The Ultimate Book of Life Hacks: Top Tips for Better Living (Ann Omasta non-fiction) Kindle Edition

I had read Ann Omasta's fiction before, so I was surprised to see a nonfiction book by her at one of my favorite book review sites. But I'm glad I picked it up. This is a fun and easy-read collection of hacks for different aspects of life. After a brief definition of what a life hack is and how they can so easily slip through our fingers as we see them on places like Facebook or random websites, the author divides the hack section by category like home, kitchen, work, pets, kids, clothing, etc. The hacks within each section are very random, although on occasion two will be tied together, like if number 47 doesn't work out, maybe number 48 will. (By the way, that isn't actually taken from the book, so don't go looking for those numbers!) Some were definitely ones I knew from my own experience or had heard of elsewhere, but others were completely new. I particularly enjoyed the kitchen section as I'm always looking for ways to better organize my space or help with other aspects of food and the kitchen. One I loved here was about how to use binder clips to hang opened freezer bags off the shelf above. As a single person, I always have a number of little bags in the freezer that I close with binder clips already. I will try this hack for sure so I can make use of some of that extra air as well as prevent those toe-crunching moments when a freezer package falls out when the door opens. A fun collection of life hacks.I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review. I later "purchased" it for free on Amazon.

There actually are some good tips in this book that I haven’t already heard before or figured out through experience. One in particular that I appreciate is taking your unruly computer cords under your desk and securing them with plastic bread bag closure tabs, then labeling the tab with a permanent marking pen so you can determine which cord is which at a glance.

The Ultimate Book of Life Hacks: Top Tips for Better Living was a good read by Ann Omasta and C.M. Love. This book helps give great life hacks that you can use in any aspect of your life. It is great to have all these great tips for life.

Okay

I didn’t find anything I both wanted to try, thought would be effective, and hadn’t seen before. Several ideas met one or two of those conditions, but none had all three.I think this is the wrong format for life hacks both generally and specific to this book. It caught my interest, but the internet is full of similar stuff and easier to digest in small instant doses than in book form. This book could benefit from a better layout and different font. It feels to dense and cramped on my kindle.

Not much to dislike ,just bitsize pieces of info

This is a little different for this author and I was a bit surprised, pleasantly. This book has a few good tips I didn’t know.it basically takes an assortment of “hacks” and puts them in an easy-to-manage chapter list. I have read or seen many of them prior but it’s nice having them in one place. The author has taken both the helpful oldies and some new ones at your fingertips and all in one place for your convenience.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

There are hacks that are some that you’ve heard of but some that you think are cleaves or a duh I should have thought of that! A must read!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Always handy to have a quick read of the many many hacks that were available, and there are always loads to use

Many of the ideas in the book were ones I use already, or at least know about. But there were a few that were eye-openers; I've tested a couple and they really work.Very useful to have them all well organized in one book. Highly recommend.
