The term was used in 2004 during the O'Reilly
Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego, California by
technology journalist Danny O'Brien to describe the "embarrassing" scripts and shortcuts productive IT professionals use to
get their work done.[2][4]
After his presentation, use of the term life hack spread in the
tech and blogging community.[citation needed]
O'Brien and blogger Merlin Mann later co-presented a session called "Life Hacks Live" at the 2005 O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference.[5] The two also co-author a column entitled "Life Hacks" for O'Reilly's Make magazine which debuted in February 2005.[6]
The American Dialect Society voted lifehack (one word) as the runner-up for "most useful word of 2005" behind podcast.[7] The word was also added to the Oxford Dictionaries Online in June 2011.[8]
Lifehack.org was founded by Leon Ho in 2005; [9] HackCollege, a lifehacking site for four-year university students by Kelly Sutton and Rosario Doriott, was founded in 2006.[10] MashGeek, a blog curating digital lifehacking articles since May 2011, was founded by Karan Goel to help people become more productive by using technology.[11]
