Sometimes we rack our brains over trivial things so much that they suddenly become difficult. It’s a good idea to slow down, take a sip of tea, and look at your situation differently. That’s how these 14 people found great solutions to their initially complicated problems.
1. “Got tired of my family not washing their cups. Now we put bands around them. I end up washing fewer dishes.”
2. “My odd sock box — every time a lonely sock appears in the washing cycle, it goes here, hoping to one day be reunited.”
3. “Use baking sheets to polish your faucets and other chrome details.”
4. “Chopstick + 2 rubber bands = all the toothpaste in the tube”
5. “I use a hairpin to mark the end of my duct tape.”
6. “Pizza cutters are an underutilized kitchen utensil.”
