45 Hacks That Will Speed Up Anyone's Daily Routine

The daily routine can easily become the daily grind if the things you have to do are tedious or frustrating. In order to get around such problems, we often use something we like to call "hacks." Life hacks, as it were. Whatever it is you have to do each day, this list of nifty life hacks is sure to make your daily routine less of a grind and more of a breeze.

If you've got long, singular hairs on your face that really need to go and don't have any better way of doing it, you can actually use thread to get them. Granted, you'll need to twist around a bunch of thread, form an hourglass shape, and perfect the technique of perfectly catching those hairs between them, but it's an option. Of course, if you had to cut a piece of thread with a sharp blade of some sort to begin with, then chances are you could also just use that. This hack is probably more of something to try for fun than top efficiency.

Is your razor too dull to clean your legs, face, or whatever part of your body needs trimming? You don't need to throw it away and replace it. You can lay out a pair of denim jeans and slide the blades down the fabric to sharpen them up for better performance. Of course, this won't keep your razor going forever, but it will extend its durability by a bit, meaning you won't have to buy replacement blades quite as frequently.

Need to get a shell off of a boiled egg as quickly and painlessly as possible? Peel the tip of the shell off, then lift it up to your mouth and blow as hard as you can. If you perfect this technique, you can blow the egg white right out of the opposite end of the shell. Of course, we wouldn't recommend doing this if you are going to have someone else eat that egg, but if it's for you, it's not like there's any harm in it.

Do you have trouble getting your USB to go into the port the right way every time? Well, simply mark the side of the USB with a permanent marker so you know which way is up, and you won't ever have that problem again. A simple solution for a simple problem. If you want, you could mark the computer as well to be double sure, but honestly that's not exactly needed to achieve the desired end result.
