LPT: How to instantly stop any muscle cramps that occur In the past I’ve had muscle cramps that lasted many many seconds or even minutes, but now, I never get muscle cramps that last longer than 1 second. This is from my personal experience and I haven’t directly tested it on other people yet. Here’s why I think my method works: Whenever you contract your bicep like 💪 , your brain also forces the tri…

LPT: Protect surfaces by layering painter’s tape under packing tape for heavy-duty tasks (e.g. taping wooden furniture pieces together during apartment moves) Inb4 gaff/gaffer’s tape. Trust me, I’m a huge fan, too, but it can be a lot more expensive than both of the above combined (especially at bulk), and cheaper options (anecdotally) have been lacking lately, in terms of strength and residue. submitted by /u/0000000000000007

LPT: If Someone accidentally sends you something embarrassing when meaning to send something else, simply respond “I don’t see it” or “It’s not loading for me” Never mention it again. You save them from embarrassment and save yourself from an awkward situation. Feel free to tell them to delete it and send it again. You probably shouldn’t have that on your phone anyways. Don’t take a screenshot or save it in any way. It’s personal, and they didn’t intend to share it with you. submitted by /u/Ok_Needleworker4388

LPT: To fall asleep I struggled to fall asleep for many years. Then I read a suggestion which has made all the difference for me. While lying in bed in a comfortable position, clench your fingers and toes for 10 seconds, then relax for 10. Repeat half a dozen times. Very quickly I lose the count (during the relaxed period) because my mind has switched off. Soon af…

LPT: To stay awake during boring work meetings/ lectures, hover your feet above the ground If you’re like me and sometimes struggle to say awake if you’re not engaged in a work meeting, try hovering both feet a few centimeters above the ground.

For example, when invited to someone’s home and offered food or drinks, refusing too quickly to avoid seeming demanding can make your host feel uneasy. Instead, try to be straightforward and relaxed. It’s important to remember that your host’s main goal is for you …

LPT: Track your meals more accurately with a food scale if you’re serious about fitness or weight goals. Estimating portions or relying on measuring cups can lead to errors in tracking your progress.

LPT: No matter how friendly your dog is, don’t let them roam off-leash to approach passing dogs. Some neighbors may have rescue or foster dogs with troubled pasts. It’s unsafe for everyone. Even if your dog is the friendliest pup in the world, letting them wander off-leash in your yard to greet passing dogs can create problems. You don’t know what the other dog has been through. Many people walk rescue or foster dogs that might be nervous, reactive, or still adjusting to life outside a shelter. A sudden interaction, even from a wel…
