Love this! Adds an important point to what you’re saying in your article: Most of these life hack articles read like stock material too. All these ‘how to’-lists master the art of giving advice without really giving advice. As in: a hand’s on approach.

Whenever I come across one of them and make the mistake of reading them, I’m amazed about how unspecific they are. They usually say things like “you have to find the way that works best for you!“

If I have to find the way that works best for me — meaning I’m actually gaining nothing from knowing the way that worked best for them — how do these people dare to consider their advice of any value for others? I’d rather waste my time in a million other ways, thanks.
