If you’re not familiar with If This, Then That (IFTTT), then let me be the first to introduce you to a profound time saver on the web. It allows you to cross-post automatically from over a hundred sources, and create productivity-enhancing shortcuts to do many of the mundane tasks that waste so much time on the web. Each task automation is referred to as a “recipe”, and there are thousands to choose from.

PC Mag came out with a list of 100 top last year, and I’m making it a New Year’s resolution to incorporate at least 2-3 a week throughout the year into my own workflow.

Does anyone else use IFTTT? If so, what are your favorite recipes?
