Five car organisational hacks you need in your life

Living in your car? Well it's time to clean house.

Now, if your job resembles anything like that of a journalist and you come to the realisation that you actually live and work out of your car – my car usually resembles something out a fast food restaurant meets travelling office chic. 

Everyone wants to be more organised and why not start with the one place you spend most of your time in? For some reason you always need a plastic bag in your car and why not have them all in one place for those random emergencies?

It’s it really annoying when you make a McDonalds or KFC-run alone and your friends all order a drink and you have to play prevent-the-drinks-from-spilling while simultaneously driving?

Well, this can be solved by getting a muffin pan and a laundry basket roughly the same size.

So you don’t own a GPS but you do own a phone and every time you use your phone’s GPS you nearly cause a 10 car pile-up.

Finally there is a solution for this and it doesn’t cost an arm, leg, and kidney. Use a rubber band to keep your phone in place.

No, you aren’t supposed to answer your phone while driving but you realise you life revolves around phone calls and you don’t have a fancy hands-free system.

Remember those earphones your phone came with? Connect them to your phone while driving and pop them in your ear. Calls also come through clearer through the earphones in comparison to speakerphone. If you did the rubber band hack, it goes perfectly with this hack.

Please note: Once you remove your phone from the grip of the rubber band, it will fall out of the vent. Place something where your phone would usually go to keep it in place.
