What are some life hacks that you practice?
View all responses
My biggest life hack is doing things immediately if they take less than five minutes, because “I’ll do it later” is where tasks go to start families.
The crazy part is, avoiding the task usually takes more energy than actually doing it. So I answer the email, hang up the jacket, make the appointment, or take the trash out before my brain can start negotiating. Five minutes now saves me from spending five hours mentally yelling, “You still need to do that.”
Basically, I’ve learned that sometimes the best life hack is not giving procrastination enough time to clock in.
