Hack 1 — Phone charger faster trick
Problem: Your phone charges slow sometimes.
Simple fix: Turn on airplane mode or switch the phone off while charging.
How to do it: Plug charger, then swipe and turn on airplane mode. Or power off for 10–15 minutes.
Why it works: Phone uses less power when it is not searching for signal or doing background tasks. So battery fills faster.
Tip: Use a good cable and a fast charger if you have one.
Hack 2 — Sticky label trick for keys and cords
Problem: You get confused by many keys or messy cords.
Simple fix: Use small sticky tape or a color dot on each key or cord.
How to do it: Cut small tape pieces. Wrap one color to one key. Add a small label if you want. For cords, tie a colored rubber band.
Why it works: Your eye finds color faster than reading tiny words. This saves seconds and stops frustration.
Hack 3 — Quick snack that feels healthy
Problem: You want a snack but junk feels easy.
Simple fix: Keep a jar of mixed nuts and dried fruit ready.
How to do it: Mix your favorite nuts and dried fruit in a jar. Put it near the door or desk.
Why it works: When hunger hits, the ready jar beats the effort of cooking or finding something else.
Hack 4 — Shoe deodorizer hack using tea bags
Problem: Shoes smell after a long day.
Simple fix: Put dry tea bags inside shoes overnight.
How to do it: Use two dry tea bags and place one in each shoe when you sleep. Remove in the morning.
Why it works: Tea bags absorb moisture and odor. They are cheap and easy.
Hack 5 — Save time folding clothes — the roll method
Problem: Folding shirts takes time and space.
Simple fix: Roll clothes instead of folding.
How to do it: Lay the shirt flat. Fold sleeves in, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
Why it works: Rolled clothes take less space. They stay neat in suitcases and drawers.
Hack 6 — Water bottle reminder for better water habit
Problem: You forget to drink water.
Simple fix: Keep a clear bottle with lines to track sips. Or set a small alarm.
How to do it: Mark times on your bottle with a pen (8 AM, 10 AM, noon, etc.). Or set alarm at 10:00, 14:00, 17:00.
Why it works: Simple visual or sound reminders help habit building.
Hack 7 — Quick cleanup trick for crumbs and dirt
Problem: Cleaning the table or floor is boring.
Simple fix: Use a damp rubber glove to swipe crumbs together. Or use a dry sponge with a smile — it collects crumbs fast.
How to do it: Put a little water on the glove or sponge and sweep. Wipe into a dustpan.
Why it works: Static and small water help dirt stick. Clean in 30–60 seconds.
Hack 8 — Cable tangle fix using bread clips
Problem: Charging cables get tangled.
Simple fix: Use bread clips or small clips to label and hold cables.
How to do it: Clip one on each cable near the plug. Write device name with a pen. Clip also helps shape cable so it doesn’t tangle.
Why it works: Small fixes keep order. You spend less time untangling.
Hack 9 — Keep your snacks fresh — use an empty tissue box
Problem: Chip packs open and go stale.
Simple fix: Use an empty tissue box to store open snack bags.
How to do it: Slide open chip pack into box and close. The box holds shape and keeps air out.
Why it works: Snack packs stay upright and closed. They stay fresh for a longer time.
Hack 10 — Bedtime phone calm — the 10-minute rule
Problem: Phone keeps you awake.
Simple fix: Put the phone away 10 minutes before bed. Read a book or breathe.
How to do it: Set a 10-minute alarm as a reminder. Put phone on charge in another room.
Why it works: Blue light and messages wake your brain. A short break helps you sleep faster.
Hack 11 — Small shopping list trick — use one note for all lists
Problem: You forget what to buy or write many lists.
Simple fix: Use one small note pad for all shopping lists. Or use one note app and name it “Shopping”.

Why it works: One place holds all memory. You see what you need at a glance.
