Dear Lifehacker, I’d like to ask the readers a question about removing stickers from windows. I have an awful line of “safety” decal stickers on my sliding doors that I would like to remove for aesthetic reasons as they ruin my view outside.

Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks, Sticker Situation More »

The problem with individual exercise books for each subject is that I hate sticking in handout sheets so I just shove them in the back and usually lose them in the black depths of my bag.

So what is the best way to keep school work organised? Thanks, Stressed Student More »
