One of my personal core values is to leave things better than I found them. This is one of the reasons I always pick up a couple of pieces of trash as I leave the beach. I always want to leave it a little better than I found it. I apply the same rule for my own life—always trying to make it a little better in some way. This is the reason I have adopted a few tiny life hacks. These are small ways I have learned to avoid making the same mistake twice. Its why I leave my wallet in the same place at home and why I always carry a phone charger in my backpack. I even have names for some of my hacks. Two of my favorites are anchors and breadcrumbs.
