I'm Kodama Kawashiri

There has never been an anime more in need of a 'skip opening' button on Crunchyroll than this series. The opening theme is full on half of the length of each episode. It's super irritating. If you put each of the 1:30 second skits back to back you'd not even have 2 full-length standard episodes of anime. The OP really pads out the runtime on this one, so I don't feel like this series is a bad time investment if you skip it. The show itself is quirky and unique and certainly worth 36 minutes of your time to watch in its entirey (without thecredits). Aoi Yuki is a genius and does all the voice acting, and from what I could tell, maybe even all the sound effects. The jokes are bizarre, but funny; they show off these really weird behaviors of the main character Kodama Kawashiri. I really liked the art style here. Seemed to fit with the nature of the series just right. There's really not much to be said about this one I think. I liked this series quite a lot, but it's defintely not for everyone; I'd say this is a veteran level anime.

Don't feel disappointed when you watch the well-animated 1:30 intro... followed by the actual episode being only 1 minute long and drawn in a scratchy style with barely any animation. Disappointingly, despite the title, there are very few "life hacks" shown (which would be a good and original concept); it's mostly old-hat jokes about how Kodama is lazy, enjoys junk food, finds it hard to focus on work, etc. Still, the limited animation is charming at times, the sound effects (all of them made with the voice actress's mouth) are amusing, and some episodes are fairly interesting to watch (specifically those where Kodama actually leavesher home).
