Life is hard. Which is why god invented life hacks to help you with the simple problems in life 'How could i have come this far in my life without using any of these?' i hear some of you asking yourselves. Well, the answer could be because you haven't thought about the problem long enough, prayed (or cursed) to the right god, or it could be because you are just dumb, so take your pick.

But fear not as we show you some ingenious low-budget tips and tricks to make your life just a little bit simpler and a whole lot easier (obviously not ones like the examples above).

Some of these won't apply but I guarantee that at least one or two will become part of your everyday life and will make you day run a lot smoother.

Life hacking refers to any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life. It is arguably a modern appropriation of a gordian knot - in other words, anything that solves an everyday problem in an inspired, ingenious manner. Coined in the 1980s in hacker culture, the term became popularized in the blogosphere and is primarily used by computer experts who suffer from information overload or those with a playful curiosity in the ways they can accelerate their workflow in ways other than programming.
