Measure your hand from your fingertips to palm and memorize it. Now you can judge the size of anything without a ruler. Try picking a finger that equates close to an exact measurement.
By pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth you can: Cure brain freeze, help drain your sinuses, and make the urge to sneeze go away. Alternatively if you feel you need to sneeze, try looking into a bright light.
When you wake up in the middle of the night, cover one eye with your hand before you turn on the light. Leave it covered until you turn off the light, and then switch eyes. The covered eye will retain its ability to see in the dark. This is the reason why pirates wore eye patches.
If you find you need to cancel a hotel reservation, but you've past the date to avoid a cancellation fee, try rescheduling for a future time. Most hotels will do this for free. Then, call back, get a different rep, and cancel free of charge.

This is a deceptively simple trick. Find some file, usually a picture will be the right size, and rename it "My Essay.doc" (you have to have file extensions shown, google 'how to show file extensions' if you don't).

So you want a cold beverage but you don't have one in the fridge? Take a warm one, put it into a pot and cover it with ice. Then add 2 cups of salt and fill it with water.
