This week in may , it was my turn to judge my questions and the entries.
I want you to tell me about a life changing "hack" (a trick or shortcut that makes your life easier), the one that changed your life totally. Be inspiring to me and other readers. It can be any hack or change you made. It must be a thing YOU DID, YOURSELF! Tell me how it worked and what was needed. Did it cost you time, money, etc.? And how long did it last?
That was my question to the ladies of hive for week 135. I did many the past 2,5 years that the community is life. I always have fun entering and judging so this time I wanted to explain my hacks after the contest was over. I decided to incorporate the other entries and ladies shared hacks into this blog just for fun.
I judge and keep score, I look at rep, i look at what a blog made, I look at words written, and if the lady kept to the rules. This time I also wrote the hacks from the different ladies and this is wat the endresult is. I will add all the ladies that entered week 135 and their hacks but please when i wrote or interpreted something wrong let me know.
I used @ECENCY DECKS to do this massive task and I wanted to tell you where you can find decks by this screen shot. Also check WAVES all new ecency options you will like !

Now back to my initial contest question. I love life and I like to do as much as needed. `When all is done, in every part of my life I am relaxed., I dont want to feel that something is not done. Ofcourse i have a huge family to help me with many aspects of our life so don’t worry I am not doing all alone.
As I said share your life changing "hack" (a trick or shortcut that makes your life easier) well I have a few !
FREE:
- saying no ~ its my hack to have time for things, you just cannot say yes to everything. No is No , yes just like the metoo movement.
- sleeping 6-7 hours minimal everyday
- saving pennies and quarters to do a in holland weekender holiday
- I hand sets of clothing ready for two days , and shower the night before and when needed wash and dry my hair , to save time.
- I make lists, for time management to set goals but also for the groceries and chores.
- I cook detergent , the smell of detergent on the stove is amazing and gives a me a good feeling. Also making apple pie which will also let the house smell amazing. Lovely when you have visitors coming. After that you can eat it ofcourse
- kids have 5 chores a week, to learn and give me extra “free” time.
- draft and photograph for hive , which will turn into blogs that make hive ( hopefully )
COST MONEY :
- A will, its a reassuring for me and the costs are not that bad.
- journal, I buy a nice one , not cheap but I use it daily.
- We invest for the kids, its a savings strategy we like and when they are 20 they can buy a car or something big, to help them on their way to the job for instance.
- Education, podcasts , webinars or courses
- I make year books with photos , to see what we can be grateful for.
I learned from the ladies some things I didn't see as hacks but they are.
- cook fast
- give to charity
- power naps with music to relax
- dog walks
- sewing, drawing and diy to relax
The ladies that entered like @belena2128 does timemanagement aswell, together with her bf and her pet, she has the digital agenda , and is a foodprepper. Hive for her made a notorious change with drafts. That made her able to earn on hive. @blacktarri wrote she is simple and accommodating, in her account header. I can say , girl you are much more. And with blogs you can build your confidence. And your skin is beautiful! I read @bluevibes ’s blog and was envious about her color coordinated clothes, i wish I could make that happen in my house.
@carminasalazarte I have to look up “gestalt” you as a bachelor in education. With your blog the importance is shown. Education as a hack thats great! @chelle0891 said attitude vcan be a hack. I like that. And I think that can work in real life and take you wherever you want to go. You are a overthinker i read , and I can say that is age, when you are as old as I am you will know better. You will take your life to the next level I am sure. Good luck
@kattycrochet had 4 hacks! Wow thats amazing, just say take care dont worry , take a piñata and crush it, every action gets a reaction and the last one all is in gods hands. SO TRUE!
@soyannafuentes is vonurable about weight but you are great also after being pregnant , I can know I have 4.
@juva is attracting good energy to believe in yourself. Great hack.
@adaezeinchrist was brought up by only her aunt and school was stopped early but she is in school now and just had exams, you go women! @aimharryianne was in hospital, hope you will share your hacks.
