Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier

We managed to get in touch with FloydianCrazyDiamond and the Redditor was really happy her post exploded so quickly.

"I was lying on the sofa with my cats after a long day of work, mindlessly watching YouTube and thinking about how difficult life can be sometimes," FloydianCrazyDiamond told Bored Panda about the origins of her publication.

"There's always a never-ending list of things to do and you can barely catch a breath! So I thought I'd ask other women for life hacks in all sorts of fields, so that maybe it could make our lives a little bit easier, save us some time, or give us peace of mind."

The internet culture archive Know Your Meme noted that the term "life hack" was coined by tech journalist Danny O'Brien on October 23rd, 2003 on his blog Oblomovka where he described his research on the subject.

But over the years, we've reached a point where "life hack" can mean virtually anything. The phrase is tossed around mercilessly by publishers who want to milk it for clicks and it is even a name for a meme, mocking... itself.

However, as you can see, you can still find good advice on the internet if you look hard enough. Or ask people kindly. "A lot of the comments were really helpful tips," FloydianCrazyDiamond said.

"I think the hacks that kept showing up were in the personal hygiene category," the author of the post said. "There were also a notable amount of inspirational comments, of women sharing their own experiences and how their decisions changed their lives for the better."

Going through the replies to her now-viral post, FloydianCrazyDiamond thought the tip to keep a backup bag of essentials in your car was especially cool. "It's such a simple thing that we don't think about doing, but it could really save your day. Just be careful not to leave anything that's in a pressurized container in the car, as it might explode."

"A lot of the hacks were things I already do, like cleaning as I cook, and using conditioner instead of shaving cream, etc," the Redditor added. "I love how the post got a lot of comments and I'm sure many of us got at least one thing useful out of it."
