If I don't want to do it, it doesn't make me money, and its not a family obligation, I don't do it.
How I hack email:
Employees and close friends get my email address. No one else should have it.
How I hack my phone:
Employees, close friends, and attractive girls have it. I never answer an unknown number. I never return a call from a company, they have to send something in writing.
How I hack making phone calls to companies:
Personal assistant does it.
How I hack snail mail:
My lawyer picks it up once a week, important stuff I see eventually.
Lifehacking isn't about optimizing an annoying task, its about not doing it.

"Lifehacking isn't about optimizing an annoying task, its about not doing it."
I would argue that most of us don't have personal assistants and lawyers to deal with our petty problems 24/7.
I'd argue that not doing something is just a form of optimization.
