I agree, but I also think this argument goes both ways. The 5K runners think the couch potatoes should run more, the marathon trainers think the 5K runners should run more, etc. In a similar fashion, the "inefficient" are bombarded with lifehacking advice from the likes of Tim Ferriss and David Allen. I think if there's one good takeaway from this article, it's that the lifehackers should "live and let live" as well. Not everyone needs or wants to optimize their life.

I agree with that too. People don't need to evangelize their latest productivity system.

  I'm not sure. I'll agree that it can be irritating, but I think sometimes people actually do need to evangelize their latest $WHATEVER in order to help motivate themselves and stay focused. Whether or not this is a sign of un/healthy activity could also be an interesting debate.

    Yes, generally it's more about the evangelizer rather than their target (see: vegan, Christian, vi-user, etc)

      Haha! Wait... That was funny until the part about vi. Vim is the best editor ever and you should use it! Your editor is bad and you should feel bad!
