Welcome life squad!


It's Tiarni, Catherine, Oliver and Alex and we all wish to welcome you to our blog!

We are creating this blog to give you all great life hacks that you can use in everyday life including aspects like beauty, cars, study tips and computers. 

You may not know much about us yet but here's an introduction to each member.


Tiarni
Hey guys! I'm Tiarni as noted above and a random fact about me is that i'm only 4'9", i know, it's short. That fact may not have been a life hack but its a getting to know you process where I would now tell you about what i enjoy.

I have a love for beauty and makeup so of course you will see some great posts about ways to make your everyday makeup journey a lot faster if you can get lazy or run out of time just like I do! My time management may be poor but I know how to throw on some makeup in a couple minutes because of it!! I also am greatly interested in cars and so if you don't see Alex posting about them, then you may see me giving you a few pointers to pimp out your  ride!


Catherine
Hi everyone! I'm Catherine and a random fact is that I like to hand sew pencil cases. 

I know studying can be really difficult, and you often don't know where to start. Here at Life Hacks 101, we will be sharing a couple of tips, including those that I have picked up so far. Please feel free to share your own tips as we go through this journey together!


Oliver
Hey guys, I'm Oliver and I am your average computer nerd. Fortunately for you, the many late nights spent browsing the web has allowed me to uncover many of the hidden secrets of computers and the internet.

Ranging from increased Google search capabilities to recovering potentially lost documents, there are so many ways to increase your online ability. These computer hacks won't get you in trouble with law enforcement, but they will blow your mind.


Alex
Hi guys, the name is Alex. I enjoy hanging out with my mates and going on bike cruises. While Tiarni enjoys cars, I enjoy motorbikes. I'll be giving you guys some great life hacks and advice on essentials to carry with you on any journey you take as well as random life hacks. 


That's all from us today but make sure to stay tuned for posts almost everyday from us!
Here are the days we post:
Monday: Tiarni
Wednesday: Oliver
Thursday: Catherine
Saturday: Alex

See you guys soon!

Google Chrome Tricks

Hey guys, Today I wanted finish up on Google Chrome with some individual tricks that can be very useful. These aren’t really related to one specific topic, but are great tricks to remember. The first trick is using alt+left arrow and alt+right arrow to go backwards and forwards a page respectively. This is extremely useful as it allows you to quickly navigate through pages and maximise your time, especially for research tasks where this is vital. The second trick is the use of ctrl+k or ctrl+e , which allows for you to perform a Google search from any webpage. This is great as you can quickly access new information if you are unsure of something whilst researching, shopping online, or just casually browsing the internet. Using ctrl+k will achieve a similar result by selecting all of what is in the URL bar. The final trick is related to the second one, in that it allows you to quickly search for websites. The use of ctrl+enter will automatically finish the web address for y...

Note-taking Tips

These note-taking tips are really helpful when listening to lectures/readings when making notes. Develop or use symbols and abbreviations. I would recommend keeping a key, such as the example below at the beginning of your book just in case you forget what the symbols mean. Image from: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/66/78/0b66783e9dcf8a93bc6f50a7ad214991.jpg Another tip to use the Cornell Note-taking method. Simply divide your notes into 3 sections.  -           The right column is the general notes area. The notes area is where you keep the most important ideas the teacher covered. Try to summarise this as much as possible. -           The left column is the cues area. This is where you write notes in the margins to help you understand the main ideas. -           The bottom section is the summary . This is where you ...

Mnemonic devices: Remember me?

Mnemonic devices are actually really useful tricks to have up your sleeve. Now, you may have heard of this technique, but could not remember or spell the word! So, what is it? It is using a pattern of letters or ideas which assist you in remembering something. It does work! Well, I still remember the taxonomy hierarchy (learnt in Year 8) from this simple phrase: K ind p eople c an o ften f ind g reen s hoes. K ingdom, P hylum, C lass, O rder, F amily, G enus and S pecies.  photo from:  https://www.polyvore.com/converse_canvas_allstar_hi_kids/thing?id=89651940 Perhaps you remember a more common mnemonic in Maths. For instance, when you had to do Order of Operations when using BODMAS or PEDMAS .  photo from:  https://literaryterms.net/mnemonic/ You can use a rhyme, or use it to make it into a word! Why not give it a go! What are you going to try and memorise?   Catherine
