Life Hacks:

If you want to get better at anything, do it for 30 minutes per day for 30 straight days . It's

easy to over-engineer progress—a bit of dedicated effort each day is all you need. 

900 minutes of accumulated effort are enough to make dramatic improvements at literally

anything.

In your 20s and 30s, do a few things that you'll be excited to tell your kids about someday.

Go on an adventure, train for some challenging event, get your hands dirty on a crazy

project, whatever. Create stories worth telling.

Reread your favourite books annually. You may read thousands of books in your life, but

there will only be a few that deeply change you. Reread them every single year. The book

doesn't change, but you do.

Healthy Plant Hydration

Water settling at the bottom of pots can lead to root rot. To combat this problem, cut up old sponges and put them at the bottom of the pot. The sponges retain moisture and create necessary air space. They also help prevent water from flushing out the bottom.

The sponge acts as a water reserve, keeping the soil moist for longer.

Your Shoes Will Look New

All you need is an old toothbrush and a little toothpaste to get your old sneakers looking like new! Non-gel white toothpaste works great for cleaning white-soled sneakers; coloured toothpaste may stain rather than clean them. Apply toothpaste to an old toothbrush and then work the paste into the dirty spots. Leave the toothpaste on the shoes for about ten minutes, and then wipe it off with a damp towel. Repeat the process if necessary.
