9 Tricks To Improve Your Life

1 Clean Cat Hair in a Pinch

PETS We love our pets, but removing their fur from every piece of fabric in the house can be a major pain.

Try this: Grab a dryer sheet (either new or used will work), and swipe it across whatever piece of furniture or item of clothing you’re trying to clean. The textured cloth will suck the fur right off.

2 Remember More of What You Read

LEARNING With so much information available online, it’s easy to pick up a few new facts each day. But how many of them do you remember? If your answer is “not many,” consider converting your Internet browser’s font to Sans Forgetica. This new typeface is just hard enough to read that it prompts your brain to engage in deeper processing, and that, according to researchers at RMIT University in Australia, can help you remember more. Download it at sansforgetica.rmit.
