Problem is that when I’m not listening to music, I can get distracted by what is going on around me. ADD? Yes! Ritalin? No!

I’ve found the best solution to this problem in an iPhone app called Ambiance. For just $0.99, you can transcend yourself to a grassy knoll overlooking a river flowing through a valley of chirping birds, travel throughout Europe on a train, or work from home in your Hawaiian tin roof shack during a tropical rain storm (OK so i can really do that last one).





I’ve noticed my productivity skyrocket while using this app, because it not only drowns out external distractions, but it puts me in a great mood for working hard.

This is probably the only iPhone app worth more than it costs. Best $1 I’ve ever spent!

I gave in and donated to the Ron Paul campaign today (proof above). I’m really excited about his ideas and his beliefs. He is the only candidate I’ve ever seen who speaks with passion, honesty, and integrity. Other candidates just seem like puppets on a stick to me. Paul’s 10 years of experience in congress give him a great insight into how things work, where the problems are, and his solutions just make good sense. He also really knows his history which is important for making good decisions of our future.

Last election I voted for the lesser of the two evils. This election I am voting for someone I whole-heartedly believe can make a positive impact on our country and someone that I would be proud to have as our president.

Cinnamon Coffee

Ever put cinnamon on top of your coffee? I sure do and love it. Tyler says to put the cinnamon on top of the grinds before you brew the coffee and it brews the cinnamon in. Brilliant! Works like a charm and tastes better than ever without the powder on top.

Save your clutch

I have an old jeep wrangler that has definitely seen better days. I’ve recently had the problem with the clutch grinding when going into reverse. It happens about every time. My friend told me i can avoid the grinding all together just by putting it in 1st before I put it in reverse. I’m not sure about the inner-workings of a clutch, but this works great. Putting it into 1st gear stops whatever mechanism that causes the grinding into reverse. This tip alone will likely add years to the clutch!

Thanks for the awesome hacks Tyler!
