'I showed a coworker this last week and he looked at me like I invented fire.'

,"What’s your 'I can’t believe other people don’t do this' hack?" And we thought we'd share some of them along with you."Windows + V for clipboard history. I showed a coworker this last week and he looked at me like I invented fire.

" "Keep a running note of gift ideas for your loved ones, year round. When holidays, birthdays, etc. roll around, it's a lifesaver." "Keep note of TV shows, movies, books, music, games, and whatever else you want to get to when you have time, and where to find them . The next time you have spare time and can't think of what to watch/read/do, go to your list.""Put days that matter to your loved ones in your calendar. Not just birthdays and stuff like that; anniversaries of loved one's passings. Sober birthdays. Milestones. Make a point of reaching out on those days." "I always put my keys in the exact same pocket or spot at home. I haven’t lost keys in years. My past self used to be a clown. My current self is a responsible adult." "If I'm invited to a Christmas party where I have gifts for some friends, I wrap two boxes of chocolates and attach a blank name tag so that if I receive a gift from someone unexpectedly, I can quickly scribble their name and it looks like I had a gift for them the whole time. If I don't have to deploy the tactical choc, then I have a nice treat for January." "I have a keyboard shortcut on all my devices where @@ automatically enters my email address. On an iPhone, you set it up by going to settings, general, keyboard, text replacement." "Invest in multiple phone chargers. I have one by my bed, in the living room, my home office, and my car. None of them are ever to be moved. The lone exception is the fifth charger that I keep in my travel bag, along with a power bank. Haven't seen my battery go below 20% in years.""When you buy a thing that has warranty, take a picture of the receipt with your phone. Then store the picture in a dedicated warranty folder. Lastly, rename the receipt YYYY-MM-DD ITEMNAME where the date is the expiration date of the warranty. Now you have all your warranties easily accessible and you can sort them by date." "When I’m stressed, I ask myself: ‘Will this matter in five years?’ 90% of the time the answer is no." "Create a linen pack: I fold up the matching flat sheet, fitted sheet, doona cover/duvet cover/quilt cover and one pillow case into a bundle and put it all inside the other matching pillow case. It’s easier to store and to grab everything you need for changing the bed.""If you're depressed and struggling with getting a grip on life in general. Start small like clean out a drawer or clear a small area and then the next day do something else and eventually you'll notice that you're able to manage the bigger tasks because the small ones are already done." "Hang washing on hangers. Eliminates most of the ironing and no pegs marks. Then just steam any clothes that need it on the hanger. So efficient." "Prepare for your morning the night before. Whether it is for your usual morning routine, or a one-off event, lay out everything you will need before retiring to bed so you barely need to think in the morning. Not only is it more relaxing, your mind will have the time to think of other small details you may have forgotten." "Always set calendar reminders for every bill and subscription a few days before it’s due/renews. It takes 10 minutes to set up and has easily saved me thousands by now."
