What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?

When given the option, read the instructions, and save for future reference. (A URL / bookmark doesn't count as saving unless you control the hostname (including DNS).)

I have a plastic container where I put all instruction manuals plus hardware that comes with it that I don't need right then. It was very useful when I decided to mount my soundbar a decade after I bought it and knew exactly where the mounting clips and template were. Any time I need to check the manual for specs or something, I just need to look through a pile and will find it.

Agreed. I also paraphrase the instructions in my own words to make them easier to follow later on.
