WE COULD ALL do with life being a bit easier.
We’re not asking for much, are we? Just for things to run smoothly and those daily niggling annoyances to just be wiped away.
Well, with these tips, we can make your life a little bit easier. Nice, right?
Tired of your texts being autocorrected? There’s a simple way to make that easier and a lot speedier too – set your own autocorrects. See here how to do it. (And resist the temptation to change other people’s autocorrects as a prank. You’re better than that…).
Do you have trouble getting out the door in the morning? Well, make that easier by creating a timed playlist.
