"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks Last week I felt exhausted. I got home on Friday at around 6:30 p.m. and went straight to bed.

I did a few things over the weekend but mostly slept - I got up late, took naps and went to bed early.

I can’t tell you how differently things have felt this week. I am more focused at work and make less of an effort to get things done. I feel more patient, more lenient, less irritable. Everything feels less catastrophic.

Last night I went to yoga and felt I had the best class I’d had in months - I felt I was breathing rather than pushing myself through something too difficult.

You want a clever life hack? Go to bed.

"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks There’s a cartoon I watched as a kid where the hero gets thrown in jail high up in a tower. There’s an old man there who has been in the jail all his life. The hero demands to be let out and the gate opens. The hero walks out. The old man looks at the open door and then turns to the audience and mutters: “You mean all I had to do was ask?”

I laughed at this when I was a kid but reflecting on my life, I’ve had countless moments where I was that old man. A crush of three years who I never talked to, questions in meetings that I never voiced and promotions that I never pushed for.

Over the last five years, I’ve experimented with doing what the hero in the tower did and ask for what I want. And in many cases, just like in the cartoon, the door really opened. This is from little things like requesting no olives in my salad to larger demands like having 20% time at work to pursue self directed initiatives.

As long as you’re sincere and reasonably competent, you will be amazed how far simply asking for things will take you.

"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks About a week ago, my mother was out of town. So, my father and I decided to go to a restaurant because both of us suck at cooking.

Over there, I ordered a Masala dosa off the menu. After a 20 min long video call with my mother, the food arrived.

I had only eaten a couple of bites before I found a hair strand in the Sambhar. Pretty unappetizing.

I told my father and was about to call the waiter to change the food but my father actually had a fool proof plan.

He suggested me to add a lot of salt in the sambhar and then call the waiter so that I could ensure the food was actually changed and it wasn't just the hair that was removed.

I did the same and was very excited for the sambhar to be back. So was my father. We waited for a little while and then the waiter served the sambhar. Voila! It was saltier than ever. Plan successful. I told my father and he was smiling like a child and at the same time he was really proud.

Not gonna lie I was amazed as hell.

Later we called the waiter and told him the entire story. He got really defensive but all that's unnecessary. What really matters is the life hack you learnt today.

No telling where the hair originally got in the food. Maybe it was in the big pot of sambhar so even if they dumped out your bowl and poured a new one, it still may have had a hair in it originally.

"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks About 15 years ago I’m visiting my mother’s cousin after not seeing him for a long time.

A few hours into our meeting he stares at me and says “Asim son… why do you always smile at me when I look at you?”

Do I? I don’t know. And I tell him that.

I soon realise that I do smile a lot, and several years later I come to the view that it has played a key role in achieving the success I have attained at work and in business.

Smiling breaks down barriers, it makes tense situations into more comfortable ones, it makes you more attractive, it gives a sense of energy, it makes people want to be around you, it makes you more likeable, it makes people feel that you want to be around them, it makes people trust you.

Smiling is very powerful, massively underestimated.

And I semi-consciously knew it all along. Which is why I did it.

It also makes everyone happier, including you.

Smile more…

Forget about oven mitts. Get a pair of welding gloves!

Wait, hear me out.

My mom always complained about her oven mitts. They were either too thin, making prolonged handling of hot dishes difficult. Or they were too thick, making them clumsy. For some reason, the fabric would quickly deteriorate, even when using non-budget pairs. And more often than not, they were too short — she’d often get burns on her forearms when reaching inside a hot oven, oven mitts only protect your hands.

However, one day she found a pair of welding gloves lying around, and got the genius idea to use them in the kitchen.

