Many users have provided such great tips over the years: Here are a few of mine:

These are all inexpensive but will pay off daily:

1. ⁠water flosser- amazing how much food residue comes out even after every brushing. Follow up with brushing again to let the fluoride do its job. You never have to lie to the hygienist again. I even have a second small one for travel.
2. ⁠small toolkit for at home and one for your car. Over your lifetime, will save thousands on repairs and you learn skills. Check resources and work safely and methodically.
3. ⁠phone case- your phone is a big investment, treat it as such.
4. ⁠Emergency kit- basics to keep you going without electricity, water. Adjust contents to your situation.
5. ⁠accordion file- all important documents in one place. You can grab and go in seconds. Images of all documents in the cloud.

Let them express their happiness. Let them say weird words. Or if they have odd expressions, let them me.

Let's not be the reason to dull the spark in someone, especially someone we love.

I realized this when I had a past partner that would be called "immature" and "childish" by our other friends. So I also would call him out and tell him to act less childish. Looking back at it, he was just being himself and having fun, I should have let him be.

Don't be the reason why someone will lose their personality and would supress what they wanna say or their ideas, especially when nothing's actually wrong with it.

Be happy that they can show their "weird" side to you.

So hear me out. My brain would straight up ignore a pile of laundry for 3 days…but if a friend texts “I’m overwhelmed”, I immediately turn into a life coach, therapist, and ops manager.

So now I prentend my to-do kist belongs to them. What would I tell them to do first? Probably, “hey, just do one thing and take a break.” So I do that, and weirdly it works.

Turns out, I will move mountains for imaginary people but not for myself. 10/10 coping strategy. No notes.

Original Title: LPT: Stack a 1-minute full-body stretch with 2 minutes of mindful deep breathing right before your shower. It resets your nervous system, improves circulation, and makes the shower feel like a spa. Do this daily and you’ll feel calmer, clearer, and more energised in under 3 minutes.

This actually works. The breathing calms your mind, the stretch loosens tight muscles, and the hot water amplifies both effects. It's a tiny ritual that I practice everyday with a massive payoff.

Scams are nothing new. While many are obvious, it is good practice not to give a card number to someone who called you. Even if you owe a company money, do not pay over the phone if they call you. Either hang up and pay online through their website, or call the number on their website or billing statement to pay - this will guarantee that you have called and paid the actual company, and not some scammer that just got lucky pretending to be your cable company

In meetings, presentations, or tense discussions, it's common to become emotionally overwhelmed, especially when others appear more confident or authoritative. One way to stay grounded is to consciously shift your focus from the person to the message.

Instead of thinking, “They’re better, smarter, or judging me,” train yourself to evaluate the idea or question they’re raising. This makes it easier to respond calmly and clearly, especially under pressure. Over time, this habit reduces performance anxiety and helps you stay composed without needing to assert dominance or withdraw.

Mostly, they check if you've actually used it and when you have not, they refund you stuff. Just did this for something on top of Prime, I cancelled Prime immediately, but forgot to cancel the extra - that charged 3 months and now it's fully refunded.

I always found myself mixing up my coffee with someone else's when making it, or swopping lunches when carrying them. That stopped when I made the decision to ALWAYS keep my stuff in my left hand, and other people's in my right hand (or on my right side) when carrying or making things.

It works for groups too: If handling multiple items/orders/meals, line them up left-to-right in order of ownership (yours always starts on the left).

Once you train yourself, you’ll never waste brainpower on "whose is whose?" again. Making two coffees? Yours goes left, theirs right. Carrying lunches? Left hand holds yours, right hand theirs.

Does anyone else resonate with being the person who’s always had creative, great ideas but can’t seem to follow through on execution?

I’ve had a couple business ideas / projects from my early 20s that I never took to completion that still haunt me to this day. I just turned 29. How can I turn this habit around? Is it too late to change?

A laundry hack I learned from my mom. I spilled kimchi on a white t-shirt and washing it wasn’t doing the job…I’d still see an orange spot. But laying out the shirt in the sun for a few hours completely dissolved the stain!

My mom had $300 in random checks that were waiting for her to be claimed, every state will have a database where you can search your name to see if anything is available for you, this is my state’s (California’s) just to show an example https://www.sco.ca.gov/search_upd.html

Just throw it in with regular detergent & a little bit of bleach.

Then, just run it on a heavy setting. You can put in a few towels to help kind of scrub the mold off, but it's optional. Do not put it in the dryer.

No more mold & your shower will smell great.

Keep a gym bag in your car with your gym clothes and a towel (unless your gym provides towels) and a toiletry kit. Walk in the gym with it. Do your thing and then shower there. Use your stuff, walk out just like you walked in.

For me, having to get dressed and wander around the house finding stuff to get ready to go killed it completely. It absolutely destroyed momentum. It killed the idea of going. Sometimes it's difficult to make yourself go. Having to wander around and find stuff is an absolute dead end.

The gym bag method works. If you feel the need to whine about the gym showers being somehow less than perfect or whatever other whiny complaint, then you're just making excuses.

The gym is the fountain of youth. Every time I leave, I feel better physically and mentally. No exception, not a single one. Your brain tries to trick you into not going. I don't know why. It's kind of amazing. So get in the door! Getting in the door is the entire battle.

The best thing you can do for a friend you suspect is starting to experiencing abuse is start collecting any evidence right away. Write journal entries and email to yourself, collect sound bites, pictures, etc. There's a great chance your friend won't want to hear your advice or opinions on the matter and will reject and need to realize what's happening on their own. As denial is a comom theme for victims of abuse theres a chance they don't have enough or even any evidence of abuse especially if its psychological. Once they are ready, having a paper trail ready for them to use is a huge gift.

If you spend any amount of time typing, text for an internet form, always copy the text elsewhere (notepad, or word for example), before sending. I dont know how many times I forgot something on the form and when pressing send, my carefully crafted text would disappear as the form would reset. This tip has saved me much much grief.

I’ve been attending a lot of free conferences recently and it made me think that if someone was struggling to feed themselves it’s a great place to go. If you’re in a city, there’s bound to be something happening most days, and depending on the level of sponsorship they normally offer anything from pastries & coffee, to fully catered lunch and an open bar in the evening.

Action is always better than inaction. Don’t overthink the consequences, just start now whatever you were planning. Whether it’s a side hustle or your business or even trying for your dream job, just do it, not today, right now! You regret ‘not doing’ or ‘not starting’ more than mistakes. Remember this: Doing it first -> Then doing it right -> Then doing it better

Once a month, pretend you're a guest visiting your own home for the first time. Take note of what needs fixing, what's missing, and what's out of place. This external perspective reveals issues that your brain has filtered out due to familiarity. Also, ask your friends for their opinions when they visit to gain additional insights!

One of the biggest reasons people “fail” at new habits is starting too big. You decide you’re going to go to the gym for an hour every day, meditate 20 minutes, cook from scratch every night… and then after a few days or weeks, you burn out.

Instead, make the first version of the habit so ridiculously easy that it feels almost silly to skip.

– Want to exercise? Commit to 5 pushups a day.

– Want to read more? Just read one page before bed.

– Want to meditate? Sit for 1 minute.

Once you’re consistent, you can build on it naturally. But the hard part is showing up not how much you do.

Small wins add up faster than big failures.
