The little boy Ukrainian Slava Baranskii knew that if we put a large Soviet nickels coin on the rails ("Krach!"), You get a knife. A free pass to the subway ("Opa!"), Rather abrupt movement of the hand to close the lights, and the turnstiles do not even move.
Today, an adult entrepreneur Baranskii - Site Editor www.lifehacker.ru - the main resource for layfhakingu in RuNet. "We are trying to surpass, transcend stereotypes and dogma: Moscow and Kiev - not the best city to live, spend time in the office from morning to night - not a very good job; Word - not necessarily the best program that can be used. That's what we see layfhaking "- said Slava.
On their homepage on the Internet, I listen spellbound magician David Blaine, who tells how in a few months, he painstakingly learned to hold their breath for a record 17 minutes and 4 seconds! Then open another link in a new window, and another and another ... I've been thinking that the score in the phone to remember the PIN of the new banknote Raiffeisen Bank ELLE. Layfhakery advised to come for this name, consonant with the name of the bank, and simply write in the book mobile. "Zina", "Ralph Lauren", "Raphael at the bank," or simply "Paradise"?
Two years ago, about 80% of the information on the site were translations from Western sources (including www.lifehacker.com, the number of hits is equal to browse the site of the newspaper The New York Times - about 1.5 million people a day). Baranskii quickly realized that the version of the barbecue near the house, or all together to ride a Roller Coaster "as advice on" How fun to spend the weekend with my family, "the Russian and Ukrainian readers is not suitable. Had to invent something of their own. Now lifehacker.ru number of transfers is only 20%. Everything else - personal observation and research site authors.
"Once I had drained a mobile phone, while I had to make an urgent call to his wife. I was surprised to find that I can not remember her number. After this incident, the site published an article on how to memorize numbers, and large blocks of information "- says Slava. Following his advice, arrange yourself workout memory. The bottom line is that you need to submit any image that looks like a specific number, or to create an association with any important date. And then to make of the story, which is at the right time will tell the desired number. So, in my mind there ... hmm ... a rag doll pop-eyed cartoon "Nine", which I see in the day of departure at the airport (January 8). Following is the icon of Andrei Rublev's "Trinity", another rag man "nine" and the broad back of a hockey player Pavel Bure, which flaunts his favorite number - 10. (Total: 981-39-10) When I tried a week to remember all this rubbish, I thought I was losing my mind, but nevertheless, the phone number of the advertising department ELLE itself surfaced in my memory. It worked! I'll try something else.
On the advice of Fame I sleep multiply 1.5 hours (3, 4.5, 6, 7,5 or 9 hours), rather than the classic eight - otherwise there is a chance to wake up frustrated. The method of Leonardo da Vinci - sleeping 15 minutes every four hours, I did not dare. In the evening I go for a jog with a mobile phone where I installed the program Endomondo. She expects to my path and physical abilities. And also find runners with similar data and arranges the virtual match.
In addition to his own body, I decided to do "hack"-formation. For example, wanting to teach Russian in exchange for Chinese lessons. To do this, I checked in on a special website where people from all over the world teach each other their native languages. My teacher was kind of Fay's Guangdong Province, with whom we have twice a week, communicating via Skype.
As told Baransky, I expect the exact time of travel by metro under the scheme at Yandex. And yet all have time! Airline tickets for relatives ordered on Tuesday - the best day for shopping. And no matter how casually advised relatives that if you ask for registration of a place of passage, and another - at the window, that is more likely to fly together on the three seats. And so it happened!
