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

That's awesome, thanks.

What am I supposed to do with all those seconds of time I save?

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

Nah. Getting some natural vitamin D while doing yard work is not only good for you, but makes for a good getaway from hearing about [fill in the blank].

True freedom is having fewer service people dependent on you for money. I want fewer pigs looking to suckle from my money tits.

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.

unless someone like you came along, used the ones in the trash for 2 cycles, then threw them away.

you're playing with fire here.

Buy a 3 pound bag of peeled garlic from Costco.

Chop it all up in a food processor.

Put the chopped garlic in a big Ziploc freezer bag.

Flatten the bag out as much as possible.

Toss it in the freezer.

Now you have a year's supply of fresh garlic with no need to peel any garlic ever. Break off a little bit for cooking whenever you need it.

That's all I got.

Driving 100 everywhere is so efficient that basically creates gas.

Putting an empty box back so that it looks like you have food is a little strange but whatever. Cutting the box and putting it back is just bizarre.

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

Drive at 105 mph, put a bucket on your exhaust and you can actually sell gas back to the station and make money.

“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.
