19 Hacks to Solve the Biggest Problems in Your Life
Helping my personal training clients with weight loss is the easy part! How do you get out of a submerged car? Where is the best sound in a movie theater? How do you stop a runny nose….with your finger? How do you instantly stop someone from towing your truck? These are the fundamental questions in life….and Keith Bradford’s book “Life Hacks” answers these life problems and more! Test them and see for yourself!
Use leftover coffee from the morning to make coffee ice cubes (which will cool down your coffee without diluting it).
throw one teaspoon of baking soda into the water when making hard-boiled eggs. The shell will come off without a problem once the egg is cooked.
Any citrus fruit like an orange, clementine, or grapefruit becomes easier to peel when you gently press and roll it on the table before peeling.
Take pictures of friends holding items you’ve lent them with your phone, so you remember down the road who borrowed what.
If your car is about to get towed, get in. Tow trucks are forced to stop to avoid kidnapping charges.
If you’re with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint, you can now text the police (911) in an emergency.
If you ever get trapped underwater in your car, use your car seat’s headrest to break the window.
If you ever get kidnapped, and they tie your hands together and put tape over your mouth, lick the tape. It will eventually fall off, and you’ll be able to yell for help.
When you call 911, the first thing you should always say is your location. They immediately send police when they have an address.
When you get a call from a telemarketer, don’t say anything and press “9” on your phone. This will automatically add your number to their “don’t call” list.
For the best sound in a movie theater, sit two-thirds of the way back and as close to the middle as possible. This is where audio engineers sit when they mix sound for movies.
When you feel like you’re about to yawn, touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue to prevent it.
Clogged drain? Unclog it with 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar.
The most effective cough syrup that exists is honey.
Believe it or not, rubbing walnuts on damaged wooden furniture can cover up a lot of dings and scratches.
Place a rubber band over any stripped screw to easily unscrew it.
Nothing kills weeds and keeps them dead for longer than white vinegar straight from the bottle.
Placing an envelope in the fridge for an hour will unseal it. This is a good tip to know if you need to remember to include something in a package.
Runny or stuffy nose? Push your tongue against the top of your mouth and push a finger between your eyebrows. Hold it for about twenty seconds. Your nose should clear.
