Now there are websites for fun, websites for lists, websites to while away the time of a workday and then there are websites that really make a difference to the smooth logistical running of a seriously efficient lifestyle. Here are our top seven.

Unroll.Me
unroll.me


Oh how we love to unsubscribe, take the process one step further; declutter with the site that facilitates the tossing of the junk in one simple click.

NO 0870
www.saynoto0870.com


How we could wax lyrical about the money saved with No 0870, rarely is there a premium rate number that can’t be circumvented with the sourcing of a normal local phone number by this utterly genius site.

URBAN DICTIONARY
www.urbandictionary.com


All those brilliant phrases that haven’t hit the Oxford Dictionary yet, the street slang, from the niche to the ubiquitous, it’s all there just waiting to pepper your speech at dinner parties.

FAMOUS QUOTES & AUTHORS 
www.famousquotesandauthors.com


Along with Brainy Quote, this is one of our favourite quotation sites; wedding speeches, copy, articles, mere conversation, there are few circumstances that can’t be improved with the addition of a pertinent quote, because as Jean Cocteau said, The greatest masterpiece in literature is only a dictionary out of order.

LIFE HACKER
lifehacker.com


Another favourite, Life Hacker is a site replete with brilliant fodder for the time sensitive. Shortcuts from everything from festival guides – particularly pertinent right now to Wimbledon charm offensives, everything you need to make life that little bit easier.

CHANGE DOMAIN
www.changedetection.com


Want to keep abreast of changes to a particular website? Then head for change detection and log your site of choice. It’s completely free, and incredibly useful for those who need to keep abreast of minute by minute developments across the web.

TICKETY SPLIT 
splitticket.moneysavingexpert.com


This facility from the clever people at Money Saving Expert, maximizes the money saving potential of separate tickets over returns, by sourcing single fares. You’ll be amazed at how much you can save.
