Hey Pandas, What’s A Life Hack You Think Everyone Should Know? (Closed)

Share a hack, you've discovered on your own and realized is a life hack.

When cleaning the blades on your ceiling fan:
Spray with your preferred cleaning product and then take an old pillow case (the jersey knit t-shirt material ones work best) and slide it over the fan blade. Put your hands on the outside of the pillow case, one on top of the fan blade, on on the bottom., holding the pillow case closed. Then simply slide the pillow case slowly off the fan blade. The pillow case will catch all of the dust and dirt inside so it is not flying around your house.
Take thd pillow case outside, turn it inside out amd shake it out, then wash it (inside out) with your cleaning rags to be used again next time.

Buy rubber bands, they are very useful. You can use them to make a toothpaste holder by wrapping them around a cup. They're great for storing food, I use them to keep pancake mix closed and wrapping blocks of cheese back up. Wrap them around hangers to prevent clothes from slipping. There are dozens of ways you can use them.

You can put a rubber band on one side of a door k**b and wrap it around the door to the other side and hook it on the oposite side of the k**b so the band holds the door latch in. It will keep the door from latching closed. Useful if you have toddlers who lock themselves in rooms because they can't open doors yet but like to shut them.

If your hands are shaking, clench your fists as tight as you can for a minute and when you unfurl them- your hands should now be steadier.

If someone describes themselves as a "nice person" they're usually not all that nice.

If a workplace describes themselves as being one big family they will f**k you up.

The trunk box. Keep a cardboard box in your car trunk for placing smaller items or groceries into. This will keep them from falling all over the place while you’re driving. The best boxes for this are office paper boxes with the removable lid. Put the lid on the bottom of the box for added support and durability.

It's more common than you think for people to do it

Never pass on an opportunity to pee when you're traveling. Museum? Use the bathroom. Cafe? Use the bathroom. Restaurant? Use the bathroom. It doesn't matter that you don't feel like you have to. Always use the bathroom before leaving. Drink small amounts of water regularly and don't wait until you're really thirsty, because feeling thirsty will make you chug down half a bottle of water and run like a headless chicken looking for a toilet within 30 minutes.
Excellent bladder management makes a HUGE difference when you're a tourist and takes away a lot of stress and frustration.
