What are some life hacks that you practice?

Okay, aside from the first one, I don’t even know if I would technically call these “life hacks”. But #lifehack was basically a whole genre of my TikTok experience in 2021, so obviously I saved a million of them, and these are the ones that actually stuck.

Iced Coffee Cubes: This one is genuinely genius. If you have leftover coffee, freeze it in an ice cube tray and then use the coffee cubes in your iced coffee. So when they melt, your coffee doesn’t become sad, watery coffee. You’re welcome.

The 2-Minute Rule: If something takes less than two minutes to do, just do it immediately. Don’t tell yourself you’ll do it later because… you probably won’t. And my other rule is: put it away, don’t put it down. Because apparently putting something “down for a second” is how you end up with a pile of random stuff everywhere.

Have a Drop Spot: This has honestly changed my life more than it should have. Pick one spot in your house where you always put your keys, sunglasses, wallet, mask, whatever you need when you leave. And then actually train yourself to use it. When you’re running out the door, you don’t have to do that frantic “WHERE ARE MY KEYS?!” routine. You just go to the spot. Everything is there. It’s almost suspiciously easy.

Anyway, those are my very official, probably-not-actually-life-hacks. What’s a life hack you swear by? I need to know because clearly I’m still collecting them.
