Your Daily Dose Of Life Hacks

View this email in your browser What's up life hackers,  Today I learned that in several Chinese cities, there is a service called "jam-busting". Drivers in traffic jams who need to get somewhere urgently call for a couple of people to show up on a motorbike. One stays with your car, and the other puts you on the back of the bike, and blasts off through and around the traffic jam.   Here's your daily dose of life hacks...    (2477) Frozen Vs Non-Frozen Vegetables  Did you know that there is as much vitamins and nutrients in frozen vegetables as in fresh ones. This is due to the fact that they have been quickly frozen after picking to preserve their properties, unlike "fresh" ones that can stay for days in a storage or display.

Got a big test tomorrow and not up to studying? Study for 15 minutes. A 40 is much better than a 0. Don't feel like working out today? Go for a walk. Too busy for breakfast? Drink a cup of milk. Stayed up too late? Go to bed right now. 3 hours of sleep is superior to none. The pile of dirty dishes too daunting? Wash 5. Can't do the whole yard? Mow the front.  The principle can be applied to various situations in life. Often times you will find that after you get started, you feel motivated to complete the task, like cleaning or exercising, but if not, at least you did part of it, and something is always better than nothing.  (2479) DIY Drano  The next time you get a clogged drain, try this simple DIY Drano, before rushing out to the store to buy some. Pour one cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar down it. Cover the plug with a plate and wait for 30 minutes, then blast it with hot water. Most of the time this does the exact same thing Drano will do.   Help support this newsletter on our Patreon page, like these amazing people: Tara Widmer, Norman Peter, Stuart Albrecht, Peter Grote, Margaret Bliss, Carol Brach.  Sincerely,  Keith Bradford   Want to submit your life hacks?
