The best life hack advice I ever got was  from my first internship. It was at an engineering firm and as I was sneaking out the back stairwell for a cigarette (yes, I was a smoker for a brief period, shame on me) I ran into an engineer and he asked what I was doing, so I made something up and said I was running an errand. I returned his question, "what are you up to?"

Engineer: "I'm carrying a clipboard"  Me looking confused. Engineer: "if you ever want to look busy, just carry a clipboard...."

Worked every time!

When i was younger i used a clipboard as a prop to get though the back boor of concerts...check my clipboard while walking at a fast pace worked 90% of the time....
This is hilarious. I love it.
