For me, it's a case of having things that I'm really excited about, but can't spend good time upon. Sometimes that's because the little details of life interfere, other times its because I'm not motivated at the same moments when I have available time. Life Hacks are just little tricks to help free up time/energy to use for fun. They also are groomed habits to make it not only possible to clear away life administrivia, but make that the most natural and transparent action to take. Does this make me a cog in the corporate factory? I have both read Getting Things Done, and check in periodically on 43 Folders, but oddly enough not for any of the reasons you ascribe.
