Andy Sullivan: Against the Grain

Welcome to part 2 of Life Hacks! We start with a good one.  Always struggling to find the right band-aid? Sort them into various sandwich bags by size, and use the bandages themselves as labels on the front.  Not enough room in your oven for two frozen pizzas? Cut them into quarters and voila, Geometry!

New pair of heels causing you pain? Break them in at home with a thick pair of wool socks.  It’ll give them just the right amount of stretch.  Are you always forgetting your wallet at home? Stash a $20 bill inside your phone case so you’re never without cash in a pinch.  Are you tired of looking at that unsightly wireless phone charger? Hide it inside of a book for a much classier desktop.

Dogs always breaking into your trash? Instead of putting your dog in a crate, put your trashcan in a crate! Not enough room in your shopping cart? Six-pack of soda bottles can be hung on the side.  I must be ahead of the game.  We’ve been doing that for years.

Will your water bucket not fit in the sink? Use a dustpan to fill it up instead.  Here’s one I could’ve used as a child: worried about your little kids pinching their fingers in doors? A cut-up pool noodle wil save you many tears.  Just put it under the hinge.

Do you have squirrels and chipmunks invading your birdfeeder? Use a slinky to make the pole impossible to climb.  Wrap the birdfeeder post in the slinky.  Now for our final life hack….

Are you sick of the mess in your giftwrapping drawer? Cut a toilet paper tube for an easy way to keep wrapping paper from unraveling.  Finally, got a dirty screen door? A lint roller is your new best friend.  Just use the roller on the screen door just like your cleaning cat hair off a couch cushion!   28 Life Hacks That Are So Simple And Yet So Smart (buzzfeed.com)
