In this post, we’re going to remind you of things you’ve been doing wrong in your entire life. What you did might not wrong, but to break your echo chamber, we can offer you a better solution for it.
If you ready to fix your old school ways of doing things, take a look on below life hacks!
1. Fit More Space Inside The Microwave at Once
A limited space in the microwave always makes us wait longer if you have more food to heat. If you’re heating up your food for two, one person is always going to be left with food that is cooled down during the time the other’s food is in the microwave.
If you still doing above, you’ve been doing that wrong! You can actually heat two dishes in the same time with the help of a mug.
First, place an upside down mug besides a dish and put the second dish on top of the mug. This will allow you to put two dishes and heat it at the same time. Make sure nobody is stuck with lukewarm leftovers!
2. Rubber Band Technique
If your finger injured and you rub it with the rubber band like picture above, you’ve been doing it the wrong way! The reason is, by wrapping your finger that way, it will make your finger hard to bend and move around which leads to slow down the blood circulation.
Take a scissor and cut a single line on both rubber band’s side such as below:
Then, put on the rubber band on the scar area and stick it in zigzag way such as below:
This way, you will be more relieved as your finger can move and even breath easier!
3. Putting Straw in Cans
If you like to use straw while drinking from a drink can, you will understand the annoying feeling when your straw is keeping moving left and right as you move, making you harder to enjoy your drink.
Once you opened your can, grab the steel opener in the centre of the can and turn it 180 degree like picture below.
Put the straw and insert it inside the hole from the steel opener. Now your straw will be steady and calm for you to enjoy your drink!
4. Holding Pizza Technique So It Won’t Mess
When eating pizza, are you still holding your pizza like the left picture above? If you hold like that, chances are some of the topping will start to drop as the other edge of the pizza is facing down.
The correct way to hold your pizza is to take both back side of the pizza, and fold it into the middle. By doing this, it will force the other edge of pizza to be in the straight line and keep the topping on top.
5. Pour Milk into The Snack Bowl Without Splash
Having a cereal is never enough without milk. But when pouring the milk into your cereal bowl, do you encounter one of the annoying thing: the milk bounced back, splash and mess the surrounding?
