A teacher I had a few years ago always used to say to me "work smarter, not harder". This little motto comes to mind when I am thinking about why life hacks are so important. No matter how random the life hacks may seem there might be an instance in the near future you can utilize them. Over time I have learned this list of life hacks from my friends, family and myself. I hope they are beneficial to you in some way!! Remember, life should be easy. Life hacks aren't cheating, they are just using your resources. "Work smarter, not harder."
1.
If you don't have any silver cleaner, tooth paste is a good substitute to clean and shine silver—this will have it looking good as new!
2.
Don’t have makeup remover? Coconut oil, baby oil and Vaseline all work as great substitutes.
3.
Whenever I have something due, I always find myself doing anything and everything to push back the work a little longer. One life hack I've learned is to clean your room before any assignments are due to end procrastination.
4.
If you wear your hat to the gym or to work, or even just out on a hot day remember to wash your ball cap and then use a rolled up towel that helps the hat keep it's shape while it air dries.
5.
I've been doing this one since high school: If you have a head ache rub the skin in between your index and your thumb.
6.
If you have a brain freeze put your thumb on the roof of your mouth, I know not everyone is up for putting their fingers in their mouths, but this makes a brain freeze go away very quick!
7.
Using a cell phone before bed can cause insomnia, it is most likely best to put down all devices when you are heading to sleep, use that time to reflect and prepare yourself for the days to come.
8.
To prevent acne sleep on your back and wash pillows and sheets frequently, it's also smart to not go to bed with oily products in your hair.
9.
Organize your closet by color, that way when you're looking for something specific it will be much easier to find.
10.
If you are having a creative dry spell read a book or watch a movie that will get your mind off what you have to do and help ideas come to you more naturally, the books or movies will also open your mind to new ideas.
