383. No More Stinky Containers  

Tired of your storage containers smelling funky? Before putting them away, toss in a pinch of salt and shut the lid.

The salt absorbs any lingering odors, keeping the inside air fresh and clean. This works because salt is a natural desiccant, meaning it absorbs moisture.

When moisture is controlled, it reduces the environment where bacteria can thrive, thus preventing bad odors.

384. Test Your Mechanic's Reliability

Want to see if your car mechanic is trustworthy? Change your air filters before taking your car in for a check.

Air filters are one of the most common upsell tactics that a car mechanic will try, and most of the times we just agree because we don’t know jack about car air filtration (at least I don’t).

This way if your mechanic says you need new air filters (that are brand new) it's a red flag and probably time to find another mechanic.

385. Try A 4-Day Work Week

Got some vacation time but can't travel? Try turning your job into a 4-day work week once a month. It’s a great mental break and something to look forward to.

You'll feel more refreshed, reduce burnout, and best of all, you’ll skip the Monday blues and start your workweek on a Tuesday.

This change can significantly boost your productivity and overall job satisfaction. By giving yourself an extended weekend, you have more time to recharge and pursue personal interests, like a mini vacation every week!
