When you want to play music for everyone to hear, put it in a cup or bowl. This life hack it a something I use almost everyday. The sound of the music will echo of the side of the cup or bowl. This is extremely helpful when you don't want to buy an expensive speaker. Another great life hack is when you are order a pizza and go pick it up, put the seat warmers on the car so the pizza stays warm. According to http://www.boredpanda.com/life-hacks/

and its #6 - listen to classical music when you're studying. I picked it because this is something I do, and it helps you focus on whatever it is needs focusing on.
A life hack of my own is, before you do any kind of physical activity, roll your ankles around a few times. It helps them loosen up.
The life hack I chose is the one from ViralNova- make a speaker out of an old toilet paper roll and cups. It is a much cheaper way to amplify your music. You don't need to buy a fancy speaker, you can just use tools that you got from home. One life hack that I use is using a pants hanger to keep a book open. It is an easy ways to keep your book open with no hands
ReplyDeleteThe life hack that I picked was from ViralNova- holding your textbook open with a pen. I love to read, and I am always looking for creative ways to somehow hold a book open while I'm doing something with both hands. A life hack of my own is always wake up earlier than you actually have to so you can stay in bed long enough to feel reasonably satisfied with how much sleep you got.
ReplyDeleteThe life hack I chose is from Buzzed. You put a bunch of popsicle sticks in a cup-each with a workout written on it. If you're ever not motivated, you take out one popsicle stick and do the workout written on it. One of my own life hacks is setting your alarm on your phone and keeping it across the room. That way, when it goes off in the morning, you have to stand up and walk across the room to turn it off.