These things are:

Very robust, literally industrial strength. No fear of them falling apart.
Heat-proof up to hundreds of degrees Celsius
Made of rough fabric, and have fingers, making handling of various dishes very simple. No slipping and dropping your lasagne ever again!
Quite long, offering total protection not only for your hands, but your wrists and forearms too. No need to worry about touching the edge of a blazing hot oven when reaching into it.
Are generally quite cheap, $20 bucks or so. Not much difference to “premium” (but still garbage) oven mitts.
I recently received a pair from her as a birthday gift. I tossed my oven mitts immediately. From then on, it’s welding gloves all the way.

Disclaimer: I was made aware that some gloves may contain fire retardant chemicals, which may be dangerous when ingested. Keep this in mind and check the manual / detailed information before using a pair.

"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks Golden spending rule: If you can’t afford two of it, you can’t afford it.
When you’re thinking about buying something you don’t necessarily need, imagine the item in one hand and the cash in the other. Which one would you take?
If you have trouble choosing, flip a coin. While you're waiting to get the result, your mind automatically starts to wish for what it wants. Then you can choose easily.
Honey does not go bad; if it has gone solid it has just crystallized and can become liquid again with just a little heat.
If you put something down temporarily, say out loud "I've put the screwdriver by the microwave" or whatever.
Read the three and four star reviews for the most reliable information on Amazon items.
When moving house, always set up your bedroom/ make the bed first so when you’re exhausted and just had enough you can fall into bed. Nothing worse than being exhausted and having to make the bed before getting into it.
If there's a jar or container you can't open, run the lid under hot water for about 30sec. Dry it so you can get a good grip, then open. It really works.
Secretaries, tech support, and janitors are the true power in an office. Make friends with them and you’ll be able to get anything you need!
When a friend is upset, ask him one simple question before saying anything else: “Do you want to talk about it or do you want to distract from it? ” It is important to know when to stop arguing with people, and simply let them be wrong.
If someone offers you something you want, take it. Don't decline every kind of offer out of politeness.

You received your order from an e-commerce site.

You are excited to remove the packaging.

You just remembered an incident that happened to your neighbour, when a shopping site delivered a soap bar instead of mobile phone in the box.

You are now afraid, what if same happens to you?

What can you do at this point of time-

Sit back relax and put your camera or mobile phone camera on work.

Record a video while unboxing your product, just like those youtube gadget reviewers do.

Now, if something wrong happens, you will have a valid proof from your side.

This is the best thing a person can do to protect himselves from online shopping fraud.

The human appendage signal.

I’m in tight traffic, and nobody will let me in to change lanes. They ignore my blinking turn signal. So I open the window and stick out my arm. Invariably, the car in the next lane slows and makes a spot for me to move into.

I think the human appendage signal turns car into a person. It is no longer a blinking car that wants to change lanes, but a human. That triggers empathy and politeness.

This hack can be used elsewhere. The gay liberation movement made its greatest strides when gays came out of the closet, and people realized that they knew such people. They were no longer abstractions, but people, friends, and it created a phase transition.

Make sure others always see you as a person, not as a symbol or as a professional or as a thing.

Waiting !!!

Waiting at least 24 hours before making a big decision that will likely determine the course of your life.

ot a job offer? Don't make a decision yet. Wait for 24 hours and think over it. Don't be impulsive! This is a big deal choice.

Got fired? Wait for 24 hours and think what happened and what is your next best step. Don't rush to call the next recruiter that pops up on your job search.

Are you upset at your family because of a big disagreement? Don't tell them immediately that they are clueless. Wait for at least 24 hours and think about it: Is it really worth it to deteriorate life’s most important relationship?

Are you almost going to yell at your incompetent coworker? Don't do it yet! Wait for 24 hours before damaging your relationship with your colleague. Think it over and devise a plan on how to discuss things over.

My point is that a lot of times in our lives we are driven by our impulses and that we make decisions driven by a moment’s emotion. Countless regrets follow because of impulsivity, life changes not for the better , relationships are broken, misery and frustration can conquer your psychological well-being.

