I've been thinking of some faith hacks for a while that might be useful for myself and others, then I assumed others may have but thinking the same things. This is all I found, but it is pretty good:
GTD Principle: Re-claiming Your Ability to Focus « Youth Hacks
The main idea was that we can only hold so many items in our short-term memory at once. I've heard 2 or 3, and I've heard 8, but either way, there's a ceiling on how many things we can hold in our attention at once. David Allen compares it to RAM in a computer.I like this a lot, especially since the GTD system has helped me so much for work and home projects, so now I want to hack my spiritual life. Here are some ideas I've got so far, but please tell me if you can think of others:As that RAM part of our brain gets full, we start to triage, only dealing with what we deem the most "urgent" at the moment. The result is that we don't get around to doing some of the things are really important to us, especially those that don't feel urgent (visiting students, praying, spending time with family, writing personal notes, self-improvement, etc.)
I think these things could easily make an improvement on helping me close some open loops on my mind related to spiritual matters, which sadly are the least likely things to get done on all of my lists.
Get productive about getting things done in your spiritual life. Ask yourself, What's the next action on this? Then do it.
