Summary

“Show me the life hack you randomly saw one day, that is now an unconscious, standard practice in your life.” That’s the call to action Kelly Hurst posed on TikTok that has since gone viral with over 37,000 responses and millions of views. People have created ingenious shortcuts for all kinds of tasks, from using the car seat warmer to keep takeout warm to using the washing machine as an ice bucket for parties. Life hacks can be anything that saves time, effort or money and takes the friction out of your day. We’ll talk to Hurts and a panel of journalists and life hackers who will share the best (and worst) tips out there, and we’ll hear from you: What’s a life hack that you’ve adopted? Guests: Carly Severn, senior editor of audience news, KQED Jordan Calhoun, editor-in-chief, Lifehacker.com Kelly Hurst, content creator, TikTok; host, The Life Bath podcast Ross Yoder, food and lifestyle editor, Buzzfeed Learn more about your ad choices.
