LPT use actual printed business cards and always have a few handy. Many will say this is old school what with the trends of single tap digital business cards, apps, etc. It’s completely practical. Was traveling internationally yesterday and met three separate people in the airport who were interested in my field. Had five business cards with me handy in my pocket–each got one. They are upscale, thick and profe…

LPT – Many (some?) coach bus seats have a lever that lets you separate the seats to give more room when needed. I’ve been taking the bus a bit recently and saw someone pull the paired seats apart this way. I’ve been able to do it a couple times since then. If it can, there’s a lever on the side by the aisle that you pull then slide the seat towards the aisle. It may take a bit of force to get it to move. submitted by /u/jkmhawk

LPT: If you’re struggling to stick to a routine, find a friend to do it with you I struggled to wake up early and do yoga during the winter. I’d snooze my alarm and skip it altogether. But then a friend said she wanted to do yoga too, and we started practicing together. She comes to my house early every morning to wake me up, and we do yoga together. The accountability and shared effort made all the difference.We both follow…

LPT: Interview jitters? hire someone to mock interview you. I’ve done this before high stakes interviews and it works great to get you at ease, get you used to talking about yourself, and used to answering the questions. Use google or chatgpt to create questions for your specific job, then hire someone off of donedirtcheap or slavelabour or I guess you could use TaskRabbit to interview you submitted …

LPT Req: When you are feeling down/unproductive from everything What can I do to feel mentally unblocked? Just few days back, I felt so numb from all around.. I didn’t feel like watching TV or looking/doom scrolling at my phone, didn’t feel like reading a book or even doing anything that otherwise brings me peace (listening music, or maybe even meditating). So eventually I just turned everything off and went…

LPT: have Monopoly plastic “coin” in your car and use it for trolleys. You will never spend it on something else. As the title says. Plastic coin will have the same dimensions as the real one – and will work for large supermarket trolleys. Being fake – you will never spend it on actual small cost things (public toilets or similar) so it will always stay in your car. submitted by /u/bel2man

LPT: People stress, but why? Because… They think they have no ownership of their own homes. They think they can’t buy lavish things. They think they cannot compete with people around them. They think staying in trends will lead to acceptance in society. They overthink negatively about things that didn’t even happen. And who are happy? Those who have a purpose in life. …

LPT: Frozen vegetables is the ultimate shortcut in cooking I have been dealing with depression for a long long time in my life. Sometimes I wouldn’t think about feeding myself for weeks. But, this one thing has changed things moumentarily. Don’t get me wrong. All those microwavable meals and instant ramens are always in my pantry. But there is one thing that really helped me to break my depressive rout…

LPT: Use an online email generator for short-term accounts to avoid spam in your primary inbox. If you’re signing up for a service, newsletter, or free trial and aren’t sure about its long-term value, use a temporary email generator like TempMail or 10MinuteMail. These services give you a disposable email address, keeping your primary inbox spam-free and protecting your privacy. Just be sure not to use these for accounts where you might ne…

LPT Strip out formatting from copied text easily When I’m copying and pasting random text from the internet into a program that will paste unwanted formatting, an easy workaround is that I first paste the text into any browser URL field (something that I always have open) and then copy it again. The browser URL strips everything clean and then you’re free to paste wherever you like. ps. Some a…

LPT: If it’s worth saying “thank you” at all then it’s worth spelling it out. Typing “Thx” or some kind of “TY” emoji can be efficient – but the risk of it being received as rude is too high and not worth it. If some one did something kind or generous or expert for you, type out the full words “thank you”. It will avoid misinterpretation and will be appreciated. Maybe among close friends you can get away with a thx but no…

LPT: You can become use to anything Humans are intensely malleable anything can become a habit with enough repetition and consistency. A good rule of thumb is if you can do something for 60 days (DO NOT RELY ON PHONE NOTIFICATION) the automacity in your brain will make it a habit. This works for all things, from lying to a poker face to helping people to climbing trees submitt…

LPT: Don’t Know What to Gift? Charging Cables! Phone chargers are a great generic gift. You only need to know what type of phone the person has, nothing else about them. If buying for a white elephant or such, there’s still a good chance anyone has a relevant device – even if it’s not their phone. USB C is becoming pretty widespread, most people have several various wireless electronics that…

LPT: For emails, if you’re not confident about your communication skills, write them in Word and run spelling and grammar checks on them FIRST. This will help you when writing important emails and/or when they will be sent to many people, particularly executives. People make assumptions about you for poorly written emails, especially if they don’t know you or your work. submitted by /u/Mach5Driver

LPT: if you ever get around to trying durian (and I hope you do!), eat it CHILLED, not room temp! That makes a huge difference! It’s like drinking a fruit smoothie chilled vs room temp. Or eating raw oysters or drinking beer. Some things are just much better chilled! For people unfamiliar with durians and trying it for the first time, the smell can definitely be off-putting, which then unfortunately affects how they perceive the taste. Chill…
