Request for new column

How about a new column where people describe hacks that they use in their everyday life or in specific situations. For example, I have been using, practically forever, a neat way of wrapping cord, of any size, that will not tangle, that I learned from the ever-fabulous The Ashley Book of Knots, page 512, knot #3085, when I was a kid, and checked this book out at the local library. I use it for anything from garden twine to 100 ft extensions cords, in which case I use my hand and elbow in place of thumb and pinky. It has never failed me.