So please wait for a while before you fight with your family, wait for a while before you yell at your colleague, wait for a while before immediately committing to that job offer.

While thinking things by waiting doesn't necessarily mean that your life choices and outcomes will be the best, at least you tried and considered all of the possibilities. You deeply and genuinely thought about whatever major issues life has thrown at you, and you are sure there will be no regrets over the coming decision. So spare yourself some hardship, regret, tears, and insecurity by waiting. You can do it: you can wait!!

Hope this helps.

Or improve communication and/or honesty skills 😉 I know how hard it can be to end a call. But I have all the right in the world to spend my time as I prefer. And for me it feels much better to be honest than to lie in someone's face. Especially close or loved ones. In my experience they will understand my reasons for not wanting to speak and that this doesn't mean a general rejection.

"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks Today I am going to tell you something really useful that will save you a lot of confusion at times.

Everyone use earphones or headphones, right? Well, this device comes in two varieties - with microphone and without microphone and a lot of you might have faced problems in the past in finding whether it has mic or not. Not anymore as it is really easy to find that out.

Have you ever closely observed the audio jack of different earphones? If you have, then you might know that some earphones have two strips and some have three. Something like this.

There is a reason for this, obviously.

Now you understand? The third strip is for the microphone itself.

So, in future, if you want to check whether an earphone has mic or not, just look at the number of strips on its audio jack. If it is two, it doesn’t support mic and if it is three, then it does.

Happy reading!!

So, this is not the most clever life hack, but is indeed helpful at times you're unable to tolerate.

It happens many times at work or when with friends. You are sitting next to a friend or any person at your work place and you know that you will have to sit with him for a longer period of time and if their mouth stinks, then what?

They are not going to stop talking to you. If your tolerance limits have reached, then you can use a small hack that I always use.

Just keep a mints in your pocket. When you feel your neighbour is stinking. Just open the mint pack and pop one in your own mouth. It is very likely that your neighbour will ask for one and if he or she doesn't ask you can offer one.

You ate first and then offered, hence they would not feel bad and the problem will be solved.

On the rare occasion that you are under attack by a moose — those creatures are huge! — try to find an opportunity to get behind a tree. Moose have a blind spot in their peripheral vision, they will lose you, and you can escape easier.

Setting a timer for 10 minutes every time you walk through the front door to clean/tidy. Stops it building up and goes really quick so doesn’t feel like a chore.

Unless you have kids! Then it's a mad rush to get everyone inside and wrangle them out of shoes and coats before someone has to wee. Then it's snack time. Then it's time to cook the dinner before stories and bed time. Then you collapse on the sofa in a heap to get your breath back for a moment before going to do some paid work.

Apply a thin film of oil to the surface of a plate. You can trap all the nearby mosquitoes just by swaying the plate, and this works like a charm.

"Park In Front Of A Bank": 30 People Share Their Best Life Hacks My friend saved his own number on his WhatsApp and had conversations with himself..

He told 'it somehow helped to cure the depression and hollowness he felt inside'. Being intelligent and introvert, he found this way to communicate with himself honestly time to time. He said, 'we know the answers most of the time, we just need a medium to communicate it.’

I think my Friend is right..

Absolutely does not work for me. I often wake up in a really uncomfortable position that would make it impossible to get to sleep.

If in an emergency you need to get through a locked door, kick hard right next to the handle, near the lock, and avoid using your shoulders or back. The lock will break more easily.

If you don't have a dryer and need to dry your clothes quickly, here's what you can do. Place your wet clothing on a dry towel. Roll the towel with the garment inside. Pick it up, and twist it as tightly as possible to squeeze out the excess water. After you've drained .the excess water, hang your garment on a hanger to fully dry

Eat straight from the pot you cook in. Saves an extra dish to wash. 
Place new trash bags under the current one being used. That way, when you’re taking out the trash the refills will be within arm’s reach.
Learn to see the good in others, especially YOURSELF!
