30+ Life Hacks And Observations That Are Undeniably Genius

Life hacks are something that we all have up our sleeves. Some make total sense, while others are meant for rare occasions or unusual circumstances.

Either way, life hacks definitely find their place in most people's lives. The internet is used for many different things, but sharing information is one of its biggest uses.

A Reddit user went to Reddit to ask people to share their favorite life hacks. This Reddit thread ended up being very educational for many people and contained tons of information.

We thought it would be beneficial to share the best life hacks from the Reddit post here. Some of these hacks you may have heard of before or implemented on a daily basis, but others might be completely new and change the way you live your life.

I know I can speak for many of us when I say that we will definitely be adopting some of these life hacks in our lives. Sometimes, you just need a little hack or help to solve a life problem that you have.

Either way, we are sure that you'll find a hack in this list that you will love.

1. We love this advice.

"When I'm trying to sleep in bed at night, I go over what I did that day and think of everything I did in a positive light or as if it's part of a goal I'm working towards. I've never been depressed (or at least diagnosed with it!), but this helps me feel like I've accomplished something, and I can feel better about what I've done.Celebrate every little thing you did, and it also helps me fall asleep a little bit faster too."anderoogigwh*re

2. Definitely did not know this trick.

"Put a glass of water in the microwave to cook food that isn't already frozen. It works really well with things like pasta that you want to reheat without getting that bad rubberized texture.The temperature of the water is also usually a good indicator of how hot your food is, so you don't need to taste it cold."lostcauz707

3. This is one that I'll be implementing.

4. Okay, I think we all can relate to this.

"Not quite literally daily, but every time it comes up, I say to myself, 'righty tighty, lefty loosey.' Even if English is not my primary language, lol."Freedom0001

5. You should always clean as you go.

"Washing dishes while cooking. Now it’s at a point where I just do it because I want a clean kitchen."devatrox

6. Just do it.

7. Great advice for nights out.

"Drink one cup of water for every two alcoholic beverages. I keep a bottle of water by my bedside before I go to bed.When I wake up to go pee, I chug as much as I can and pass back out. I end up with far less of a hangover."Kirasmile

8. Even Deadpool gives good advice.

"That moment trick from Deadpool. I have a bad temper, not going to lie.It felt uncontrollable for a while, but it was just because I was always so quick to react. Like as a kid, if my brother said something that rubbed me the wrong way, the next moment, I was trying to fight my brother without even thinking.Now, if something pisses me off, I catch myself and think about why that thing pissed me off. Nine times out of ten, I'm just being dumb and allowing something trivial to upset me.This helps a lot if you rage in video games. Most of the time, if you're raging in a game at someone on your team, you're the problem."_IratePirate_

9. I know some people who may benefit from this tip.

"If you have to put something down for a bit, like your phone or a glass of water, say out loud, 'I'm putting this ____ here.' I guess that by doing that, you engage different parts of your brain and make it more likely for you to remember where you put something when you need it again."-eDgAR-

10. Now this is smart.

"I flip my pill bottles after taking them so I remember if I took them or not. It really helps if you take the same pill in the morning and at night."rachwiddabangs

11. This is the one.

12. These are great words to live by for a clutter-free home.

"Don't put it down, put it away." Edit: Thanks for the awards and badges, everyone!I truly don’t know what they mean, but I appreciate it, lol. A lot of people here are saying, 'please tell my wife' or 'please tell my husband.'Funny enough, my wife is the one who made me live by this. She saw it on an ADHD subreddit she frequents (to get a better idea of what goes on in my head, lol).She’s an amazing person. Thanks again, everyone."acardy

13. How many of you do this?

"The second I walk into my house when I'm done for the day, I go straight to my room and change into my comfy/ugly clothes. Now all of my good clothes last three times longer."Griznak

14. This is very true.

"The chef who taught me to cook said at the get-go, '90% of cooking is cleaning.'"LAGreggM

