5 Tips / Hacks You'd Surely Find Use For in Life

While a lot of stuff happens in the digital space these days, there's of course a lot that still exists in the real, physical world (thankfully).

1. Coffee cubes!

2. Need to drill a hole in the wall? Catch the mess easily - with a Post-It!

3. Keep those spare cables and wires tidied up!

4. Handy Ice Pack!

5. Cook a perfect fried egg!

[Things may have changed since, and hope that these folks are kind enough to provide a revised infographic!]

So, if you are a twitter user, find out which group you come under, and maybe use this to figure out how others use twitter too!
