It’s time again for another week of Life Hack Lab!
Something magical happened while I was testing the life hack
this week. For the first time, I’ve found a hack that I actually intend to keep
using.
I don’t mean to make it seem like the life hacks on this
blog up to this point were all bad. Whether it’s been breaking apples
in half, poking
holes in strawberries or even organizing
charger chords, I have certainly tested a few good life hacks so far on
Life Hack Lab.
However, none of the previous passed life hacks compare to
the simplicity and usefulness of this week’s life hack.
Now that I’ve sufficiently overhyped this hack let’s dive in.
Car Cellphone Holder:
I’m a millennial. I’ve never used a paper map while driving
before. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if you handed it to me. I use my
IPhone GPS app to go anywhere I haven’t been before.
Sometimes using my phone to navigate gets tricky. It’s not
like I can hold my phone the entire time I’m driving. Usually I set it don on
the seat next to me and listen for instructions on where to turn next. This is
a problem because the phone has this annoying tendency to slide all over the
place while I’m driving.
I suppose I could get an IPhone holder that clips to an
air-blower in my car. Or, I could use this simple life hack.
All you need for this one is a rubber band, a phone and a
car to drive. You wrap the rubber band around one of the blower shutters and
slide your phone in the two loops that form. This will hold your phone in place
perfectly.
I won’t lie. It took me a minute or two to get the rubber
band through the shutters but once it was there everything worked just right.
No longer will I have to risk my life fishing for my phone on
the floor while dodging traffic on the highway. With this life hack the GPS is at
eye-level to the driver for a hands-free navigation experience.
Maybe this hack is specifically useful for me in my life but
it will work for anyone else who struggles while using their cellphone GPS in
the car.
