What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

-
Looking for open source software. I’d rather use Antenna Pod instead of Spotify for podcasts instead of paying for an app or subscription that may not be reliable.

What do you do for a living if I may ask?
