Post YOUR Hack - things you made or created to make your life easier

[onemanempire]

The scenario that prompted me to make this thread was the comments at the checkout I get when using this "Hack"
:
I don't have or want a Woollies Rewards card. Partner does have one.
I always forget to take it with when shopping.

So... My solution was to...




add a photo of the Woollies card to my phone's lock screen. Tap the phone to wake it up, and done. One Wollies card ready to scan.

Do you have a "Hack" not meaning tech related, just a hack in general that made your life easier?

For example, I was doing some painting the other day and found that if I put a rubber band around the tin of paint so that it was positioned half way across the top of the open can, it provided me with a way to wipe the excess paint off the brush without the usual paint build up on the rim... making resealing the can mess free, and as an added bonus, air tight.

Tell us (with pics would be neat) what ya done.

I have a photo of the Rewards barcode as well.

(Also, not so much a hack as a habit, I use the photo labelling option on my phone so things can be searched easily.)

Because I’m forgetful I often thread “memory triggers” through my ute key ring that relate to other items I’m supposed to pack or buy next journey.
