10 Nerd-Gasmic Life HacksHere are some of my favorite shortcuts, some of which were crowdsourced from a group of entrepreneurs on Facebook.

Life hacks are defined as uncommon tips and tricks to do something better or faster. I'm a nerdy geek when it comes to figuring out how to hack my life. I used different life hacks while in prison (6 Prison Life Hacks That Will Maximize Your Productivity), use them while I travel and for everyday activities.

The other day, I asked my entrepreneur-focusedFacebook groupof more than 12,000 what are some of their favorite hacks. Here's a short list of useful hacks I've learned, found on my own and learned about in the group:

1. Wi-Fi passwords

Get Wi-Fi passwords for pretty much anywhere by checking in the comments section on Foursquare.

2. iPhone zoom

iPhone pics will be of higher quality if you take the picture and zoom in on the saved version, vs. zooming in and taking the picture. Duh.

3. Smartphone connection

If you're in an area that should have service, but it's not working, switch your phone to airplane mode and then back to normal. Switching to airplane mode will cause your phone to register and find the towers in your area.

4. Humdinger

5. Glow in the dark

6. Reminders

Use speech-to-text reminders on your phone to create actionable to-do lists. Have a call to make, meeting or task to accomplish? Set a reminder with day and time. I use this all of the time.

7. Remember that

Need to remember something in the morning? Send yourself a text, but don't open it until the next day. I use this one too.

8. Mindlessly network

Use theRapportive Chrome extensionto network mindlessly. Once the extension is activated, and while you're in Gmail, your email contacts will show up on the right hand sidebar. You can then send a LinkedIn invitation. This is one of my favorite extensions. I'm not sure why more people don't use it.

9. IPhone charging

An iPad charger will charge your iPhone much faster. So will setting the phone to airplane mode (this goes for all devices).
