A life hack is an uncommon solution to a common problem.

For example, I don't take selfies but I do use my selfie camera to plug things into the back of my computer.

What's your life hack?

If you're getting nowhere when complaining to any organisations, business or public service, then e-mail the CEO directly; works every time!

E-mail addresses are usually available online, if you search hard enough!

If you feel you would be disadvantaged in a job application process, for example because of ageism, write to the CEO at their home address with a copy of your CV and a really professionally scripted covering letter.

I got two the best jobs I ever had by this method; very unorthodox, but this meyhod shows initiative, confidence and audacity.

Want to chill a bottle of wine beer or any sealed drink really fast without diluting the drink with ice?

Wrap it in kitchen paper towel and wet it under the tap and in freezer for 15 minutes.

Ice cold

Lazy late evening snack for that chocolatey fix you want but can't be arsed baking.. try a chocolate brownie mug cake

I have an app on my phone for that called Magnifying Glass. Works even better than zooming in on pics taken with a camera.

Mmmm sounds unlikely. An app can't make more pixels than were in the original pic.

I should really write things out in a more articulate manner. Apologies, coffee not taken yet.

What I mean is I find it works better than using the camera and zooming in on pics because of ease of use.

I just opened the Magnifying Glass app and zoom in and out of what I am trying to read.

With the camera method I've to open the camera, take the pic, go into it, zoom on it and then delete the pic if I don't need it.

But as for whether or not there are more pixels etc I really don't know much about that. I just find the app very handy at times.for reading really small print.

A fairly simple but effective one. If your one of these people who put stuff away in a safe place and promptly forget said safe place take a picture of it. Then when you forget where it is boom you can just look it up on your phone.
