25 Helpful Tips and Tricks For Everyday Life

Life is hard enough as it is, so whenever I come across some helpful tip that makes it just a little easier to get through my day, you best believe I'm taking it!

I'm a huge believer in the power of working smarter, not harder. Growing up, I was sometimes accused of being lazy, but I prefer the term "efficient." After all, Bill Gates himself once said that if you want to get something done in the fastest, easiest way possible, assign that task to a "lazy" person because they WILL find a way to reduce redundancies and get the job done with as little sweat as possible.
