9 tricks to Improve Your Life*
1 Charge Your Phone Faster
TECHNOLOGY To boost your battery more quickly, turn on aeroplane mode. That pauses your phone’s ‘background noise’ (such as random notifications and GPS roaming), which tends to drain the battery. The extra juice won’t be much, but when you’re in a hurry, every little bit helps.
2 Save a Tooth That Has Been Knocked Out
HEALTH If a permanent tooth is accidentally knocked out of your mouth, don’t panic. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface) only and avoid touching the root. Gently rinse off any debris and stick it back in your mouth if you can. If not, put it in a cup of milk or contact lens solution (not water!), and get to a dentist as soon as possible so it can be reimplanted.
