LPT Request: I want to learn how to stop overthink about others opinions about me I am always preventing myself of asking questions in meetings because of what others would think about me. I am always thinking if the other person is mad at me after a text I sent. I am always thinking that something I said bothered other people and once I have the minimum evidence of that then I felt terrible. I want to learn mechanisms to cop…

LPT: An easy way to stop negative self-talk is to ask if you’d say those things to another person If you catch yourself having derogatory self-thoughts, just think about whether you’d say the same things to someone else. If it’s not okay to call your friend ”stupid” or a ”loser”, then it shouldn’t be ok to say it to yourself. Once you realize this, it becomes much to nip those negatives thoughts at the bud. submitted by /u/im_not_…

LPT: Making homemade pizza? Use your grocery store’s salad bar to get the exact toppings and proper amount of toppings you need. I’ve been doing this for years at my local Whole Foods – I can find pretty much all good toppings (except for pepperoni) at the salad bar. Instead of buying a whole pack of XXX ingredient, head to the salad bar to get just enough of each ingredient/topping. Chicken, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, Gorgonzola, corn, green onions, red peppers, olive…

LPT: Read your vision insurance even if you don’t need it. You might be missing out on “free” stuff. TLDR: Your vision insurance might pay for non-prescription sunglasses. Edit: Real tip is in the comments. Look at your regular health insurance because it may make paying for separate vision insurance redundant. So I’ve had the same vision insurance for 14 years and I’ve never even looked at it as I’ve never needed it. Lately things in the dista…

LPT: A trick to making good decisions: pick the option that will make life easier in the long term even if it makes life difficult in the short term Often one struggles to decide between competing paths or options, not knowing how to assign appropriate weightage. Having a little longer term perspective can be very helpful when it comes to this. Decision making is inherently an emotional process. As we know from neuroscience these days. The default instant gratification circuit in the brain c…

LPT: If you’re always losing your keys, attach a bright, oversized keychain that doubles as a conversation starter. Not only will it be impossible to misplace in the chaos of your bag, but you’ll also be handing out free compliments every time someone asks, “Where’d you get that epic keychain?” submitted by /u/Delicious_Tip_8813

LPT: Schedule a “Power Hour every week to crush small tasks you’ve been avoiding Future you will throw a party in your honor. Pick one hour weekly to tackle tasks like unsubscribing from emails, fixing that wobbly chair, or organizing cables.

Stay efficient, friends! submitted by /u/trending_zone

LPT on a walk, look out for any outside/accessible outlets. You may never know when you need to charge something. For instance, I noticed an outlet outside a Mexican supermarket, that had one available, the other powering those kid rides you used to see. I sat down in front of a supermarket, charged my vape around ~11 pm. submitted by /u/MeorOtherMe

LPT: If you often misplace your keys or phone at home, designate a specific spot near your entrance—like a small bowl or hook—to always place them upon entering. This simple habit can save you time and reduce daily stress. By consistently placing your essentials in the same spot, you create a routine that minimizes the chances of misplacing them. Over time, this practice becomes second nature, making your daily departures smoother and more efficient. Remember, small organizational habits can have a significant impact on reducing everyday hassles. submitted by …

LPT: Your food never heats evenly in the microwave? You’re placing it wrong. Don’t put your plate in the center of the turntable – place it at the edge instead. Microwaves have hotspots, and when your food rotates from the outside, it passes through more heated zones instead of sitting in a weaker center area. Result? No more half-piping-hot, half-ice-cold bites. submitted by /u/404PatienceNotFound

LPT: Irish citizenship can be passed down indefinitely. It’s relatively well known that if you have an Irish born grandparent you can get Irish citizenship for yourself, with all the rights and benefits that brings. What I only just found out is, this right can be asserted in perpetuity as long as a Foreign Birth Registration is made for each descendant who might wish to apply, and is made before the…

LPT: Wet clothes might not be due to a faulty or old dryer I see a lot of great recommendations for things to troubleshoot on a dryer for when clothes come out wet after normal cycles. However, I don’t typically see my situation mentioned. I live in a fairly humid part of the U.S. Not Louisiana or Florida level, but still humid, flat, fairly rainy, and with soft ground. Once or twice a year, I have to t…
