Something simple that makes the biggest impact on making a job easier or improves your life. Wetting the thread before putting it through the needle, sifting the bread twice to make the bread more airy, wetting the dressing prior to attempting to remove it, using a pipe on the end of your wrench for leverage, heel lift under the short leg for a limb length discrepancy, that sort of thing.

The thing that surprised me the most was closing one eye to save your night vision. For example. I went into a room to open a window, wanted to pick out what I am wearing today, need to turn on the light. Close my eye, keep it closed while the lights are on, pick out a shirt, open when lights are off. Open your eye and it is like magic, you can still see in the dark. Cover your eye for a while, half an hour, with an eye patch, and you will have night vision in that eye. Turns out, that was usually the deal with old timey sailors and the eye patch, so they could see better when they went below deck.

Arrr matey, what have you got for a neat trick?
