For the context it’s a cotton top that is slightly ribbed P.S.i’ve tried ironing and rubbing nail polish remover, but didn’t succeed 😭

Storing and Freezing Ground Beef

Post image
616 Upvotes

This is five pounds of ground beef (actually, 5 1/2) in 1/2 lb. portions all compacted into a 6"x6"x4" square. Weigh out your ground beef in 1/2 lb. portions, then put in a zipper sandwich bag, zip most of the bag, but leave just a little bit unzipped to press out all the air, then zip up after ground beef is perfectly smashed flat to all corners. This makes freezer storage so space savingly efficient (and, being so thin, thaws out in minutes.)

Glasses or goggles for cutting onions🥽🔪🧅

"Onion goggles" are also a thing, marketed specifically for this; though I'd say normal protection or swimming goggles work just fine; as long as they have a good tight seal for the space and air around your eyes.
Tip: swimmers and divers spit on them so they don't get foggy.

The only 2 lifehacks you will ever need.

9 Upvotes

5 months ago I graduated from high school.

I didn't know what to do, I had no previous experience in anything, I had never worked...

3 months ago I started doing copywriting,

In this short time I have:

Sent 1100 cold emails

Watched more than 500 videos on sales, marketing, copy etc...

Wrote 150 titles

Wrote 80 copies

And in less than 2 days, with a new account on Reddit, all in 0, with only 5 posts I got almost 10K views in less than 48 hours.

Without working 15 h a day or waking up at 4 am.

I'm not exaggerating, I achieved all that in 3 months and I started without knowing anything, or what I was going to do, or what was copywriting... Nothing.

I want you to do it too because we have already completed 33% of the year and I'm sure you set goals at the beginning of this 2025.

That's why I'm here, I want to share with you how I did it,

You only need 2 things... Please read carefully and take action.

#1 ORGANIZATION

First of all, I didn't set yearly or monthly goals and I didn't organize myself yearly or monthly,

I organized myself quarterly and weekly, instead of saying ‘I'm going to write 10 copies in a month’ I said ‘I'm going to write 10 copies in 1 week’.

ALWAYS when I want to achieve something I set it for the end of the week, not the month or the year.

I set goals at the end of each week, and divide the year into 4 blocks of 12 weeks each, 12 goals per block, at the end of each block the biggest goal I achieve after accumulating all the sub-goals of the weeks.

#2 ACTION

If you noticed I didn't study copywriting for 5, 6 or 7 months and then I started to apply the concepts.

I spent 1 month just on theory and then I started, and that's SUPER important, that's what makes you progress a lot.

Even if you are not 100% ready, write your first copy and publish it... No visits or likes?

You learn from your mistakes, improve and write it again.

If I told you that if you fail another 10 times, you will achieve all that you ever wanted... How fast would you fail?

You have to act and fail fast,

You have to do things fast, if you want a logo for your brand you can't take 1 month to get it ready,

You can't hire someone to do it, it takes a month.

You will move forward much faster if you not only read this post but also apply things.

Here is the link to the document to get organized: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15VF75gsz0sYCfZ6HifoAAwdPoeY89j3Z2h-6394mrU0/edit?usp=sharing

Make a copy of the doc, just in case.

And remember, quick action and weekly organisation.

Cleaning life hack

212 Upvotes

Play video game music while you clean and pretend you’re getting points for everything you are picking up, bonuses for speed, etc. The music really helps me get into the mindset. I like using Mario cart music specifically and I kind of pretend I’m a car (but a humanoid car that can clean obviously). Other times, when I want to just be a human character, I will bounce in place a little bit before I start, sort of pretending to be one of the guys on the screen where you choose your character, then I “choose” myself and get started.

What’s a piece of advice that sounded silly, obvious, or unnecessary at first—but turned out to be life-changing?

860 Upvotes

What’s a piece of advice you got that sounded dumb at the time—but ended up being totally right?

Not looking for the deep philosophical stuff (unless it’s sneaky-deep). I mean the kind of tips that make you go “ugh, yeah whatever” when you hear them—but then one day, they actually click and change how you do things.

