Well, firstly, what is a life hack? My understanding of “hack” back in the 1990s was people hacking into other people’s computers 😀.
Before the web, I might have asked a friend what the term “life hack” means, but the term only came into use in the 21st Century. Before the widespread us of AI, I would have Googled it. Now, I just ask Microsoft Copilot ot whatever.
What is a life hack?
A life hack is a simple trick, shortcut, or clever technique that makes an everyday task easier, faster, or more efficient.
I can’t really think of any life hacks that I practice- or maybe I just implement them without thinking about them. Maybe if I had just discovered something fresh and new, I could answer.
One thing that does come to mind is my plan to go through the New Testament sometime soon on something like Bible Gateway, and ask AI about anything that puzzles me. Previously, I would have used commentaries. Some people mistrust AI, but I always find the answers interesting, and I can perform deeper research if I need to. I just see the answers as sharing opinions.
Regarding life in general, I don’t think I generally devise anything particularly clever. I generally just get tips from other people. I’ll be interested to see what other people have posted on this. I might even pick up some useful life hacks 😀. And I’ll be able to answer this question if it’s asked again 😀.
