10 Easy Life Hacks Everyone Should Know

lifehack:

noun: a strategy or technique adopted in order to manage one's time and daily activities in a more efficient way.

We all want to make our lives easier so regardless of your age, here are 10 life hacks everyone should know.

 1. Use your phone to take a photo of where you’ve parked your car when you’re out. This is handy when you need to find it again, especially in parking garages or a neighborhood where everything looks the same.

 2. Use your phone to take a photo of all the medication you use (or a photo of medications used by those you care for). It’s great in case of an emergency or when you take a loved one to a new doctor.

 3. Don’t want a turkey neck in photos? Photographers recommend that you stick your neck out and tuck your chin down.

 4. If you want a bigger smile in photos, squint your eyes a little.

 5. If you’re tired of remembering which key unlocks what, paint a small dot on the key so you can remember what key is for what lock. Example: green for the front door, red for the side door, etc.

 6. Make the most of your pantry space with an over the door shoe organizer. They’re cheap and you can sort your favourite snacks, frequently used products, etc all in a convenient and see through place.

 7. If you are tired of letting friends borrow things and forgetting who has what, snap a photo of them and what they borrowed. Will help when your trusted friend claims they never borrowed your favourite dress or tool.

 8. If you hate grocery lists, take a photo of what’s inside your refrigerator or pantry so you can remember if you need that 4th jar of tomato sauce.

 9. Want a leak proof ice pack? Wet a sponge, place into a plastic bag, and freeze.

10. Make your cleaning products last longer by diluting with white vinegar so you don’t have to buy them as often.

Item 5 - rather than painting dots or whatever onto the keys, have every door keyed alike, including any external sliding doors! That way you need just one key regardless of how many external doors you might have. Item 10 - better still, use white vinegar and baking soda for your cleaning.
