“Work smarter, not harder” is a fantastic motto. Anything that will help you save time and energy will make your life a little easier (or even a lot easier). Whether that’s finding a shortcut in your day-to-day routine or solving a problem in a way you’d never thought of, it’s always a joy finding a hidden productivity secret like this.
Humans have always shared their smart solutions with each other, but nowadays, these have been rebranded as “life hacks”. Not everything filed under this moniker is useful, however. But thankfully, Bored Panda is here to help.
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!

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.
Teach them your number asap. If lost; shout a description of your child so others can help. Don't give them shirts with their name on it, people with bad intentions can fake knowing them.
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.”
Do the dishes whilst cooking instead of waiting around. Leaves the majority of the dishes done by the time your food is cooked.
“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.”
Never go grocery shopping when you're hungry.
And prepare a list! We do this for years and jave zero food waste since
Measure your hand from your fingertips to palm and memorize it. Now you can judge the size of anything without a ruler. I've used this my whole life to estimate distances of all kinds of things. Also pick a finger that is pretty close to 1cm or a joint close to 1 inch and remember which is which. You will never need a ruler to estimate again.
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.
Back when I was 18-26, I always had one full bag packed in my car. It generally had clean underwear, a t-shirt or two, jeans, shorts, flops, and toothbrush/deodorant. I can't tell you how many times I'd just meet up with some friends and next thing you know it was 2AM and I needed a place to sleep. Having everything with me was awesome.
Always be ten minutes early to everything, no matter what; once it's a habit, you'll never stress about being late again. If something unexpected happens in transit, you're on time. Bam!
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.
Putting my clothes in my closet with the hangers reversed once a year. As I pull clothes out, I reverse the hanger. Every year I give away any clothes that I never took out.
Not for this year though... I just wore my pajamas and sweatpants but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need my clothes for next year! :D
Here is a lifehack for all of the students out there. If you are charged with writing a lengthy research paper, find one very solid source that directly pertains to your thesis, and then you can use that source's bibliography to back into locating new sources.
When you need to remember to bring something with you, put your car keys on it the night before.
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.
Make lunch for work the night before.
Groceries are way cheaper than eating out every day - f**k anyone who thinks you're lame because you don't have a Timmyho bagel or BK for lunch everyday. I'm saving 4-5$ per meal.
Not making lunch the morning makes the morning that much smoother.
Invest in a good bed, you use the thing a third of your life! All the good stuff happens there. Sleep after a long day's work, snu-snu with the missus, and if you're like me, 90% of Sunday.
And if you spend a lot of time sitting at a desk, invest in a good chair with proper back support.
Never go to bed with a messy kitchen/dirty dishes. Waking up to a clean kitchen feels good and it makes making breakfast a lot easier in the morning when you're 1/2 asleep.
Also do that when you have a party at your house. Clean everything no matter how tired you are. Next morning when you wake up, the place will be clean and you can just relax instead of having to do all the cleaning :)
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."
"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)."
Take notes during meetings, even if it seems like something simple you will remember later. After 10 more simple things get mentioned, you start forgetting them.
And take notes if you go to the doctor! Even if you don't understand what they're saying you can look things up later.
Cut negative people out of your life.
Cut people out of your life who only contact you when they want you to do something for them.
That’s difficult when it’s your family, and the only way you can see your nieces and nephews is to keep them onside.
To talk to people all you have to do is just ask questions. just let them talk.
Good tip! But this might be tiring if it's only one sided. A good balance is the thing! And a willingness to share a bit about yourself too. ;) But yeah, most people like talking, it seems.
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.
this just reminded me of getting ready in high school. I'd put on an album and had one side to get it together.
Putting socks on before pants. Socks are like pant lubricants. Believe it.
Life hack? That's just a proper way of putting socks on.
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.
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."
If there's something I need to do but am procrastinating, I find something else I also need to do that's even more of a chore. I can then put off doing the second thing by doing the first.
I use my refrigerator as a giant dry erase board. Rubbing alcohol can be used to remove permanent marker if you use the wrong pen.
