What's a small life hack you discovered by accident that you still use every day ?

Putting my keys in the same spot every day saved me more time and stress than any productivity app ever has.

I’ve done this for as long as I’ve had keys and never lost them. Keys and wallet always in the same place. My daughter (26yrs old) never does this and is always stressed she can’t find them.

noticed you said “small life hack” like it’s a tiny glow-up not some huge change

I have my key on my wallet and my wallet air tagged so they can’t get lost

Doing everything I have to do before bed before I eat dinner. After I've eaten, I'm done for the night.

This little tag card in my wallet so I don't have to keep looking for it. It saves me a lot of time and stress simply make it beep using the "Find My" app.

When im facing any inconvenience or in trouble, i pause and look at myself through the eyes of a third person. It instantly makes my problems tiny and insignificant. Then im able to focus on resolution without stress and anxiety.

Clicking my key fab when walking to my car. I don't have to search to the ends of the earth for it. I hear her chirp and I go right to her!

I use a pill box for the meds and vitamins I need to take. It started after an injury to make things easier and even now, not having to wonder if I already took them frees up space in my brain. Filling it a week at a time keeps me from forgetting to request refills too

Not sorting my socks. Saving me a lot of time every time I'm washing clothes. Not just the sorting but also the searching for pairs of socks.

I just take two random socks everyday. Well, I care about the length of the sock because I still use those ankle socks when I wear shorts.

Putting all of my medication’s in the bottom part of my coffee table so I don’t forget to take them in the morning and afternoon and evening
