People On This Twitter Thread Share Surprisingly Genius Life Hacks That Actually Work, And Here’re 30 Of The Best

"Are we looking for sympathy or solutions?" is how someone told me they address the situation.

this one has helped me a lot. completely agree

I am in my mid 30's and only in the last few years did I finally realize that no one thinks about me nearly as much as I think they're thinking about me. In fact, they're rarely thinking anything. 9/10 the people that DO "care" or have opinions are the very people who you should avoid anyway.

lol i love how this is phrased because people don't think of it like a 'date' and tend to think they're being selfish when they take time for themselves. I'm going to call it that from now one. I have a date this weekend, lol.

The best way to lose a friend is the lend him/her money.

Also add the attachments before the recipients.

This something I definitely need to work on.. Rehearsing for conversations that have never and will never happen

I like this idea! Thank you 😊

So I would eat a snack and then take a nap, and after I wake up, eat a snack and then rake a nap. I'm not sure I would get anything done that week.

mindfulness really helps me.

I can confirm.

You can also regrow garlic, celery, lettuce, and more.

When you've finished sewing the button back on use a dab of clear nail polish on the thread to protect in the future..

This is also great for driving and walking.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. And you can be sure that there is somebody else wants to know also.

I can't only buy one type of socks, because then, even worse than all the trouble of sorting them, is knowing that you have mixed them up and have no way of sorting them. Just because they're all the same style and color doesn't mean they don't want to be with their partners.

Yep I’ve been doing some of that lately and it works

This makes me sad...

That doesn't work if you have body dysphoria or dysmorphia. That REALLY doesn't work in those cases.

Would you believe that there are able body people who will not walk 10 feet to park a cart.

My library life hack (at least in the UK) is you can be a member of more than just your local county library. I have digital accounts with my home county library and three others who have good digital content, one of which is a couple of hundred miles from where I live.

This is also a technique with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It helps you to think about the situation and reduces the chances of reacting irrationally, thus making the situation more manageable.

They needed to proofread their writing sentence here. :p legit advice tho

Not every car has this. My Nissan Altima didn't but my Subaru impreza does

I avoid this by not wearing my plate armor to the beach

lol this just reminds me of mcdonald's back in the 90s early 2000s they used to have shaker salads in a cup and they were delicious. They had a cobb salad with turkey, ham, egg and cheese and this awesome dressing. I miss those salads so much, lol. They were the perfect size and easy to carry around.

I do that. Skip cleaning the kitchen, skip cleaning up the yard... Just joking!

I don’t know about this one, it’s supposed to be a nice thick layer of sunscreen, reapplied every so often, why make it harder than it needs to be? Just put a gob of the stuff on their cheeks or your fingertips and rub it in.

are the keywords KO criteria or entrance criteria?

Also, grab some green and red seedless grapes, skewer them like a kabob and put them in a pan and then pour some prosecco over them. soak for 1 day, then freeze them. Effervescent and tasty little treat without getting you hammered drunk. you can also do this with champagne or even sprite if you prefer no alcohol. Frozen grapes are so delicious.

Idea is good but execution may be problematic.

Do it all the time.

My mum used to make big batches of soup or stew then put portions in freezer bags and lay them flat to freeze. Once frozen she had a plastic record holder in the bottom of her freezer and could stand them in there. Hardly took up any space.

I didn't know this!

True

Keep meat scraps and bones too. Free stock.

Uh, I thought those lobby bathrooms were for for guests checking in. I rather use them at gas stations. Stretch out, walk a min, get a snack or drink. Recharge yourself.

A full dishwasher would have be be very, very, far down on my list of worst things, actually.

I add the word 'house' to all contacts that are repair people like electricians, plumber, exterminator, etc. And as a caregiver I add the the person's name I'm taking care of in the notes of their contacts that I might have in my phone (such as emergency contacts and physicians)

I'll pass. Only works if your period is very light. If you have to use several pads/tampons a day or have to empty your menstrual cup several times a day, period panties won't work, or do you want to change your underwear 5 times a day?

life is problems - living is problem solving

What??? Wow.

or just drink tap water (if you're in a country where you can obviously).

Do I have enough clothes? Or time?

Who knew? 🤔

I'm a note writer ... Rocketbooks have saved a lot not notepads

Plastic Wrap Too

Year old dried blood?

Better yet, leave them in the carton they came in which has the date on it. Taking them out and putting them in the egg rack in the fridge means they don't last anywhere near as long 1-door gets slightly warm every time you open it and 2- eggs are porous so nay nastiness in your fridge makes its way into the egg.

Easier: write on the plastic-ware with the Sharpie. A brief scrub with steel wool will remove the writing. It's also easier because you don't have to worry about the tape falling off in the freezer.

I bought new sheets recently which have a tag sewn into the hem at the head/foot end that say "Head/Foot" which is rather convenient.

I used duct tape to alter a bridesmaid's dress length just before the wedding. Apparently the person who took her alteration measurements quit just after her appointment and the dress wasn't shortened.

all the food, now with condiments with kids stuck in a car.. sounds like a great idea. who does the clean up?

And when most of the meat is gone, the bones go in a crockpot with onions, celery, carrots and water. Eight hours later: chicken broth!

That's the basis for all my meals. Always works.

nope, have tried mayo instead of butter... will not do again! you cannot replace that crisp butter flavor!

So, gatekeep movie tickets? If you don’t want people sitting next to you, then stay home.

Seafood leftovers always go in the freezer until bin day

You will need to wash the comforter more often.

If you have money, you're less stressed. Who would've known

Don’t put warm things in the fridge. Put them in ice water to stop cooking, THEN put them in the fridge.

Saying this to someone with both chronic insomnia and ADHD is like saying to a depressed person, "Just cheer up."

I just read about this somewhere.. here?... with a comment from someone using elmers wood glue to hold it down and would wash out.. I'm not going nuts. right? =P

Enjoy!

Yeah, I'd be too dead to be in a bad mood anymore.
