Friday Fun

Is it Friday already? Goodness, where did the time go?

Well, today I'm talking about time savers or you know, life hacks. They aren't necessarily crafts, though it does take some pretty crafty people to discover the tricks.

I read a really good one on Pinterest a while ago, but I can't seem to find it. There's no loss though, because there are many other sites and lists of life hacks.

Here is a pretty good one of 16 Life Hacks (note, it goes out to buzzfeed.com).

The one I really needed was using a post-it to clean between the keys on a keyboard. When you start a job somewhere, they often give you a keyboard that is utterly disgusting and full of dust and crumbs. You can clean the top of the keys as much as you'd like, but unless you have a mini vacuum, the in betweens will stay dusty.

I also like the one about using a dustpan to fill a bucket that doesn't fit under the faucet.

Anyway, some of the life hacks there are pretty good. They don't list some of the easier/interesting ones.

Like:

You know the tab on a loaf of bread? The color of the twist tie/bread clip indicates the day of the week it was made.

They then said you can use that bread clip to fix a flip flop that has pulled through it's base (useful for Summer, eh?)

Another one, from when I was younger: when figuring out the difference between right and left, bend you middle, ring, and pinky finger, leaving your thumb and forefinger pointing. The one that makes an "L" properly is your Left hand, and the backwards "L" your right.

For you Downtan Abbey fans (and fancy luncheon goers) you can then use this to remember which fork is yours at a fancy dinner. Your fork (with four letters) goes on the left hand side (left also has four letters). Your knife (five letters) goes on your right hand side (right also has five letters).

Does anyone else have any good life hacks? I could use all the help I can get.