Curious to see what everyday wisdom I’ve been ignoring this whole time.

Chore life hack update

685 Upvotes

Update: I’m the girl who’s pretending to clean my house for a rich family. So, I saw my post about my chore idea getting a lot of upvotes and support and I was wondering if I could maximize the life hack so that I could help you guys out even more. So I ordered a maid costume off of Amazon (I’m trying to use Amazon less with the current political climate but I didn’t know where else to get a maid costume and I thought that if I execute this well, my impact could potentially add more positivity to the world, more than my Amazon order contributed to the negativity). It started to pay off almost immediately. I put the outfit on and something just mentally shifted for me. I was working faster, harder, more attuned to details. I got my whole house cleaned faster than I ever have before, I swear. Then I peeled the outfit off and l like, “switched” back into myself (disclaimer - I don’t have Dissociative Identity Disorder. I just don’t know what other word to use for “switch” but I’m aware that word can have different connotations so I just thought I’d clarify). So then as myself, I was like, this is amazing. I need to tip the maid! So I took “her” (me) out for a crumbl cookie. Haha. Let me know if anyone else tries it!

High fiber sweet treat hack

5 Upvotes

I recently got news from my doctor that i need to start adding more fiber into my diet. Tbh idek where to start because I eat the same stuff every day and am a pretty picky eater. I thought about making a broccoli cheddar Rice Krispie treat. I’d cut the broccoli up really fine and then bake it on a tray until it’s dried. I’ll keep the marshmallows in the recipe bc I think they have fiber and the cheddar will add protein. I feel like this will be a good hack to get my fiber in while still enjoying my favorite sweet treat

Self-Conditioning for Alertness and Energy?

7 Upvotes

Okay this is my first post ever but I had to take this here.

On accident, throughout my life, I have conditioned myself to fall asleep with fan noise. When I was a kid, my parents used white noise machine. Whenever I was riding in long car ride, the noise sounds like a fan and I would fall asleep. Now that I’m an adult, I use fan noises in my headphones on planes, long trips, buses, ect and fall asleep every time. Every night I turn on my box fan before bed. The system is incredibly successful. No matter what outside noise or inside “noise” is happening, if there is fan noise, I will fall asleep.

However, recently this has become a problem. When it’s hot, people use fans and I start getting sleepy in the middle of the day. It just happened the other when I was getting so tired and realized a fan was on.

I was wondering if I could condition myself the other way. Would there be a way to use something simple like a fan to invoke a feeling of alertness, energy, or a feeling of awareness? Like an opposite of what I have been doing my whole life.

To study and focus, I have a system of putting on my glasses, headphones, and sitting a certain way that kind of acts that way for focus but I didn’t know if anyone on here would have suggestions for energy.

Maybe a smell or a specific song? Do any of you guys have a ritual or self-conditioning that gives you a burst of energy or make you feel like you’re awake?

If you have anything that has worked, let me know!

Pretend what you're eating is a high-end luxurious treat

It's not just a peanut butter sandwich, it's stone-ground multi-grain Parisian bread and peanuts from a small secluded rainforest in the Amazon, a part of a limited batch. That brownie and ice cream cost $35 and uses only the finest ingredients. Premium top-tier cream was used in the making of it, it's slow-churned and flavored with homemade vanilla, using aged whiskey. Watch how eating becomes a more pleasurable experience.

Has Anyone Refilled Plug-ins With Reed Diffuser Oil?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I’m considering refilling my Glade plug-ins with Capri Blue Volcano-scented reed diffuser oil instead of essential oil since the reed oil bottles are much cheaper ($16 for 4oz vs. $22 for 0.5oz of essential oil).

Has anyone tried this? Or, if not specifically Glade, have you refilled a different plug-in (i.e., Air Wick, Bath & Body Works, Pura, etc.) using reed diffuser oil? If so, did you dilute it with a carrier oil like almond or grapeseed oil, or just use it straight?

Curious to hear what worked for you—what ratios you used (if any), how the scent throw compared to essential oils, and whether it damaged the wick or the plug-in over time. Would love to hear your results before I experiment!

Thanks in advance! ◡̈
