It all leads us to the dark side of life hacks. John Pavlus, a recovering life hacker, talks about how obsessed he was with them.

He explains, “I think lifehacking is so seductive because it’s simply easier than asking some bigger, harder, more important questions about where your time and attention go. It’s less tiring. It’s less frustrating. It’s less frightening. It takes less commitment. The failures are less painful, and the successes are more frequent.”

“But over the last couple of years, it has begun to dawn on me: Maybe all the time I spend looking for better ways to do things is keeping me from, well, doing things,” he adds.

Also, we can’t deny that some of these hacks can actually be dangerous. Their potential for harm is unsettling, yet people promote them on social media. Reports show how they have led to tragic casualties in the past.
