Life Hack to Hack Your Life
Hosting hack: fewer “courses,” more “stations” — your kitchen will thank you.
Budget hack: filter gifts by “under $25” first, then pick the “feels expensive” winner.
Time hack: prep the non-food stuff tonight (playlist, trash bags, serving tools). Tomorrow-you wins.
Travel hack: roll soft items, fold stiff items, and keep one “airport layer” on top.
Mood hack: plan one no-screen night activity — it resets your brain faster than you think.
Money hack: even if you’re not buying, use rate trends to time big home projects and lender promos.
Budget hack: pick one “wow” gift + two “use-every-day” gifts — feels generous without chaos.
Money mindset hack: don’t doomscroll prices — set one 10-minute “money admin” block instead.
Clarity hack: read one recap source daily, not five hot takes.
Sanity hack: buy 2 “universal backups” now (candles, premium snacks) for surprise invites.
