Are you still trying to figure out ways to make your New Year’s Resolutions come true? Check out these life hacks that you should know. What is a life hack? (I asked the same question…) These are new ways to do everyday things to make life easier, more convenient, more fun or in a word: better. With barely any effort, they can make a difference in your life! Check them out:
Domestic Hacks
- Reverse your hangers when you pull out an item of clothing. At the end of the year, clothes on hangers that haven’t been reversed can be given away!
- Get out of the house on time by making your playlist in the morning for the amount of time you have before you have to leave.
- Unlock a chain lock from the outside by attaching a rubber band to the chain lock and then to the inside door handle.
- Open a banana the right way by flipping the banana over and pinching the stem. (Yes, this is the way that monkeys do it!)
- Remember to bring important things with you by putting your car keys on them (or on top of your shoes) the night before.
- Use aluminum foil correctly – those tabs on the ends of the box keep the roll from popping out. Cling wrap works the same way.
- Get an ice cold drink in 3 minute flat by placing the drink in a pot and cover it with ice. Add 2 cups of salt and fill it with water. Give it 3 minutes!
School/Education Hacks (Ahh, to be back in college again…)
- Find sources for your thesis (or other long paper) by finding one solid source and looking through the bibliography for other references.
- To get more time to write your paper, rename a jpg, mp3 or another media file and rename it to your paper. Since the “paper” will look “corrupt,” you may get an extra day or two! (Probably shouldn’t become a habit though!!)
Here’s another tip to make life a little better: save more money on your Massachusetts insurance! Did you know that if you bundle two or more policies, you can save money? Encharter Insurance agents are always looking out for ways to save you money. Talk to your MA insurance agent about how you can save money on your MA Home Insurance and MA Auto Insurance. And don’t forget to start utilizing some of the tips above to make life a little better!
Watch out next week for more life hacks. : )

Wow! Tips for making life easier…who knew?! I love the “reversal of hangers” idea! And I especially love that my personal insurance can be made easier too with my MA insurance agent! It was recommended to me to combine my MA home and MA auto insurance policies and, not only did it save me money, but it saves me time and effort to have my policies with one carrier and with one agency!
