Weekly Life Hacks - Part 4

Lifehack = a strategy or technique adopted in order to manage one's time and daily activities in a more efficient way.

Hey!! I'm so glad I didn't set a definite day to upload my life hack posts because the past 2 have been late in comparison to when I thought I would be uploading...

Anyway... This is part 4.. if you have missed my other posts you should definitely check out part 3, part 2 and part 1 for more fun (yet probably useless for some) life hacks!

Week 4

1. Boiling over

I'm really cautious when it comes to cooking using my hob (mainly because its gas) so this wouldn't be one that applies to me personally.

BUT, friends and family of mine have used this tip/life hack before.

Ever leave something on the hob and it ends up boiling over? Maybe you've had to take a toilet break or you've sat down and got so engrossed in a tv program.. but whatever the reason your hob is now covered in water.

If you put a wooden spoon over/across the pot, it will stop the water boiling over!

2. How to clean a blender

...in 4 easy steps.

This one is short but effective.

Blenders can be a nightmare to clean without the application of this life hack.

Fist put soap into the blender, then add water. After the water has been added, put the blender on (give it a whirl) and then rinse.

Clean blender in seconds.

3. Drinking from a can using a straw

I'm almost positive everyone already knows this life hack.. but in case you don't this one is for you!

Put the straw through the tab (not sure what else to call it) on the top of the can which will stop the straw from falling out!

Handy!

4. No black ink

My printer always seems to run out of black ink first. This is probably because I'm always printing essays and lecture notes..

Anyway... To save you going to the shop to buy yet again another black ink cartridge why not try changing all the font colours to a really dark blue?

When you print it the dark blue looks almost identical to what the black would look like.

Cool way to save money.. kinda!

5. Google Chrome

So... this isn't reaallly a life hack more like a fun fact.

When your wifi blacks out or point blank isn't working, Google Chrome takes you to an error page that reads "this webpage is unavailable".




But, this error page is in fact a game. All you have to do is press the space bar.



So next time your internet is playing up, at least you know you have something to occupy yourself with!

So there's yet another 5 life hacks that hopefully someone will appreciate!

Later!
