Please list your life hacks.

[reddragdiva]

I would like you to list your life hack du jour. The one you're quite pleased with at this moment.

All sizes welcome — small ones ("I've taken you off my DreamWidth reading list, thus saving a small amount of time") to large ones ("I have discovered a potentially quite useful procedure called the scientific method"). I don't care if it's strictly temporary or a programme to change your life.

Mine: Intarweb in batches. Switch off GMail instead of living in it. Second day, going well, not missing anything that was worth catching. This is giving me time to ask "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?" and have a mid-life crisis in a reasonably productive manner, between entertaining a toddler.

Please do spread this message, gathering a few would be of great interest.

yes, ciphergoth, this was inspired by you

Ooh, I had a cool hack on ear plugs a few months ago. I could never find ones which were comfortable enough to sleep in - my ear canals are short, so they always stuck out, so when I put my head on the pillow sideways (which is how I sleep), they pressed in to my head painfully. But someone helpfully suggested simply slicing the ends off with a Stanley knife. Simple and effective. Result!
