— Real Simple (@RealSimple) September 28, 2019
Real Simple is an NYC-based “life hack” account that operates as part of the social media wing for the website realsimple.com. Real Simple’s goal is to “showcase good-to-know-information with inspiring ideas.”

— ikeahackers (@ikeahacks) September 21, 2019
My absolute favorite life hack account on this list—and one I cannot praise enough—is Ikea Hackers. It’s the Twitter branch of the formerly-viral blog, ikeahackers.net.
Ikea Hackers is a DIY room decor account in every sense of the word. It collects ideas and step-by-step tutorials on how to “hack” your IKEA furniture to make it more inventive and useful. Ikea Hackers then catalogs these ideas on its website and on Twitter.
The reason I’m personally so attached to this life hack account is because it manages to combine my two favorite things—productivity and creativity—into smart household objects. It does this with the expressed understanding that most people are on a budget, and that you’ll be working with limited space if you’re trying to “hack” your apartment.
This Twitter account is really useful if you’re looking to decorate your apartment or house with limited funds. This is doubly true if you need to create custom furniture.
7. Coupon Cabin

— CouponCabin (@CouponCabin) September 23, 2019
Coupon Cabin is an incredibly useful Twitter account if you’re on a budget and love saving cash. It’s one of those life hack accounts that will help you manage and lower your daily living costs.
Coupon Cabin tries to round up the best deals on particular items that have been posted to the web, ranging from coffee to toothbrushes to books. Then it posts these deals to its feed.
Coupon Cabin also talks about how to save money when you go into particular stores, the best stores to buy certain items from, and the time of year you should buy those items. Really, it’s a great way to help you stick to a budget.
8. Make

— Make: (@make) September 18, 2019
Last on our list of useful Twitter accounts for life hacks is a quick nod to the Twitter account, Make. Make is less about serious life hacks and more about teaching you how to design really cool DIY tech projects. These projects range from robotics to homemade games.
Make often posts links to its YouTube videos.
