Our culture seems to be obsessed with "hacking" all parts of our lives. Those who want a more aesthetically pleasing appearance get into "looksmaxxing". Professionals look for ways to improve their productivity and optimize every minute of every day.
But this time, we here at Bored Panda decided to look into another type of life hacks. We're talking everyday life pro tips, but wackier; tricks to make mundane things like losing your keys easier but with a slightly unhinged twist.
That's why we went through the answers under two posts – one from Threads, another from r/CasualConversation – and picked the wildest we could find. We found people who cut their pizzas with scissors, decluttering hacks involving poop, and advice about how to keep your bathroom cleaner.
So, if you want to diversify your folder of clever everyday tricks, scroll down and save these ASAP!

If you have stuff to do after work just go do it. Don't have a bit of a sit down and a break because you'll lose all motivation to get it done.

Wait a good 15~20 years at least after talking to someone to get your revenge plan in motion. Far fewer people will suspect you.

I never preheat the oven when making a frozen pizza. I put it in the oven, turn it on and add 4 minutes to the time on the package. It always comes out with a perfectly crisp crust.

Get a wireless vacuum cleaner, vacuuming becomes fun and is way easier than with a traditional unit. Doesn’t even have to be a Dyson, other brands work just fine.

I don't know how weird this is, but we use clothes pegs to seal open bags of things in the pantry and fridge to keep them fresh, e.g. chips, bags of mixed salad, etc. It works really well. .

If I have to take something to work that won't fit in my purse, I'll put my keys with that item (and yes, even if it's in the fridge, lol). So when I go to leave and look for my keys, I'll remember.

Spring clean one cupboard or shelf a week. By that I mean empty, sort, toss, wipe down and put things back in an orderly way. A little bit every week soon adds up. Your home looks great and it’s so great to be able to find things without digging around for them.

If you suffer from procrastination or anxiety , split what you want to do into small tasks then focus on the task not the primary objective to avoid escalating things in your mind
Sometimes our minds exaggerate things in order to protect us from disappointment and change which leads to resistance.

I don't really get criticised for this, but noone else seems to find it particularly interesting, so...

I try to always clip my nails right after a shower. They're softer after prolonged water exposure (in line with 'pruny hands'). It makes them cut cleaner and easier (yes, even the big toe), and they don't fly across the room.

Leave your phone downstairs and just get an alarm clock - no going downstairs until you’ve showered/are out of your pyjamas.
