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. One hack he advocates is what he calls 10+2x5. Rather than starting work only to be sucked into time-wasting websites, set a timer for 10 minutes and focus exclusively on a task for that interval. Then give yourself two minutes for whatever frivolity you crave. Repeat that process five times, and you'll have gotten 50 productive...
...inducing lady, you also get faux-grainy footage, zombies, and Kurt Russell. Now that guy, I’d pay to see. “Escape From New York” is a forgotten classic, yo. Ocean’s 13 Trailer Trash Oh, Jesus H. Christ on a crutch. For one thing, the trailer doesn’t even live up to the basic level of slickness that you’d expect from a trailer in the “Ocean’s Insert Number Here” series.

Could it become a "party" drug or a Viagra-like crutch that people erroneously believe will provide them with absolute protection? "We'll need a lot of behavioral research, which I think should be initiated as soon as possible," he says. "Particularly when it looks like PrEP will become a reality." Resistance is a key issue with PrEP as well, and if effective PrEP drugs are used widely, the problem of resistant HIV expands exponentially...
