Everyone loves a good life hack, right? Especially when you can finally make your life a little bit easier by simply using them. You may save some time, materials and more easily deal with things that constantly make you nervous. For example, I believe quite a few of us have struggled with the garlic smell on our hands after cooking a meal. Well, apparently touching stainless steel can remove it easily. Or did you know an easier way to remove gum from the carpet? Basically, you can put a bag filled with ice cubes on top of the gum and wait for approximately thirty minutes. Once the gum is solid, break it apart and extract it from the carpet.

Well, one Reddit user recently posed a question asking folks online to share a life hack that's so simple yet so effective that it shocks them that more people don't know about it. So scroll through them, upvote your favorites and share your easy life hacks below!

35 Life Hacks That Are So Simple Yet So Effective That More People Should Be Aware Of From working technical support for longer than I dare think about, most angry customers just want to be heard. Let them have their rant, do active listening, and make notes about what they're saying. They will eventually run out of steam. Then, read back everything they talked about and go through it step by step. Works almost every time, and often they are very thankful by the end of the call.

35 Life Hacks That Are So Simple Yet So Effective That More People Should Be Aware Of My grandmother always said that if you feel terrible, get out of bed, take a shower, do your hair and put on clothes, down to your shoes, and have a good meal. Either this will fix it or you're dressed and fed and in a better place to deal with the problem.

She was right.

35 Life Hacks That Are So Simple Yet So Effective That More People Should Be Aware Of If you want a comfortable pair of high heels, invest in a pair of dance heels.

Lots of beautiful designs and colors, designed to be flexible and comfortable. Worth every penny.

Just make sure they’re not felt-soled if you plan on wearing them outdoors. A good quality pair from a company like Repetto are worth getting rubber-soled if they aren’t already.

Your feet will thank you.

ETA: So glad some of you found this helpful. My mother has permanent foot deformation from wearing heels daily since 1977 and my discovery of wearing dance heels was born out of my desire to look elegant but avoid pain and disfigurement!

I’m going to give two tips.

1- “no.” Is a full sentence and the only needed response to many requests or questions. Stop feeling the need explain yourself. Occasionally I reply with no thank you, and end the conversation. Also effective.

2- I love a clean and tidy house but can be a procrastinator. When it’s time to get things done writhe house, I set my timer for one hour and clean the whole time. You’d be surprised how much you will get done in one single hour!

The heat dissolves the protein that makes the mosquito bite itch.

One of the reasons you get tired in the car is not from lack of sleep but from too much co2 in the car. You ever been so tired driving home and when you get home you’re no longer tired. It’s because of lack of oxygen in the car. Especially if you have passengers in the car.

Recirculating can also lead to misting up on damp conditions. Really I'd only ever use it when it's very smelly outside or very hot where it uses less power to keep the air cool than to re-cool it coming from outside all the time. But yeah, open a window occasionally if you are, just to let some fresh air in.

35 Life Hacks That Are So Simple Yet So Effective That More People Should Be Aware Of Hack 1: When you paint a room and remove the light switch plate, on the inside of the plate write down the color of the paint you used and the brand. Great for when you need to repaint a spot a couple of years later.

Hack 2: After you wash and dry a set of sheets, put the top sheet, bottom sheet and pillow case all inside of one of the pillow cases. Then you have the whole set together in one neat little package and don't have to look for matching sheets and pillow cases.

Or (in reference to the sheet sets) don't buy "sets", buy the sheets you need separately but in coordinating colors. Same goes for pillow cases. Then you don't have to worry about keeping a set together.

It can be really helpful in particular at work when that person you dislike and you consider to be dumber to actually save your a*s in certain situation rather than have him/her as your rival.

I keep receiving gossips from various colleagues about others and always pretend to never know anything while I know lots of details and I agree with many of these sometimes.

This is really helpful in your career being neutral and have people not being against you.

When someone offers to share a bit of juicy gossip, my response is always "Please don't tell me anything about X that I can't share with them." Shuts down that conversation instantly, plus it tells them I won't gossip about them either.

