We all know that there are 24 hours in a day and that is all you get. Many of us have found that 24 hours is often not enough, so here are 5 tricks to make your life easier and probably impress those around you with your intelligence.

  1. Middle clicking with the scroll wheel on a link will open that link in a new tab. This saves you from having to right click a link and then click open in new tab.
  2. Keep track of birthday gift ideas on your cell phone. When somebody mentions an item they want - put a note of it in your phone. That way when their birthday comes you'll have a list of gift ideas.
  3. If you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night cover one of your eyes so you don't lose your 'night vision' when you turn the light on. I've heard they teach this in the military.
  4. Open bananas from the bottom. I've head this one a ton...but still don't do it, but apparently it is easier.
  5. Squeezing your thumb helps reduce your gag reflex. When you're brushing your tongue, eating gross food, or anything that makes you gag, make a fist with your other hand, tuck your thumb into it, and squeeze.

Do you have any helpful hints to share that can save precious moments and our sanity?
