My Favorite Apps to Make Studying Less Painful Time to learn your material with an assist from one of these great apps.

LPT: motivate your child/ kids to memorize your mobile phone number. Long time ago in the car on road trip, my kids wanted to play on tablets. Just for fun I’ve told them, first they need to memorize my phone number. They were motivated, it took them just a few minutes to learn. Then, from time to time I’ve checked, if they still remember that. It is well written in their little brains, lol. Just today I was cont…

LPT: Fixing a Ruined Whiteboard If you happen to have a whiteboard that whatever you write on it won’t come off no matter what cleaner or method you use, you probably have a board that has a ruined finish/top coat. I learned this the hard way when I had a brain fart and took a gritty scrub pad to my board to remove some leftover adhesive on it. Overtime, whiteboards lose their…

LPT: Warm your hands faster by heating your inner wrists When you have freezing hands, don’t warm the palms and fingers of your hands (with hand warmers, heating pad, warm drink, etc.).

LPT: If you’re ordering food delivery, and want it hot, put delivery instructions in the app. I’ve been driving for Doordash and Ubereats for years.

Something as simple as “building 5, turn right as you enter the complex, third building on the left” makes all the difference to drivers, many of whom are trying to find yo…

LPT: Point barcodes towards your cashier at gas stations/convenient stores. It doesn’t save a ton of time but it does speed up a bit, makes the cashier happy and over all it smooths out the process.(especially during a lunch rush) If you have candy make sure the barcode is pointed up, if you have a drink point the barcode towards them. Have money or card ready. submitted by /u/THE-KOALA-BEAR710

LPT: Stuck on a tough decision? Pretend your friend is asking for advice Next time you’re overthinking something, try this: imagine a friend is in your exact situation and asking what they should do. What would you tell them? For some reason, it’s way easier to give good advice to other people than to ourselves. We get caught up in emotions, doubts, and overthinking. But when you step back and look at it like an outs…

LPT Request: How to Be ALWAYS Mindful and aware ? Hey everyone How can I be more aware of my actions before they cause harm? Any advice on actively staying present and accountable? Context: (I’ve realized I’ve been unintentionally hurting people I care about without noticing until they brought it up. I tend to brush things off, omit, or defend myself instead of facing them.
