If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid!
We humans are strange creatures. Sometimes we have this ill-advised notion that we know better than everyone else and can dismiss things without knowing much about them. But luckily, we're also open to learning and growing, even if it requires admitting that we don't have all the answers. So Reddit usermade a post on the platform, asking others to share the life hacks they thought were nonsense, but tried and found to be surprisingly effective.
The tuition was a lot more for non-residents. I read the fine print and it said if you own a business you would be considered a resident immediately. I got a business license for my new business, Green Thumbs Landscaping company, mowed my neighbors' lawns and saved a ton.I was trying to be more positive in general. So I began small, simply complementing every Ford Transit van I drive past. A dozen times a day I’d say to my self, “huh, nice Ford Transit”.
Some amount of blind confidence goes a long way. Having an “I’ll figure it out” attitude will get you really far. That's like $50/mo for me just for making a couple of phone calls. These are 'promotional' rates that they give you. They will automatically go back to your old rates after a certain amount of time. All you have to do is make a note in your phone letting you know that your promotional deal is about to be over and call again.To neutralize oils from hot peppers, use a liquid antacid, like Malox or Milk of Mag. I had handled hot peppers and my hands were on fire.
If I have forgotten someone’s name I’ll doublecheck with them “What is your name again?” And when they answer “John” or “Stewart” or whatever, I’ll say “oh I know you’re John, I meant your last name?” Carry a wide laundry basket in your vehicle; put all your groceries in that, making bringing them inside a one-trip move.In the morning while showering or getting dressed think about the things you are grateful for. It will help you start the day with a better mindset. No guarantee it will last, but it helps to start.
Don't shop for groceries when you're hungry. Plan your meals out as far as you can and buy them after a full meal.Started telling myself “it is what it is” on situations I have no control over and it’s done wonders for my stress level. I once heard that putting a wooden spoon over a pot of boiling water keeps it from boiling over, and to my surprise, it actually works! It seems so simple and silly, but it has saved me from countless messes in the kitchen.
Ditching all forward facing social media. My close friends stay in contact with me just the same and I don’t need to see acquaintances or influencers pretending to live perfect lives and/or their petty drama. I also scroll less and have more time to focus on my family.If you’re looking for something in your house and can’t find it in the first place you look, once you find it, move its permanent home to the first place you looked.Think about tasks as doing a kindness for your future self.
Hanging a tennis ball on a string from the garage ceiling. When it hits the windshield, that's where you park. This ensures the car is all the way in so you can close the garage door.If you burn yourself on the iron, for example, never run the area under the cold tap as per the normal approach. This instantly causes a blister, pain, and obvious discomfort.
For college, these were my three moving hacks, but can be applied to any situation where you have to move. Waiting 1.5 to 2 hours before drinking any caffeine in the morning is way more effective than first thing. Any time i cut up whole fruit like watermelon, pineapple, melons, etc, i spray the fruit shell with cleaner while in the trash. This has help to reduce the chances of gnats/ flies seeking it for food and laying eggs.
That's how I got my first high paying job. I landed an interview, knowing an existing staff member was in line for the role. To my surprise, they were impressed and offered me an entry-level role in an upcoming project that hadn't been advertised. and unroll, and you basically have a perfectly tucked in duvet. We just did it this weekend, and we're still mystified.
