Shownotes Transcript

I have no clue when everyone started talking about “hacks”…..but I absolutely hate that word.  I see it everywhere…”5 hacks to improve your mood”….”#1 hack to save you time”….”top 3 productivity hacks.”

One definition of hack is “an inelegant solution to a problem.” 

Inelegant solution.

Don’t get me wrong…I am all about quick…I am all about solutions….but more importantly, I am ALL about setting up systems, tools and processes that work…that grow…that stick with you for life.  I want elegant solutions. And…the simpler, the better. I don’t want a short term “hack” that won’t last.

I HATE the word “hack” for this reason.  I have yet to see a “hack” that helped formed new, sustainable, awesome practices.