When you park at a huge parking lot, take a photo of the nearest parking location sign with your cellphone camera. That way, you won't forget that you parked at H43 near the East exit and waste 30 minutes trying to find your car.
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
aaand, don't get so drunk that you can't think straight

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.
Wonderful tip! I am forever forgetting where I parked. I'll try this. Thanks!

Also, Apple maps now remembers where you last parked your car. Just type in, "parked car," and, boom, you'll see where to walk.
Me and my dad would always make up something to remember it. Like if we parked at H2, when we were leaving the car, he would say "remember when we try to find our car later, look for the 2 horses".
This is especially helpful with airport parking. Take pictures of the whole trail if you have to.
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".)
Also parking attendants will find out where you car is just by looking at the picture. Brilliant time saver in an unfamiliar area
Back before camera phones we always got lost at the huge parking garage at King's Plaza in Brooklyn. We always had to walk up and down all the levels, just like that Seinfeld episode.
When i was in Las Vegas, my dad parked the car in a huge car park building and then we spent an hour looking for it.
I just hit the lock button on my remote. A little noise amd flashing lights.
Preplanning is a great idea. I also tell people I’m with, that the first person to say they need to leave sets the time we leave. I don’t want people I’m with to be miserable just because they are afraid to say they want to leave. No judgement. No need to explain or apologize.
If there's something big I want to get done, I tell all my friends I'm going to do it. The fear of looking like an ass helps keep me motivated.
I dont know about this. I often dont tell things to people until I have done them because you often get all kinds of criticism. Like I want to buy a cheap car because I am too ill to walk? My father will be angry. I do not want to buy it becausw its a lot of money? My father will be angry.
Try to put yourself in as many socially awkward situations as possible. You will be desensitized to it which makes you more outgoing.
Place alarm clock across the room, so you have to get up to turn it off. Especially if you know you're going to have trouble getting up in the morning.
I'm naturally lazy, so I work out first thing in the morning. It wakes me up and then it's over and done with and I don't have to care about it for the rest of the day. I can be lazy during/after work and not feel guilty.
When you wake up in the middle of the night to do something, cover one eye with your hand and leave it there until you return to darkness. The eye that was covered will have retained its ability to see well in the dark so you will not run into the dresser on your way back to bed.
While pre-gaming or preparing for a night out, ensure that there is at least a pint of fresh water next your bed. You are unlikely to think of this when you get in and it will help you immensely in the night/morning
Better use a bottle or at least a pitcher with a lid. The water will not be as stale. Additionally it can help a lot when you have a large glass of water before you go to bed.
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.
Ugh. I took typing in high school and eventually worked up to 80wpm. My gaming geek son (who is 33 yrs old) never took a class, types 115wpm using FOUR FINGERS(2 index fingers, both thumbs.) and it sounds like a litter of kittens running back and forth on the keyboard.
Don't use the dryer on anything you don't want worn out prematurely, use a clothes rack.
I have had some of my clothes for like 20 years, and they always go in the dryer. Don't prematurely underestimate the quality of your favourite hoodie.
Applying an ice cube to a zit will reduce swelling and redness.
Applying pressure to a zit will account for a great video on youtube.
Upon waking, drink at least 500ml of water. You are most dehydrated after your done sleeping and it immediately starts your metabolism/bowel movements.
Get an annual physical. A lot of generally healthy people overlook this, particularly if health insurance is an issue, but if you can at all afford it, do it. Small things like a chemical or hormone imbalance that you may not directly notice can have a big impact on your overall quality of life, and an annual check-up is great for prevention.
If you have chest congestion, drum on your chest lightly but rapidly. Same thing goes for a dry or gooey throat; drum lightly but rapidly on your windpipe. Just drum for ~30s and then wait a minute or two for it to kick in. The effect will last 5-10 minutes before you start getting the feeling again. Repeat until you feel better.
