We’ve picked out some of the best life hacks that will help you out today. Check them out below and vote for your favorites⁠—it’ll help others find them too! We've shared our favorite life hacks before (here, here and here) but there’s always something new to learn. Bored Panda also spoke with Graham Allcott from Think Productive and he's given us some fantastic advice on how to do exactly that. If you're interested in beating procrastination and getting things done, read on for our full interview!

30 Useful Life Hacks That Are Worth Noting I used to do this when my daughter was little, "just in case." When going on a crowded outing with your kid, snap a photo of them on your cell phone camera when you arrive. That way, if something happens and you get separated, you have a photo of them that is recent, in the clothes they're wearing that day. Also, stick one of your business cards in your kid's pockets.

Although the term ‘life hacks’ is relatively new, the idea behind it is anything but. People have shared knowledge and better ways to do things since the start of recorded history. You can see an example of vintage life hacks in another article that we’ve posted.

So, where did this modern take on the term come from? It was originally coined in 2004 by Danny O'Brien, a technology journalist. O’Brien talks about this with Gina Trapani of LifeHacker.com, the website founded under the same expression of his. 

O’Brien said, “Life hacks popped out of an ongoing discussion I'd been having with people about ‘secret software’—the scripts that geeks write for themselves to get them through the day. Hacks are often a way of cutting through an apparently complex system with a really simple, non-obvious fix.”

“So, the idea of life hacks is just really appealing to geeks,” O’Brien continues, “because it's an expression of this huge hope that you can actually hack life in this way, that you might make it a bit more bearable without having to swallow or understand the whole thing.”

O’Brien explains how these newly dubbed ‘life hacks’ expand to the meta: “The hacks that work for geeks end up being useful for a lot of other people who aren't in that subculture at all.”

You will never need a ruler to estimate again.

kpberry , pxfuel Report

Although it started its early years as perhaps a geeky term, it’s expanded to become commonplace online and has now been included in the dictionary too. It’s a fun expression that makes sense for the internet generation and it sounds better than “general life productivity tips”.

In essence, that’s what they are: productivity tips for life. So, they can help you get better at pretty much anything. For example, building confidence in social situations, learning how to save money, or just general life skills.

And learning such life skills will last a lifetime. Staying organized is just one way of thinking about it. In fact, a paper was published on the benefits of being organized for students, and how it reflects on their grades. 

In short, those students who learned how to organize themselves and their work, ended up with better grades and a more positive outcome overall. Respectively, those who were less organized had results that were quite the opposite.

Preventing procrastination is also one of the top themes that we see in our list of life hacks. According to one study, approximately 80% of college students consider themselves procrastinators. At least the first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one.

So, take heed students, there’s plenty of life hacks here to help you get started on that paper you've been putting off. Or maybe it’s some cleaning tips that are needed—we all know how bad student dorms can get when you’re sharing with half-a-dozen other people.

Bored Panda spoke to Graham Allcott, founder of Think Productive. Graham is an author, speaker and podcaster, who encourages everyone to do their best work. I asked Graham what makes people procrastinate so often. He explains it brilliantly: "I use an acronym to diagnose where procrastination comes from: D.U.S.T. – so is the thing difficult, undefined, scary or tedious."

ADVERTISEMENT

"Usually procrastination occurs because the survival part of our brain, the amygdalla, or ‘lizard brain’, is very good at steering us towards avoiding stuff that we’re scared of or don’t want to do. So it’s important to try and understand what the root cause is."

He continues with how we can avoid each of the points on his D.U.S.T. metaphor. David said, "If something is difficult, it’s about replacing that item on our to-do list with the training or advice we need to overcome the difficulty."

"If it’s undefined, we need to break the task or project down into tangible next steps and endpoints so that it’s clearer. If it’s scary, we need to look at how we can use things like deadlines or accountability, and if it’s tedious, we need to find a way to make it more enjoyable (like allowing yourself to watch some Netflix while you file your expense receipts)."

Learning new habits such as these life hacks can take some brain reprogramming, of sorts. Once you get into them, though, they’re hugely beneficial. I remembered James Clear’s advice from his book Atomic Habits.

In the book, James calls habits: “the compound interest of self-improvement”. He explains by saying, “They don't seem like much on any given day, but over the months and years their effects can accumulate to an incredible degree.”

