10. Turn Hangers Backwards
At the start of the year, turn all your hangers backward. After you wear an item, return the hanger to its usual position. By year-end, you’ll know which clothes you haven’t worn and can consider donating them.

Use a decorative box or a drawer to create a hidden charging station. Drill holes for cables and keep all your devices charged and out of sight.
12. Use a Shoe Organizer for Cleaning Supplies
Hang a shoe organizer on the back of a door to store cleaning supplies. It keeps everything in one place and frees up valuable cabinet space.

When you’re grilling, wrap a few wet wipes in tin foil and place them on the edge of the grill. They’ll heat up and be ready to clean sticky hands quickly.
15. Double Your Closet Space with Soda Can Tabs
Hang soda can tabs on your hangers to double your closet space. The tabs create an additional hook for another hanger, maximizing vertical storage.
16. Prevent Bathroom Fog with Shaving Cream
Rub a thin layer of shaving cream on your bathroom mirror and wipe it off with a clean cloth. This prevents fogging and keeps your mirror clear after hot showers.
17. Use a Lint Roller for Dusting
A lint roller is perfect for dusting lampshades, shelves, and hard-to-reach places. It picks up dust and debris quickly without the hassle of a duster.

Store an apple with your potatoes to prevent them from sprouting. The ethylene gas from the apple helps keep the potatoes fresh for longer.

Stay hydrated by marking your water bottle with times to drink throughout the day. This simple trick helps you track your water intake and ensures you’re drinking enough.