Explanation : If you perturb the cells lining your airways, they will release ATP. ATP is rapidly broken down into adenosine in the airways. There is a receptor on the cells lining your airways that will start a cascade that pumps water into the airway when hit with adenosine. This water will be pumped up under thick mucus and help break it up.
I built a treadmill desk. It keeps me moving while I work and study. I go from 1-2.5 mph at a time, depending on what I'm doing. It's really helping my weight loss.
"No" is in the pocket. Interpretation: If you don't ask for something you have already received the answer "no." If you ask, you have a chance at getting "yes." Best advice I've ever received. I'm much more outgoing and willing to approach situations I would normally be nervous of dealing with.
Never owe money on a car and never carry a Credit Card balance. It makes my life way easier and it is my way of saying F**k You to the debt ecouraging system we live in.
This is genuinely impossible for some people. Most every one I know doesn’t have near enough money lying around to buy a new/newer car outright. They don’t have the choice of not having a car loan. Same thing with credit cards for some people.
Celebrate my successes. I don't have a lot of self-discipline, so when I do actually exert some, I try to reward myself to encourage me to do it more.
If you need to pack clothes, sleeping bags, duvets or similar, put them in a big plastic bag, and use a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out. You are using the whole atmosphere to pack your duvet densely.
Squeezing your left thumb greatly reduces your gag reflex.
The caffeine nap: caffeine takes ~15-20 minutes to kick in. If you are feeling really tired, drink a cup of coffee and then take a light, 15-20 minute nap. You will wake up incredibly refreshed and awake.
When you are given an assignment, try to do at least half an hour of that assignment the same day. Helps to know what's required so you'll know how long it'll take and it's already started, so it's more motivating to pick it up again.
Boss:" Here, this should have been done yesterday, but I forgot. Make sure it's ready by 3PM and I don't care that you didn't have lunch yet."
On the ends of every box of aluminum foil there are tabs to push in that keep the roll from popping out; same for cling film.
You're welcome.
Put a scented dryer sheet in the bottom of your garbage cans and change them every time you replace your garbage bags. Your garbage can will smell a lot nicer for a lot longer.
In the morning I practically jump right out of bed, go and wash my face with cold water. Then I jump back into bed and listen to music while I'm waking up. I've found this a lot easier than just lying there waiting to wake up naturally. I can just hop out of bed right away, knowing that I'll be back in just a minute, and then the water wakes me right up. Before I used to do this I'd just lay there like a sloth, moaning in my head about how tired I am etc. I've found this trick to be a good happy-medium.
I do all my daily chores at once and super fast to save time. So, while I'm heating up food in the microwave I scoop out the litter box. When I'm done eating I let my dishes soak and vacuum my room.
I keep a cot, pillow and blanket in my trunk--at all times. I'm often on the road and I've used this more than I can remember. I hate sleeping on the floor. This weekend I plan on going a friends house and there is going to be several people there all drinking. I assume I will not get a bedroom to sleep in, so I will pull my trusty cot out of my trunk. On Saturday morning, I will not wake up cold on the floor with my back hurting.
I set up automatic bill payment for everything. I don't remember precisely when those payments will go out. The fear of a bounced check or declined payment keeps me from getting too close to a zero balance.
This. I honestly can't understand people who don't do this with recurring bills.
I've taught myself to laugh at most everything. It sucks sometimes when you're in a fight with somebody because they just get more pissed. Other than that it really helps with things that would otherwise depress/frustrate you or make you mad.
Unless you're in an interrogation "Did you kill your partner, Chelsea?" "hahahahaha"
Pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth cures brainfreeze
But what if one's brain is frozen to the point where it doesn't occur to you to do this?
Put a pen and a small block of paper in your jacket. Too often you have to write something down, can't, and then forget.
Raising your arm high above your head will stop a bloody nose pretty instantly.
For me, it just made the blood run backwards down my throat, even worse!
Buy some quality used gym equipment on craigslist and save both your gym membership fees, and the time getting to/from the gym.
You need space for all this stuff and at least for me, I did not work - lack of motivation.