Graham Allcott also explained further about our habits. I asked him why we get stuck in our routines, even if there's better way to complete them. Graham answered, "Habits, by their nature, are ‘effortless’, meaning we don’t have to think too much and act mostly on a kind of autopilot, which is a convenient and sometimes essential way of dealing with the pace and complexity of work."

"It takes time and effort to think about the processes of work at the same time as the content of our work," Graham continued, "so either if we’re feeling lazy or we’re just dealing with a fast paced environment, we tend to avoid thinking about the processes of work and just focus on getting through the day with the least effort."

I used to have my computer set up to start playing a specific iTunes playlist on the stereo at a certain time. The playlist was exactly as long as I had in the morning and went from chill songs to more energetic. Throughout my morning routine, I could always tell how I was doing on time by the currently playing song.

30 Useful Life Hacks That Are Worth Noting If I spend time looking for something, as soon as I find it and finish using it I put it back the FIRST place I looked for it.

snarfit , Andrea Piacquadio Report

Graham gives us more insights into productivity and asks us to rethink what we know about it. Graham said, "The main thing when it comes to productivity is to abandon the idea of time management altogether." He believes that: "What really matters is ‘attention management’—this is about recognizing the times in your day and in your week where your mind is at its most focussed and applying those hours of attention to the hardest thing on your list. Conversely, you can save up the easy tasks for when your brain is fried at the end of a day or week."

Graham continues, "The best way to approach this is to keep a diary for a week or so and really understand your own peaks and troughs in terms of energy, and then keep tasks on your to-do list based on the varying levels of energy needed to complete them. So, for example, my to-do list has three separate categories: ‘normal’ tasks, ‘deep-thinking/high attention’ tasks, and ‘mindless’ tasks."

Ha. First time in New York city with 3 friends we went to a concert. We took a picture of the hotel so we remembered where it was - this was just before google maps and apple maps were a big thing, and we had flip phones with garbage cameras. Then we somehow got separated at the concert. 3 of us reunited by the end of it (there were thoooooousands of people on Randall Island for Rock the Bells), and we waited for a long time for the 4th to show up. Turns out he got so drunk he wanted to go back to the hotel, so he left, got in a cab, and they asked where he was going, looked at his phone (drunk I remind you) and said "Chinatown" He gets there, gets out, and cannot find the hotel anywhere. He finally found us at like 4am after sobering up a bit and realizing it was just a chinese restaurant next to our hotel, we weren't actually staying in china town. We all thought he was a goner, since he wasn't answering his phone. My point is, make sure you get enough detail in the photo to remember exactly where you want to go or you may be going on an adventure

I found an even simpler method a few years ago. When you get to the end of the aisle you parked in, or to the door of the store you're going into or whatever, just glance over your shoulder at your car. Just seeing what I'll see on my way back does the trick for me.

I lost the car in the ECOT car park. We arrived at 9 a.m., when t was nearly empty and parked beside a white Ford Discovery. In the early afternoon, I went out to the car to dump some stuff that we had bought and couldn't find the damned thing – I never saw so many SUVs in my *life*. I eventually found our white Corolla rental, hiding between two huge SUVs and, as I walked away, noticed that the lanes were numbered. Problem solved. I should have noticed it earlier, but, hey, it was our first time at EPCOT and we were in a hurry to get inside.

The second time in my 53 years I got a professional massage (earlier this summer), when I left the salon, I realized I did not know how to get back to my car. I had parked it and google was being weird and I had had to wander around a maze of streets and sidewalks in this shopping complex to find the salon. I walked around for at least 15 minutes, getting more and more stressed before I found it. Completely undid the relaxation I had getting the massage. (It wasn't that relaxing to begin with. I'm autistic. The therapist spent some of the time telling me why everyone is autistic and it's no big deal. She said autistic people are all just introverts and everyone is "on the spectrum".)

Here's a little trick that helped me learn 10-finger-typing really well:

When you read an article in your browser, activate the search function (ctrl+f) and just start typing the text you are reading. With firefox or chrome, the text you are typing will simultaneously get highlighted.

Just read the highlighted text. You'll want to know what comes next so you'll type as fast as possible. You want to read the text fluently, so you'll type blindly and so on. Worked 100 times better than all these boring training programs.
