About the only "life hack" of any sort I can reasonably advise: save those liquid medicine measuring cups. They're amazing for cooking and baking. A total of 3 teaspoons of this and that? Easily tossed in. A tablespoon of a liquid? Measure it out and then set the little cup down onto a flat surface. They're astonishingly handy to the point I'm routinely pleased at them.

There may well be a nicely polished, stainless steel version of these little cups at a restaurant supply store somewhere, or well-crafted ceramic equivalents, but neither of those also give me the rewarding feeling of having found a new use for an old object.

Oxo makes them, in both a plastic angled measuring cup and a steel jigger, but yeah, the plastic measuring cups from cough syrups is a thing. I save the ones that have the 10 ml (nearly bottom 1/4 inch of the cup) on them because they're infinitely easier to use than a syringe.
