These 4 Genius Google Hacks Will Change Your Life

Google offers some killer shortcuts that can help you save a ton of time and energy. It’s way more than just a way to search for information, so take a minute to see the genius ways that it can change the way you work and get things done.

Hack #1 Become the Master of Time Management
Go to the Google search page and type in “set a timer”. You’ll be given a timer set for a five minute countdown, but you can set it for whatever you need. If you really, desperately, need to look at the worst dresses at the awards show last night, set the timer on 20 minutes and satisfy your curiosity. Or, if your to-do list is a mile long, give yourself 30 minutes to work on each item and watch your list shrink away to nothing. When your time is up you’ll hear a beeping alarm.

Then, because you earned it, play Atari Breakout.

Type “Atari Breakout” into your search bar and do an image search. Watch your image results morph into the old school game and put your epic mouse dragging skills to the test.

Hack # 2  Dominate the Work Lunch
Work lunches can be a blessing in the middle of a hectic day. You don’t have time to compare nutrition facts. Let Google do the work for you! Just search for the two foods with a “vs” between them and get a quick summary of the calories and other nutrition facts.

When the bill arrives, take out your phone and open Google. Search for “tip calculator” and a simple calculator will appear to help you out. This is a work lunch. You need extra brainpower for networking and planning. Let Google calculate the tip.

Hack #3  Search Sites Like a Boss

You can save yourself time searching for specific material by using Google’s ability to search within a specific website, not all over the internet. Say you’re looking for a particular New Yorker article that got you thinking or a recipe from All Recipes that you need to shop for; just type the name of the website in the Google search bar and Google will provide you with a bar below to search within that website.

Hack #4 Win the Airport Race

No more dealing with the messy websites and apps from airline companies. Search for the name and number of the flight you’re waiting for and see up to the minute schedules. With this trick, you’ll easily know the time, terminal, and gate where you can meet your arriving client or family.
