I Tried 5 Ikea Hacks To See How Cheap And Easy They Really Are
Would I LACK the skills or would I find the Allen key to success?
Rebecca Hendin / BuzzFeed
I've just moved house and had a load of old Ikea furniture on my hands, so I decided to try out some popular hacks I found online, hoping to transform it from cheap and generic, to cheap and chic.
The closest I've come to DIY is changing my shoelaces, and the closest I've come to hacking is using a shoe to open a bottle of wine. Basically, I'm good with shoes.
Naturally, then, I was nervous to try any sort of DIY hack, but when I learnt that I already owned four Ikea items that were, according to blogs, easy to hack, I decided it was worth giving a go. Would I succeed? Probably not. So on the night before, to prepare myself for a day of hard grafting and inevitable failure, I did what was necessary. I went to the pub and drank two bottles of wine.

Schedule mandatory appointments with yourself.
Like, in your Google calendar and everything. "Everyone needs some quiet time whether it’s 10 or 15 minutes," Hemphill says. "No structure, just down time." You can use that time to reflect, journal, get a haircut, download new music, or just spend some quality time with yourself.

Set realistic money goals that you can actually stick to.
Saving half your paycheck every month probably isn't one of them, so don't even try.
"If you set unrealistic goals based on what you think you should be doing, you're just going to feel disappointed in yourself and overwhelmed when you don't keep up with them." Barbara Hemphill, author of Less Clutter More Life, tells BuzzFeed Life.
A few that would work: paying bills within 24 hours of when they come in, setting up online bill pay, paying at least double your minimum credit card payment each month, etc.
