  • Radio host Jackie O has revealed her hack for peeling Post-It notes properly
  • She said it’s possible to peel them without creating a curled-up sheet of paper

Radio host Jackie O has revealed her ‘hack’ for peeling Post-It notes without creating a curled-up sheet, and thousands have labelled the simple tip a ‘game changer’ by people the world over.

The 45-year-old radio presenter said many of us peel our Post-It notes off the pack from the bottom up which creates a curled-up sheet, but in fact we should be tearing them apart from the side to keep the note flat.

‘So you know how with Post-It notes it’s really annoying when you do this and you try and stick it down and it’ always curved up like that,’ Jackie ‘O’ Henderson said in a clip shared on Instagram.

‘Well, here’s the hack on how to avoid that.’

To try the trick for yourself, Jackie said you should first ‘peel from the side’.

Then, stick the Post-It note down on the table and it should remain completely straight, meaning you have more space to write on the note.

Thousands who saw Jackie’s idea were impressed with it, writing ‘this is life changing’ and comments like ‘amazing’.

‘Why have I never thought of this before,’ one woman posted.

‘I love that hack! I’m going to try it,’ another added. 

But not everyone was on board with the idea, with Jackie’s co-host Kyle Sandilands responding to her: ‘Big deal’.

This isn’t the first hack that Jackie O has exposed on air.

Previously, the radio producer shared how she uses eyeliner to apply fake freckles to her face to give the illusion that she is wearing less makeup than she really is.

‘So, what you want to do here is dab a few freckles here,’ Jackie said as she added dots with the pencil across her nose area. 

‘See how they’re too dark right now?’ she said.

‘Then you dab them down really lightly so they blend in and look natural’.
