I remember the time Life Hacks were a pretty cool thing you can find on the internet. Than 5 minutes crafts and friends came around like I hurricane and gave Life Hacks the worst wrap possible. We click on clickbaite and that's why we can't have nice things, kids.
Whatever. Give me one actually useful Life Hack you do in your day to dY life. Bonus points of you came up with it yourself.
@mayaisloading You can buy extension tube for $20 on Amazon that go from your soap pump directly into your dish soap container. They come with multiple lids to find the right size. They also have check valves to keep the soap from draining back into the jug. That's why you can't just buy the tube.

Life hack: when an open WiFi (or maybe a website) demands your email address for access, go into your spam folder and grab an email address in the From field. Worked for me so far.
Wednesday Life Hack.
Always keep a potato masher in a drawer. Because 'will-the-drawer-open?' roulette is as fun as Russian roulette but without the jeopardy.
I usually follow back, and really appreciate boosts.
Knowing how to learn is such a critical skill, and it doesn't get talked about enough. How to gather info, organise it, pick out what matters, recognise patterns, break big problems down into smaller ones, etc. If you can do those things, you can accomplish literally anything, it doesn't matter the topic or field.
Millennials have accumulated more debt than previous generations, and prenups can help millennial couples navigate some of the concerns about debt in marriage.
For example, couples can agree in a prenup to allocate student loan debt to the person who took out the loan.
Are there effective responses to being provoked, picked on, blamed, attacked? Absolutely—but they’re not all being taught or shared a lot. A few quotes that I’ve found useful.
Not many #LifeHacks to share but here is one: take zoom-in pictures of small #flowers around you and it will set you up for the day, I promise! Took these just now, just walking out of school after drop off
PSA: check if you updated your table of contents BEFORE you hand in your text.
Not a week after it, like I just did...
I handed in my last big uni paper with the table of contents still showing an emoji status for every chapter 🙈

Luckily no 💩, but might still come off as a little unprofessional 😁
#Tip for very cold #weather: face #masks help not only against viruses. If you have no ski mask, take a chirurgical one. You can even cut small holes for your nose against the freezing condensation (if you wear glasses). #lifehacks#frost#cold#ColdWeather
Some excellent ideas to help you get back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of your sleep time. My wife has severe issues with getting enough sleep, largely due to childhood trauma. I think she'll ultimately need to see a therapist to help her sleep but there are some good ideas here.

I don't know who needs to hear this*, but when you're washing dishes, you need to wash all the surfaces of every dish. The top and bottom of the plate, the inside and outside of the pot, the tines and handle of the fork, etc.

We save some for the garden but most go in the house
We put them, after they cool off completely, into mesh bags and then in containers with holes in them to suck up bad odor in rooms
Also, if you ever have an empty house, apartment, etc, plain charcoal will keep that vacant house smell at bay as it will suck the odor into the charcoal
Great odor control for nonenal smelling households, too, like geriatric or homebound homes. We do it #LifeHacks