After a shower, if you need a fogless mirror, just point a hairdryer at the glass for a few seconds.
Warm glass -> evaporated droplets -> clear mirror.
I'm proud to say I figured this one out by myself.
Your sink should rarely have dirty dishes in it; it's much faster to clean one meal's worth of dishes 5 times than 5 meals' worth of dishes 1 time.
If you're exercising and don't want to tuck your key in your shoe or pocket, simply loop your headphones through it!
Before grocery shopping I take pictures with my phone of the refrigerator and food cupboards- so I can tell what it is I am out of.
Keep in mind whenever you hate you are simply express deep love in a different way. For example I hate being around closed minded people because I love when people broaden their views and understand more of themselves and their environment. It has made my life much more enjoyable and when I see it this way I just want to educate people as opposed to avoiding them.
I hate being around anti vaxxers because I love it when people don’t die. Did I do this right?
Out clubbing or bar hopping and don't want to wait in line to get in the club/bar... Tell the bouncer you forgot to close your tab. Really helps when you need to pee too.
"How to cheat others because you're somehow special and don't need to wait like those peasants". No thanks. I'm better than that.
If you are trying to start running a good way to stay entertained is to download audiobooks and listen to them meanwhile. Music is nice but after a while I get bored of running (specially in the city where it’s often a loop in the park). Listening to a story really helped me to find running more positive.
And if you run on a threadmill at home you can also try to have it near a screen tabled, laptop…) so you can watch your favourite series at the same time. It really makes time pass faster so it’s less difficult to run.

As someone who suffers with IBS, I keep a carrier bag, toilet paper and a change of underwear in the car, just in case I get an attack when driving and can't get to a toilet.
If you have pets/long hair/a bad vacuum, use a squeegee (thing to clean windows with that has a rubber edge) on the carpet. Find the right direction and go crazy. The amount of hair and fur and whatnot that can be hidden is incredible. Then take that bad vacuum and watch it work much better. (This worked with a special Rowenta vacuum for animal hair/fur). Oh, and take a shower after that.
You can now get a tool called a Lilly brush - same concept but more durable than a squeegee. Thicker rubber and works wonders, we looooove it! Have to do the whole house once a week with Maine Coons

I have cats. Most hacks don't work when you have furry demons living with you. They'll steal those keys I left out so I'd remember to take an item with me when I leave. They'll tump over any water left out. Niko steals shinies and Salem knocks stuff over while making direct eye contact. Rayna and Poppy are so fat they destroy stuff just by walking past. Ugh. Cats. So perfectly imperfect.
If you begin choking, raise your arms over your head. Whatever is causing you to choke will clear itself really quickly. Especially if you're alone.
"LIFE HACK" is just a buzzword for lists of irritating stuff we already knew.
Well, speak for yourself... ooh I guess that's what you're doing. If everyone had heard of these ideas before, the pandas wouldn't be so interested or excited, now would they?

I keep my keys, wallet, work badge, and stuff that goes in my pockets in the same box every day. I don't understand how people lose their keys or wallet, etc. Try to keep it in the same, correct spot every day and you are far less likely to lose it. And when I put the items in my pockets, I try to keep the same pocket order every day: keys on the left, phone on the right, wallet in the back.
yeah, I do the same. I invested time in installing a key ring holder by my door. You're right that a designated spot is great for not losing important things like that.
Load More Replies... Getting ready for work the night before is a life hack? I thought it was common sense.
Drinking a good amount of water before going to sleep + eating a huge portion high in carbs and fat if you are drunk. When I go for a night out and know I will drink, I will make sure to have enough water, juice and fruits and food high in carbs, fat and proteins at home. I might have less strengh to go crocery shopping and be very hungry and thirsty in the night and the next morning.... that way my body will process the alcohol way better and I will be less hungover overall and in a better mood. Also inbetween drinks of alcohol have water and some coke to avoid feeling nausea or get a headache (might be common sense though) and enjoy the night more.
So, they look like your friend, but you ask them are they Ken or Nancy?
