As an Amazon customer, you already know there are simple ways to check on your orders. But so do the people you're living with or buying gifts for. That's why it's a good idea to take these steps to keep those purchases a secret.

Here’s a handy trick from Komando.com Content Queen Allie. If you’re using YouTube to learn to do something around the house, it can be hard to find one that has the info you need and is easy to follow. Here’s the secret:

• First, search for what you need, like cleaning out the dishwasher filter. (Yes, this exists. And yes, you should clean yours.) 
• When you find a video that looks good, click the gear icon > Playback speed. Change it to 2 times speed so you can quickly get an idea if the instructions are what you’re looking for.
• Once you find the right tutorial, click the gear icon > Playback speed again. This time, choose .5 times speed. Yes, it’s slow — but this way, you can follow along.
