35 Life Hacks You Should Know

DOMESTIC HACKS 1. Reverse Your Hangers Put your clothes in your closet with the hangers reversed once a year. As you pull clothes out, reverse the hanger. Every year give away any clothes that you never took out (hangers face original direction.) GET OUT OF THE HOUSE IN TIME Make your playlist exactly as long as you have to get ready in the morning. Go from chill songs to more energetic. You will be able to tell how you are doing on time by the currently playing song. UNLOCK A CHAIN LOCK FROM OUTSIDE Find a rubber band, Attach the rubber band to the chain I Instead of tearing open the banana at the stem (which can lock, then to the inside door handle. As you close the door from the outside, the rubber band will pull the chain and the lock will dislodge. Works like a charm. OPEN A BANANA THE RIGHT WAY be a real struggle), just flip the banana over and open it by pinching the stem. There is a reason monkeys do it this way. REMEMBER TO BRING USE ALUMINUM FOIL ICE COLD DRINK IN IMPORTANT THINGS CORRECTLY 3 MINUTES FLAT When you need to remember to bring something with you, put your car keys on it the night before, or put the item you need to remember on your shoes. On the ends of every box of aluminum foil there are tabs to push in that keep the roll from popping out; same for cling film.

SCHOOL/EDUCATION HACKS mp3.doc 23 SOURCES FOR YOUR THESIS BUY SOME TIME GET YOUR THUMBDRIVE BACK If you are charged with writing a lengthy research paper, find one very solid source that directly pertains to your thesis, and then you can use that source's bibliogra- phy to back into locating new sources. Alternatively use the bibliography of a Wikipedia entry. Need more time writing that paper? Grab a jpg, mp3, or some other media file and rename it "My Awesome Essay.doc" and send to professor. The "paper" will be look "corrupt" and it'll buy you a day or two more. Put an "Identification.txt" file in your flash drives. Include all relevant contact info so you can get it back if lost. WORK/PRODUCTIVITY HACKS 25 GET PAID TO POOP KEEP MOTIVATED WORK AS BEER TASTER You'll be using less of your own time and more of your company's time. If you poop for an average of 10min per day, your company will have paid you for more than 40 hours of poop- ing by the end of the year. That's half as long as most paid vacations! If there's something big you need to get done, tell all your friends you're going to do it. The fear of looking like an ass helps keep you motivated. When you're about to be born; press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and select. If you did it correctly, you'll later get a job as a beer taster.

For those that have "for pay"Wi- Fi by adding "?jpg"at the end of any URL. Often Wi-Fi at airports do not redirect images, allowing this hack to work.

Then cut it up into quarters. So it's a 4 month supply for $15 bucks. Your circadian rhythm can be manipulated by 2 your eating schedule. Stop eating during the 12- 16 hour period before you want to be awake. Once you start eating again, your internal clock will be reset as though it is the start of a new day.
