LifeButBetter.com – Making Life Simpler One Post at a Time (blog review)
Being a blogger myself, I love reading other blogs! I especially love reading blogs that help exact change in other people’s lives. This is true of LifeButBetter.com. Simply put, this blog seeks to help you make life a bit simpler via small changes. The tips are usually short (easy to digest), easy to implement, and helpful. In their own words: “LifeButBetter specializes in suggesting better approaches to activities that we already carry out. We don’t need to do extra ’stuff’, just do things a little differently.” From what I have read so far, they are right.
I think I first came across the blog while on YouTube. You see, they recorded a video showing a simple tip about headphones and uploaded it to YouTube. Because they branded the video with the site’s name, I was able to find out where the blog was. Check out the video:
This blog is a fairly new one but already there are many simple tips to make life simpler. They seem to post every couple of days or once a week. Let’s take a look at some of the articles I find interesting and helpful.

Pen and Paper vs Cloud Computing
In this interesting article (I say interesting often when I find something humorous) the author continues a debate that has become quite common these days. I find it interesting because instead of following the common “desktop vs. cloud computing”, they take a different approach and make a point of the old school pen and paper. I think I just recently had this discussion with my wife after I wrote the article about online grocery shopping list tools. Apparently there are still some uses for the old style data entry method of writing stuff down.
