If you leave your kitchen sponges flat on the counter, you may notice they can get pretty gross — mostly because they won’t dry as quickly. The solution? Stand it up on a binder clip. It’ll air dry much quicker and your sponge will last longer. Just one more reason to have a big bag of these things lying around.
The simplest DIY I ever did. So proud of myself. Why didn’t I think of this years ago? [Reddit via @paix120]

Probably the best & most cost-cutting way I’ve used binder clips is using them as a laptop stand.. I use two mini binder clips & just lay them down in line with the back of my laptop & then just lift the laptop up & put it on top of them. This gives the laptop an inclination & about an inch clearance at the back. If you need more clearance, then use bigger clips. Saves buying something off ebay & my laptop doesn’t get so damn hot. Try it!!
