such as the power of networking and knowing the right people. However, she then goes on to say that the only real skill you need to know is “pretending.” If you pretend you know what you’re doing, you’re good at everything in the eyes of your employer and your network. While this advice could work for the short-term, let me fill you in on something a little more useful: faking it till you make it is poor intern advice....

Sounds like a funny question, especially for a topic on Lifehack, whose sole purpose is to show you how to get things done faster and better. But, the question remains. What is the point of these systems and getting all this stuff done?

Travel lovers are more receptive to people and experiences. Adventure out of your familiar social network and neighborhood, and you expose yourself to new people with life perspectives different from yours....

If motivation is the answer, then how is it that after reading all the books, listening to all the audios and attending all the life-changing seminars, you are still no closer to success than you had hoped?...

If we come back from our vacation rejuvenated, the reset was a success, if we don’t the reset was not long enough – we didn’t have enough time on our vacation to accomplish all that we wanted to do. And/or if we come back totally stressed out, we blame it on doing too much on the vacation, instead of resting But all of this could not be further from the truth because the problem is not what you are doing to reset, but rather the frequency of the reset itself....

7 Wise Ways to Find Focus and Get Things Done

If you’re packing your computer or briefcase and lugging it home to do more work most days you gotta ask yourself, “Why am I doing this?” When you’re sitting in front of the keyboard writing an email to someone at the office at midnight would your friends ask, “Aren’t there other things you’d rather be doing?” When you get your paycheck do you think, “I sure get paid well, that’s why I work all the time!...

1. Change Change is the reason so many people choose to write. It is what drives me – and perhaps many of you.

For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” And writing about both the good and bad experiences has been the foundation of change. Not convinced? Let me tell you exactly how writing can instigate change – both on a personal and global level....

It is hard though to break old habits and form new ones. People seem to believe that they can transform their lives by simply making a wish when comes the New Year. But 92% of these resolutions fail.[1] Could it be that modern life makes us lazy?...

1. They allow you to cheat Let’s get this one out of the way early, shall we? Video games are full of cheats and tricks that allow you to unlock certain areas or items without putting in all the (gasp) work you would otherwise need to do if you played the game fairly. While I wouldn’t condone getting ahead in life through unethical or immoral means, there are certainly many people who have gotten away with doing just that....

Combining speed and diving, the Subwing is an entirely new underwater experience. Imagine being dragged behind a boat like a wakeboard, but underwater. The contraption works using an attachment that is hooked up to a jet ski or boat. The person then holds on for dear life as he or she is being pulled to extreme speeds. The wing is foldable, allowing full control of depth and angle. I recommend the Subwing for water sports enthusiasts who are looking for the next big thing that they can use to push themselves to the next level....