@alizmarpaola thank you for the compliment that LOH has brave, strong and enterprising women in the community , thats a compliment. She is a pre veggie cutter for cooking and i didnt know that when something is put away air tight it stays good for long. So thank you for that hack.
@aurodivys has an agenda and a journal and she keeps the old income to compare to the new ones. She ( just like me ) makes screenshots of important stuf or messages to look at later.
And yes our phones are very important.
@czander i am still not convinced that you blog on your own.
@deisip67 planning is her turning point, but we all need new routines, to not get bored and lazy in all old habits. I love getting acquinted with new routines. Reflection on values, interests and goals even when they change overtime. Authentic and aligned with need and with what you want to achieve, both short and long term. A realistic timeline. Planning gives clarity and focus , so true.
@deraaa is writing about herself and that is appreciated. I write about me aswell. BUT never let a comment or downvote get you down , you are appreciated and blogging about you is what hive appreciates aswell. So be confident you are a great blogger.
Never let a keyboard warrior online be your reality, it will pass. Do what you like. `I am sorry that the water in your 3rd wold country is such a problem. Its unfair, and my question is what costs water?
@dikshabihani google calendar and NOTION , a new for me, i am gonna try that for sure. A shared calendar and with color code.
@elecris05 thank you for the compliment and that you found my question different and super original that is nice.
Reflection as you said is good and costs nothing.
And your 4 hacks are writing, smile every day , daily affirmations and order. Order all I still have to.
@geneleori mader 26 hive while she thought she didn’t have enough hacks to share. She is drawing to relax, has a bullet journal, and does lettering. I did a course and that was fun indeed. @irenenavarroart plastic as part af the crochet projects how cool.
@jacinta.sevilla learning languages what a great life hack, it can help you everywhere you go. And the hula hoop wow I have to take mine from the attic and start using it again.
@janitzearratia is also a pre veggie cutter cook and does gardening to heal. I have yet to find my green fingers!
@jeandri.lespe her hack is sunscreen.
@lady-bellar seing is her hack and can make money when you blog about it.
@nainaztengra remote paying from her place to another country to make sure her son can live is a great one. Because living tension free is the perfect hack.
@emybaby
Her hack is writing as therapy, just like music is for her. Also great for your mental health.
@les90 Its a great story that you wnat to earn your own money thats what i do aswell. Do whatever you need or wnat , always listen to YOU!
@mairene1 our perfectionist but also lover of god and yes perfection does not excist hahah I am the same. Another hiver where health was the turning point. Hive is your turnaround and that is so cool. Congrats hive is your new life.
@marianymendoza the girl who thought the face could be a salad as the therapist told her , that made me laugh a lot. If you have skincare problems her advice see a pro. But what is a perfect skin? Beauty is in the beholder.
@melyxaluna does deep breathing and walking. Walk away from stress.
@mercmarg has a Hawaiian way as het philosophy of life.
Its called hooponopono i will look that up for sure.
Might be life changing and a good blog right there.
@taniagonzalez the hack to teach the kids house rules, perfect.
@threedotz stopped using her car to save money. And plan for better income.
@tifany first timer in te LOH community contest , and also like many Ladies a lister, planner and orginiser.
@yris89 her first LOH blog aswell, she turns negative thoughts around due to CRP, allow, positive mindset and wishes and yes wishes do come true. I will look into CRP some more asap.
@yulilemus she focuses and sets goals on a list so you cannot forget.
And the nicest is crossing of the list that is so satisfying.
Also don’t leave things you can do now to tomorrow if possible, for me a problem most times. But we can always try again tomorrow.
@elentogether and @artgirl GOD is always the solution :)
@jennivic takes a chair and yells at that chair, hahah so gonna try that out. I love yelling !
Also great ( that why she was a winner ) write a letter about sad feeling and bad things , and after writing BURN IT> wow that is great.
@yoselyncampos puts her lists on the fridge, so you cannot forget.
Bottle plastic to keep the door open , yes read her blog ( LOH #week135 ) @sacra97 program your mind, repeat something a lot of times and the mind will liste,
