Interruption Science

This is a piece from the Sunday NYT magazine on "life hacking," which is a geek term for personal efficiency improvement. A more eloqent definition from Cory Doctorow: "[L]ife-hackers, academic and amateur, [..]approach the ever-increasing craziness of high-tech life and its many interruptions as an engineering problem to be solved." Computers and the internet are great things, but they have made life more fragmented and interrupted. Life hackers apply efficency analysis to just about anything in life; from watching TV to being productive in college.

Here is a recent Baltimore Sun article with links to the leading life-hacking sites.