If your bed is tucked into a corner or against a wall, but there is still like a 2 inch gap where your remote, glasses, game controller, etc can fall down between the bed and the wall, buy a pool noddle and shove it down into that gap. It'll stop anything that tries to slide down into that PITA gap there.

You can also cut one to size and shove it between your driver's seat and the center console to stop your phone or keys from falling into That PITA gap.

Add volume to your casseroles by including a lot more vegetables than most recipes call for. Carrots are especially versatile. You can add loads and they give the casserole/stew a bit of sweetness whilst taking on the flavours of the dish. I used to dislike cooked carrots but now use them all the time. My family always asks me to add more of them and, as they are currently one of the cheapest vegetables, I'm happy to oblige. Canned beans (any sort - white, black, kidney etc) are also great for extending casseroles and making them a more complete meal without extra dishes or prep.

After making ramen that is presumably boiling hot, add frozen peas to cool it down and increase your veg count for the day.

This is also the perfect way to cook frozen peas (quickly so as to not leech out all the sugars).

Other frozen veg can be added as well/instead of but some of them actually need cooking for a number of minutes which just won't be done in the bowl of ramen.

The act of showing up, again and again and again.

We all want to do new stuff, or get better at things, or master something etc.

So we start, we try some, and then we quit because its not easy or the results are not showing up fast enough.

My take - if its something you really want — you just need to show up to it, whatever it is, again and again and again.

You WILL get better at it, and at some point, things will get easier and the returns will start to compound.

Show up and do your best, again and again and again, and if you flop around, fail at it for a time — good - that’s part of the process, the bump in the road you have to work around, or thru, to get to where you want.

It’s life, forging you, molding you, into that YOU that you want to be.

I would say that you must be perfectly willing to fail. I once went on a course where I was struggling and said to someone on our break. She was glad she wasn't the only one who felt like that and was happy to share that she felt the same. I struggled but managed to pass, but the lady I spoe to on our break never came back - she was scared she would fail..

I also wish I had learned to read, write, and speak Spanish as well as I do American English.

35 Life Hacks That Are So Simple Yet So Effective That More People Should Be Aware Of Going to bed at a consistent time to get enough sleep (really prioritising it).

It literally makes life so much better and easier. Health improvements in every aspect. Both mental and physical.

People live their lives chronically underslept and it causes all types of chaos in their lives.

They think it's freedom to stay up late or go to bed whenever they want (usually covering up a cycle of revenge bedtime procrastination), but they are unbeknownst to themselves in an underslept zombie prison of their own making.

I got no sleep last night btw. Feel like c**p!

If you’re having trouble finding your car in a parking lot, put the key fob to your chin to extend its range. Water is a great conductor, and your head is full of it. Definitely saved me after multiple dodgers games lol.

If you have a hard time reading on a computer screen (either physically, or if you just don’t enjoy what you’re reading/have a hard time with that format), you can download an extension to your web browser that reads everything out loud to you. This is the only way I can digest long work emails or web articles. Saves me so much rereading! And giving your boss a cool accent makes their annoying requests more bearable!!

If you have a glass walled shower and a shower head on a hose, take a few seconds after you finish washing yourself to hose down the walls.

It stops the scum build up and means you only need to attack the shower manually maybe once every six months.

Sparkly clean glass for everyone!

You have to turn it on the first before this works properly. It's off by default. Windows key + V also happens to turn this feature on.

I find that when you do that "look straight ahead" thing they'll usually pass you on your left, as an unwritten rule and it probably stems from right hand lane driving. Be careful when visiting left hand lane driving countries though! This rule may or may not apply

To cut your whitening strips in half (the long way) U really dont need to whiten the back and folding them over your teeth usually makes them sensitive. You get double the strips for the same price

We could also stop judging people based on natural occurrences, such as teeth staining. If you brush them regularly, that should be plenty and f**k anyone that says otherwise.

You can easily untie knots in plastic takeout bags by twisting the ends and pushing them through the knot.
