Is there any day life doesn’t present us with problems? Even if it’s not major, it could be a minor one. Except you’re one of the people who don’t think that looking for your bag when you’re ready to go out is a problem.

What if you need a drink and it’s not cold enough? Or you are trying to study but your brother’s music is too loud? Aren’t these problems? I take it that you’ve agreed with me already. So, keep reading to see how you can help yourself in such inconveniencing situations. If you still don’t agree, keep reading anyway. You’d definitely use the hacks one way or another.
Tennis Ball Hanger

Just cut a slit in it and hang it. You can slide anything in, like keys, a pen, etc. It’s just an easy and comfortable way to keep your stuff. You can even stick your sticky notes to it.
Straw for Strawberries
Is any fruit more beautiful than this? I highly doubt that. They’re not just beautiful, they’re juicy and delicious as well. But, here’s the part we don’t eat – Those green leaves on top.

So, you can use a straw to remove them without making a mess. Take any straw and push it through the bottom all the way to the top. It will pop the leaves out and it’s far easier than trying to remove them with your fingers.
Chip Bag Sealing
The first thing that comes to mind when you can’t finish your chips is to use a clip. Of course, you’re doing this to preserve it and prevent air from entering. But what if you don’t have a clip?

Squeeze all the air out of the bag first. Then, fold the top corners like you’re wrapping a present. After that, fold the center top down a few times. By now, you’ll have a triangle flap by the sides and a rolled-down center. Tuck the center in the sides and your air-tight chips bag is ready.
Quick Cold Drink Hack
On very hot days or after stressful activities, a cold drink would be the best thing that happened to you.

But when you get to the fridge, what you find is not cold enough or even close to what you need. What you’ll do is simple. Wet a towel and wrap your drink with it. Then, put it in the fridge and wait for 10-15 minutes. It will be super cold when you take it out.
Protect Your Fingers from the Hammer
Are you tired of hammering your fingers instead of the nail? A cloth peg can save you, then. Use the peg to hold the nail and your hammering can be smooth.

Even when you’re hitting and you miss, you’ll hit the peg, instead of your hand. With this hack, you can go about nailing anything you want from now on.
Easy Tip for Toasted Sandwiches
Who doesn’t love a perfect toast? Warm sandwich with melting cheese and vegetables just the way we love it. The mere thought of it can even make one salivate. But sometimes, making it can be a mess and the exact opposite of the imagined version is what comes out.

An easy way to make a perfect sandwich is to put two bread slices in one toaster slot. The outside would be crunchy and the inside would still be soft. Put your fillings and toast it to perfection.
CD Spindle Upgrade
Those spindles that you get from a black CD are not just to be used for holding the CD alone. They can be used as a bagel tote. Clean out the Spindle and slide your bagel right at the center.

It can be a very good place for your bagel until you’re ready to eat. Also, it’s a great way to reuse something that may have been thrown away.
Banana Peel as Shoe Polish
I’m sure you didn’t know this. But banana peels can be used to shine shoes. When you’ve eaten your banana, instead of throwing the peels away like that, put them to good use.

Rub the inside part all over your shoes. Then, use a cloth to clean and shine it after. Your shoes will be as shiny as new. It’s also an eco-friendly way to keep your shoes looking great.
No More Door Slamming
When a door slams shut, it can either be annoying or appealing, depending on whether you did the slamming or not. Now, in the case where you didn’t slam or you did but not intentionally, you can stop that annoying loud bang.

Get a rubber band and stretch it over the doorknobs. This way, when the door tries to slam, the rubber band will cushion the effect.
Easy Plant Watering
Don’t feel bad when you forget to water your plants. It may even be a chore for you but there’s an easy way to do this. Get a water bottle, fill it up, and turn it upside down in the soil.

Make sure it’s really inside the soil so it doesn’t pour out. The water will drip out slowly and wet the plants even when you’re not around.
Sponge Ice Pack
You can make an ice pack with your sponge. The same one you use to wash your dishes, yes. So, get a clean sponge and run water over it till it’s totally soaked.

Take a ziplock bag and put your wet sponge inside. Don’t squeeze at all, just seal the bag and put it in the freezer. After a few hours, the water would turn to ice, but the sponge would prevent it from turning to block.
