Timers

Whether you’re getting ready to go out or working on a task or assignment, utilize the timer on your phone to help you keep track of your time! This not only makes sure you are doing this efficiently but it also gives you an end to something if you aren’t doing something fun or pleasant.

To-Do Lists

To-do lists are essential for time management. You can use it for any part of your life that needs organizing, and the best way to use it is to write everything down and then prioritize it based on importance and urgency.

Distractions

Distractions are the enemy of time management, so try to eliminate them as much as you can when you’re trying to get things done. This might mean putting a lock on social media, not listening to music, or whatever distracts you most.

Curtains

If you have curtains in your house, you have an easy way to add some extra humidity to your home! All you have to do is spray them with just a bit of water so they’re a bit damp, and as they dry, the water will evaporate and add moisture to the room.

Drying Rack

Similar to curtains, when you hang up wet clothes on a drying rack, the water will remain in the air and give it moisture as the clothes dry. This is not only a great way to add humidity to your room, but also it’s much more eco-friendly than using a dryer! And will save you money by not using your dryer.

Sponge

This is a great little hack if you want to make a quick humidifier. Take a large freezer bag and poke some holes in it. Then, wet a sponge so it’s damp but not actually dripping. You might need to ring it out first. Put the sponge in the bag, hang it in whatever room you need, as many as you need, and you’ll have an instant humidifier!

Glasses

Though it is definitely not a permanent fix, you can absolutely use gum as a way to keep your broken glasses just intact enough until you can get them repaired. Just put a really small piece of already chewed gum in the corner of the lens and it should stay pretty well for a short while.

Gardening

If you love using terracotta planting pots but accidentally got a crack in one, you can use gum to repair it! Just chew it for a good long while, and then spread it over the crack in the pot and it will be good as new.

Heartburn

Believe it or not, gum can actually help you if you have heartburn! At least if you are using mint gum. The peppermint in the gum will help you digest better, and since gum helps you produce more saliva, that will also help you get through a period of heartburn discomfort.

Batteries

For some reason, disposable batteries keep their charge longer if you put them in a cool dark place where the temperature is consistent. For this reason, the fridge is the perfect place to stick them, and gives you more incentive to buy in bulk knowing they’ll actually last!

Eye Cream

If you’re someone who is really on it about their face routine, you might want to start putting that eye cream of yours in the fridge! Not only does the cold help keep the lotion longer, but the coldness is always good for puffiness, which means when you put on that cold eye cream you’ll look even better!

Spices

A lot of people have a spice rack or even a spice drawer in their kitchens, but in reality, you should really be keeping them in the freezer! This makes the spices last a whole lot longer while maintaining their original flavors.

Butter

If you’re someone who doesn’t use butter on a regular basis, don’t keep it in the fridge! Throw it into the freezer and you’ll be able to keep it for 6-9 months!

Kitchen Tool

While it might be hard to imagine using an afro pick in the kitchen, it’s actually a lot more useful than you think. What you can do is stick the afro pick into a piece of fruit, a vegetable, or even a cut of meat and slice it up into perfectly even slices by cutting between the prongs. This is great if you don’t have the best knife skills, and especially if you have a child that wants to start helping you out in the kitchen! An afro pick with metal prongs is just the thing for the job.

Rugs

Rugs with fringe on the end are really cute, and can really jazz up space. However, once the fringes start to tangle or go in every direction, it’s hard to make them go back to the way they were. But, if you have an afro pick around, you don’t have to worry! All you have to do is comb the fringe as you would hair and they’ll be back to new in seconds.

Reservations 

Before you go to the DMV check your local office’s website to see if there is a possibility of making a reservation. This will greatly decrease your waiting time, and you will often be seen within 15 minutes of your reservation or sometimes less. But, you do have to do this in advance so try to plan for 1-2 weeks before you know you need to go.

Productivity 

If your DMV does not allow for reservations, come prepared! You might not have to wait very long depending on the time of day, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Always bring with you either a book or have some shows downloaded on your phone. You can also even ask your employer if you can work from home that day and get some work done at the DMV.

Classes

Your class schedule isn’t something you can change too much, except for the occasional drop and swap at the beginning of the semester. However, once you’ve figured out your exact class schedule, see the gap times and use that as a starting point for your routine.

Self Care

In college, it can difficult to find enough time to make sure you’re taking care of your mind and body. Check out the fitness classes your college offers and set a goal to do at least one a week! And, even if though it’s tempting to watch Netflix until the wee hours of the night, take 1-2 nights and go to bed as early as you can.

Make To-Do Lists

Once you’re in a lot of classes and you have all sorts of essays and exams to figure out, making to-do lists really comes in handy. Even though it seems obvious, making daily, weekly, and even monthly to-do lists gives you a sense of organization and accomplishment.

Serving Snacks

Muffin tins are the perfect vehicles for serving a lot of snacks all at once! All you have to do is fill each cup with whatever kind of snack you and your friends are in the mood for — like dips, chips, crackers, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and beyond! This also makes for a perfect tool if you’re having a lot of kids coming over that want a lot of different snacks.

Paint

Whether you’re a painter or you want to have a paint party for you or your kids, use your muffin tins as a palette! All you have to do is squeeze the paint into the cups, and if you want to do any mixing, you can keep some empty to do that.

Infusions

Whether it’s for water or cocktails, muffin tins are a great way to put out some garnishes and things to infuse your drinks with for a party! Add things like lemon slices, cucumber, herbs like mint, and anything else that suits the kind of drinks you’ll be serving.

De-cluttering

Before you start putting things in boxes, you need to first get rid of things. This might be hard, but everyone has at least 1 junk drawer that needs some serious attention. Think about what items you actually used in your current home, and if you haven’t used something, give it away. Starting the process by minimizing your things will only make your life easier.

Organizing

When you pack your things, think about how you want to organize everything. You can do it by room or by items, whatever you feel is most efficient for you.

Also, make sure that you utilize storage items that you already have like backpacks, suitcases, and crates since you’ll have to bring them to your new place anyway, you might as well fill them with items.

Pro Tips

If you’re in need of boxes but don’t have any and don’t want to pay for them, head to your local liquor store! They always have boxes from the cases of bottles that come in so you can take as many as you want.

Also, instead of using newspaper to wrap delicate things, use stray socks and dish clothes.

Bobby pins are those small hair clips that are perfect for getting your bangs out of your face, pinning up those baby hairs, and more. However, did you do know that bobby pins actually have a lot more uses that go beyond hair? If you’re ever in a bind, a bobby pin can go a long way.

Sleeve Creases

If you have a short sleeve shirt that has already slightly folded sleeves, you might find that when you wash it the crease can get crooked. Instead of ironing it flat, all you have to do is hang dry it with some bobby pins! Just slide the bobby pins onto the sleeve where it needs to stay flat the most, and take them off once the shirt has dried!

Ties

If you don’t have a tie clip handy all you need is a bobby pin or two! It works in the same way and your tie will lay flat and smartly.

Toothpaste

For people who don’t like to waste a single drop of toothpaste, this is the trick for you! Instead of killing your fingers trying to get out every last drop, just stick a bobby pin at the end of the tube and use it to push up all the paste to the top.
