I can hear my own writing

Writing a blog every week is some kind of a challenge, but I keep faith that I will manage somehow.

A hack of a life

This time I want to share one of the life hacks that changed my life the most.
For the readers that are not familiair with lifehacking this quote from Wikipedia will tell a lot:

... The term became popularized in the blogosphere and is primarily used by computer experts who suffer from information overload or those with a playful curiosity in the ways they can accelerate their workflow, in ways other than programming. "Life" refers to an individual's productivity, personal organization, work processes or any area the hacker ethic can be applied to solve a problem...

And for the best lifehacks you have to visit the Lifehackers website.

The LiveScribe "echo"

Lifehacks keep my chaotic life more organized. By using hacks I am able to remember things better (I have a poor memory of my own unfortunately), use my time to an optimum, have more spare time left and enjoy the creative minds of others.
Last year I heard of a gadget that turned my world upside down. In a consumer magazine in the Netherlands (de Consumentengids) I read a short story about a pen that records the voices of the people in your meeting while you were taking notes. They made a nice Youtube movie (NL) to explain this wonder pen. 
When I saw the movie I understood the impact this pen would have on my live and went to the website of LiveScribe. I studied all the videos on the site and decided that this pen, the "echo", could help me a lot in life.
I orderd my pen and extras at the Dutch website SchrijfOpShop.nl. I ordered not only the pen but the Pro Package as well. Because those extras (notebook, special earplugs, extra ink and the software package MyScript) where interesting for that price.
