Two nice bits of coverage over the last week or so.

PC World named my site, 43 Folders, as one of their “100 Blogs We Love,” noting the site helps people organize their digital and analog lives. I like the way they put that.

Also, last week, TIME Magazine (who previously selected 43f for their “Pick Of The Podcasts”) did a short story on “life hacking” called “Hacking Toward Happiness” that quoted me and mentioned 43 Folders.

Some life-hacking fans get so wrapped up in reading about efficiency that the sites become, ironically, another procrastination crutch. “We don’t need to overwhelm people with useless tips on how to put on a hat faster,” Mann says.

Thanks to TIME’s Jeremy Caplan and to the Editors at PC World for the kind acknowledgment. It’s much appreciated.
