Do you have any life hacks in daily tasks that make life much easier? Spinning off of the laundry thread with so many men saying they help the wife with laundry and other household chores.
Whether it’s cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc…, any tips or tricks that you do that to stay on top of these things?
I used to meal prep for the week. Wasn’t the healthiest but still made for an easy thoughtless lunch everyday!

If you hire a maid and a yard man, it creates a lot of extra free time. That's what I did.
5 stars, would recommend.

It's worth it to pay someone to come cut your grass.

Yes, I get my side squeeze to do it while wife is at work. Then claim I did it. Two birds/one stone and all that...........

I post this in every life hack thread, so apologies if it’s a repeat y’all have previously seen… but everyone deserves to know!
When you are unpacking a new case of beer in the fridge, don’t unpack them one at a time, slowly moving them from the case to the shelf individually. Rather, open the back of the case first. Then place the entire case on the shelf. Then open the front of the case and push the beers out the back.
An voila! No more slow, arduous, one-by-one unpacking of your beer like a peasant

Use your trash can and recycle bins for all trash because it all goes to the landfill anyway. Saves time sorting your household garbage.

I rarely cook so I store valuables in the oven.
When I’m done eating dry food that comes in a box, I save the empty box and cut about 2/3 of it off with a razor knife. I take the empty box and put it on a shelf in the pantry or cupboard with other old boxes so it looks like I have a lot of food.
Ice - nature’s Viagra
If you use a laundromat, the dryer sheets in the trash have at least 2 more cycles in them.

Driving 100 everywhere is so efficient that basically creates gas.

Get an automatic feeder so that your cats/dogs don’t whine and wake you up in the morning for food.

“Life Hack” suggests video game terminology.
Adults playing video games enough to use the terminology in every day conversation suggests immaturity.
Grow up and face life like a mature adult and no “hacks” are required.

If you have trouble getting kids or wife out of bed in the morning, set the heater to 80 when you wake up.
If you can't get them to go to sleep, crank the AC to sixty at bedtime.
Use a reputable VPN for everything online.
If your dog gets anxious during thunderstorms, give him a couple Benadryls.
Tell your wife she is attractive and smart even if she isn't.
Call your mom at least once a week.

I'm near OCD when it comes to convenience of simple daily tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, making coffee, etc.
I need things very organized and orderly. I'll feel like I'm wasting so much time if I have to backtrack or do things out of order.
My only hack is to pay for convenience and put thought into your most repeated tasks so you don't waste time or energy in doing simple things.

Bubble Juice for bubble machines from Walmart bleaches driveways as if it's just been pressure washed.

Be a good person with a strong faith. Life is short, but eternity is forever.

When did advice or tips become "life hacks". So frickin dumb.

I have a nightguard to keep me from grinding my teeth at night. During the day I soak it in Efferdent to keep it clean. At night I pour the Efferdent water into the toilet. Cleans the bowl very well.

What meal prep are you using?

After installing my first dishwasher over covid I realized that it is only fed by the hot water line and the instructions recommended running the hot water in the adjacent sink before starting the dishwasher.

When I get a large pack of bottled water, I cut the plastic along the middle of the package on the back, top, and front (leaving the bottom intact). I then bend the bottom along the midline so both openings face up. It lets me put a 32 pack case in my fridge instead of a 24 pack.

You probably trade time for money when you should be trading money for time. You will run out of time before you run out of money.
