Daily life and well-being: 15 tips to simplify your life
Every day we use hundreds of objects and carry out thousands of actions almost automatically. But, if we just paused for a bit, we might realize that there are jobs that could be done better. How many times have we run into small inconveniences that could easily be avoided?
From avoiding the itchiness of insect bites to making a sandwich properly, here are 15 tips that will make your everyday life easier!
1. Remote control holder
How much time have you wasted looking for a remote control, only to find it later wedged between the sofa cushions? Perhaps it is worth considering an oversized key ring: certainly, this will be more difficult to lose!
Have you thought about taking a moment to relax, but you find yourself battling with the soap which continuously falls off the tub? Get yourself an elastic band and you will solve this problem: the soap will stay in place and you can give yourself a well-deserved soak!
3. A paint ladle
Repainting the walls of your home always brings some hassles, especially if you resort to DIY. Like those paint drips that get on your tables and floors while you are painting? Avoid this by using a soup ladle! Ingenious, don't you think?
4. Dust-collector tape
You know drilling a hole in the wall creates a lot of annoying dust, right? Forget this problem forever by using this remedy: take a roll of scotch tape, put it on the top of your drill and use the sticky tape to collect up the dust. Ingenious, don't you think?
5. The sanitary cabinet
When you need a cotton ball or face cream, do you always have to rummage through all the things thrown into some cabinet? Try this solution, and you will always have everything to hand: buy a wall organizer and divide the sanitary products into their various categories.
6. Vibration dampener
Have you got any pool noodles laying around? Reuse them to stabilize the washing machine: you will free up space in the closet and your home will be silent again!
7. Travel-proof sandwich
You are on a trip out of town and you have prepared sandwiches, the bread is now mushy and the fillings have fallen out. How can this be avoided? Simple: put the condiments and wet ingredients on the inside the filling, instead of directly on the bread. Your packed lunch will be fine!
8. Level table legs
Okay, it's not aesthetically pleasing, but the satisfaction of eating without that annoying rocking is priceless!
9. Screws at your fingertips
Do you need an assistant every time you have to put a screw in the wall? And if you are alone at home, how do you do this? Don't worry: secure the screws you need with a little duct tape to your wrist. Now, assistants will not be needed.
10. User guides
Tired of always looking for the instruction booklets for your appliances? Put a label on them!
11. Emergency cable
Is your mobile phone charging cable is broken and you have no chance to buy another one before your phone dies? If you can find a rubber band, you can solve this problem with a makeshift solution!
12. A leash with bags
In order not to forget anything when you take your dog for a walk, follow this example: this person tied bags directly to the leash with a rubber band. Now you will have no problems cleaning up after your dog!
13. Dosing container
The next time you open a container with a paper seal, wait before you throw it away: it may come in handy as a dispenser.
14. Smartphone holder
You can make a practical holder for your smartphone simply by using the container for adhesive tape. And, it also gives you a hole through which you can thread your charger cable!
15. Bed bookstand
Do you love to read in bed but your arms get tired? Or you can't ever find a comfortable position? Try making a bed bookstand. You can lay down comfortably and your book will be within reach! Your arms will thank you!