15. I think all of us could learn from this.

"Saying 'thank you' instead of apologizing for things that don't need apologies. I'm a chronic apologizer, and it's helped a lot.For example, if I have a bad day and vent to my husband, instead of saying, 'sorry for venting and bringing down the mood,' I'll say, 'thank you for listening and being supportive.' It puts a much more appreciative and positive light on your relationships!"thegracefuldork

16. Good advice.

"Empathizing with someone when they're angry. This has saved me countless times in my customer service career."policyshift

17. This is one that a lot of us have heard of.

"My alarm clock is across the room, requiring me to get out of bed to turn it off. It prevents me from falling back asleep."soik90

18. This is a very good trick!

19. Separate your work and home space.

"I stopped doing any kind of work in my dorm room at college and only did it at the libraries. Not only did I become way more productive, but I enjoyed being in my room a lot more.It’s much more comfortable (and easier) to fall asleep when you’ve taken a 15-minute walk home than when you’ve been working at your desk in the same room for four hours."NoLifeMax

20. Always start your day like this. It will make a difference.

21. This is a good trick to help with midnight snacking.

"Posting this too late for anyone to see, but I brush my teeth as part of my daughter's bedtime routine. This keeps me from snacking late at night since my teeth already feel clean, and I don't want to mess them up before bed.I've lost about five inches from my waist, and it keeps me accountable to brush my teeth before I'm too tired to care."petethepianist

22. Water will change the way you feel.

"Drink. Water. It's something so simple yet so often ignored. Yeah, it can get annoying at times.I never really want to get up at 3:30 a.m. to pee. I don't really want to have to stop on, say, a six-hour drive because I have to pee.But staying well-hydrated helps me feel better, look better, and rest better (yeah, there's the 3:30 a.m. pee, but that's after three hours of sleep. I didn't toss and turn for three hours before then), etc.And it will help you live longer. Your organs will thank you."2020IsANightmare

23. Reusable bags.

24. Find alternatives to road rage.

25. Prepping the night before helps for a productive and easy morning.

"Preparing/getting stuff ready the night before. For example: getting my shoes and putting them by the front door.Packing my backpack with all the things I'll need for that day. Getting my underwear, shirt, pants, etc., out and folding them in a pile.Packing lunch(es) for that day. No more running around in the mornings looking for stuff on a time crunch!It’s become so much less stressful when I know where everything is, and I can just get everything on and leave."KomodoJo3

26. Deep stretches are a game changer.

"Deep stretching right before bed or right when waking up makes a world of difference."CaptainObvious1906

27. This is interesting.

28. I've never heard this, but I love it.

29. Adult advice at its finest.

"Shopping with a list. Putting things on a list when they need to be replaced and then sticking to the list when I go shopping.It's probably saved me many thousands of dollars by now."tranquilseafinally

30. You don't have to follow all the rules.

"You don't have to follow the rules. Doing half the dishes is better than doing none.Having a clean hamper and a dirty hamper is completely acceptable. Nobody said the socks in your drawer had to be paired up, either.Focus on one thing in general and apply it to the whole house that day, like just doing floors or surfaces. There's nothing wrong with your kids being bored sometimes; that's their problem.Let them figure it out, but don't limit what they're able to do. You don't have to 'pick' what to have for dinner every night; we rotate through staples every week.If we get bored, we just eat what we feel like. There's nothing wrong with a bowl of cereal and a sandwich for dinner, as long as everyone's fed and the rest of the day wasn't junk."vampiratemirajah

31. Sleep is more important than you think.

"Getting all the sleep I need. I noticed a while back how literally everything is better when I am well-rested, and I don't care if people make fun of me for sleeping nine hours every night.I have never pulled an all-nighter in college, and when I do hikes that start really early, I just go to bed for the night in the late afternoon the day before and still get my sleep. Nothing stands between me and my bed, lol."vanillax2018

32. Setting boundaries with yourself is good.

33. Lists work wonders.

34. Take care of your socks.

"I bought 24 pairs of the same socks and threw away the rest of the mismatched ones. I have a couple 'winter socks' and that’s it."familiarfate01

35. Don't snooze.

"Getting out of bed immediately when the alarm goes off."
