4. This Moving Tip
Anyone who’s planning to move will surely appreciate this tip here. Instead of taking all your articles of clothing off the hangers bunch them up together and tie them up. Then, put a garbage bag over the whole thing. After you move in, just hang them up in your closet.
5. This Kitchen Solution For Pets And Kids
It’s pretty annoying when your kid or your pesky cat keeps grabbing that kitchen rag you’ve got hanging up. So put a stop to it all together by tying a rubber band around it. Problem solved.
6. This Clever Idea
“If you drop a small item on the floor and can’t find it, lay a flashlight flat on the floor and sweep it around the area. The low light angle will cast elongated shadows and make it easier to see small objects.”
Wow, I did not know that.
7. This Organization Idea
“My pen-free reusable checklist made from binder clips. For those reoccurring tasks that don’t work for me in a digital task list. With a satisfying check-off click.”
Oh my goodness, this is so neat. Isn’t it? I think it would be so fun to do this.
8. This Driving Tip

That’s such a great idea.
9. This Cleaning Trick
“If your cat interferes when changing bedsheets, leave a vacuum running in the room to keep them away.”
Ha, ha, I love this. Cats can be such pests, huh? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I adore cats. We have one of our own, but yes, they can be a little much sometimes.
10. This Sofa Cleaning Tip
Have you noticed that little piece of fabric at the back of your sofa? Do you know what it is there for, huh? Well, it’s there, so you can test any cleaning agents on it instead of ruining your actual couch. How handy is that?
11. This Home Appliance Repair Idea
“Fix appliances with YouTube help after googling your brand of machine.”
I cant totally attest to that advice. My fiancé is constantly on YouTube watching helpful videos on how to fix something. And most of the time, it works like a charm. It beats spending money to get somebody else to do it, ha, ha.
12. These Instant Tweezers
It really sucks when you get a splinter. Am I right? But it sucks, even more, when you don’t have any tweezers around. So in a pinch, you can just grab a few coins and do that. I need to try to see if it actually works.
13. This Shopping Hack
“When shopping for computer software such as security software, try viewing the item in the cart and then try leaving the page. Sometimes they’ll offer you an automatic discount of up to 75% as a last-ditch effort to get you to stick around.”
Holy cow!
14. This Needle Threading Hack
I don’t know about you, but my eyes aren’t what they used to be. Sometimes I have a hard time threading a needle. So I stumbled upon this neat idea where you press the thread through the needle with a toothbrush, and I think it’s pretty dang smart.

“Instead of bringing multiple travel adapters on holiday just bring one travel adapter and a regular multi-power block that you can use to plug all your stuff into.”
Um, where has this been all my life? This idea is totally genius, right?

“When hanging something with two hooks, use painter’s tape to get exact markings and a level on the wall. Hammer in your nails, and peel away the tape!”

“No generator? No problem! In a power outage, use ANY gas or diesel-fueled car, truck, van, or SUV as a generator by hooking up an inverter to the battery with the engine running to keep the battery fully charged at all times. Run an extension cord from the inverter into your house for power,” one Reddit user shared.
Seriously, what would we do without helpful hacks, huh?
They make life so much easier, and I don’t know about you, but that’s always been my goal in life. I have to admit I haven’t tried some of these, and I can’t wait to give them a go. What do you think? Do any of them stand out to you?
