Ready to supercharge your day? You've come to the right place! A few times a week, I’ll drop 5 quick and powerful life hacks in your inbox, simple tricks to make your day smoother, smarter, and more fun.

Here’s today’s daily dose of life hacks 💡…

1. Make Guests Feel Instantly at Home
Want your guests to feel relaxed the second they walk in? Open things before they arrive — toilet paper, toothpaste, chips, juice, anything that’s sealed. An open bag of chips feels like “help yourself,” while a closed one feels like “hands off.” Small touches make your home feel warm and welcoming.

2. Beat the Chatbot Wait Game
When chatting with online support, always reply to every message, even if it’s just “thanks.” Each reply restarts their timer, which means you’ll get faster responses and move up the queue. A simple “got it” can turn a 20-minute chat into 5.

Learn AI in 5 minutes a day

This is the easiest way for a busy person wanting to learn AI in as little time as possible:

  1. Sign up for The Rundown AI newsletter

  2. They send you 5-minute email updates on the latest AI news and how to use it

  3. You learn how to become 2x more productive by leveraging AI

3. Don’t Get Soaked on a Used Car Deal
After a major hurricane, many flood-damaged cars hit the used market. Protect yourself by checking for musty smells, rust under seats, dirt in tight crevices, and water stains under the carpet. A quick inspection today can save you thousands tomorrow.

4. Work Hack: You’re the CEO of You
Your boss can open doors, but you’re the one who has to walk through them. Don’t wait for someone to hand you growth, chase it. Set personal goals, learn new things, and take charge of your own progress.

5. Stop the Mystery Expiration Dates
Ever lose track of when you opened the jam or cheese? Use a chalk marker to write the “throw out” date right on the container. It wipes off easily and saves you from playing “is this still good?” roulette.
