The usefulness of the internet does not stay inside of itself, it has seeped into many aspects of our lives. Now, the vast array of web content includes teaching you how to be productive and how to make life easier. A general term coined for this sort of topic is called 'lifehacks'.

'Lifehacks' is the combination of the two words that together basically interprets as things you can learn to make your life easier. For full definition, see this article. People will write about all sorts of tips that can help you in life; topics range from managing money, planning for the future, getting things done to how to use something more efficiently. Sometimes, internet or software tips are also considered lifehacks so you might run into those. Nonetheless, there's nothing like benefiting from on-line self-help for free.

There are a few ways to look for lifehacks. My personal recommendation is del.icio.us. But here's a list of great pages for this purpose.

You don't have to be a pro to write a lifehack article. As long as you have knowledge that can benefit people, you can write one in your blog and it will definitely interest your readers. The ability to share knowledge with the rest of the world can make it a better place.
