LPT: Switch off your phone every night, turn it on only after your morning routine. I know we all have different life circumstances and different levels of phone distraction problems, so this obviously won’t apply to everyone. Some of you perhaps already do this… but it has permanently upgraded my headspace since I started. Switch your phone off at night (physically power it off), and only turn it on in the morning after you’re…

LPT: when to use “I” and “me” In sentences like “give it to Ann and I/me”, I’ve noticed some people have trouble using the right one. The hack is to remove the other person. Give it to Ann and (I/me) – Give it to me, or Give it to I? Ann and (I/me) ate lunch – I ate lunch, or Me ate lunch? Occasionally it can be both: “Ann is as tall as me” and “Ann is as tall as I (am)” – t…

LPT Make use of your public library for digital books and audiobooks. There are various resources at your local library. For those who enjoy reading on their phone or listening to audiobooks your library might use libby. It’s an app that allows you to check out books virtually. The best part is even if you have a small selection at your local library like I do. You can go to a larger library in your state. Most o…

LPT Bring empty food storage containers to family holiday meals If you’re going to a friend or relative’s house for a holiday meal, and are interested in bringing leftovers home with you or expect that leftovers will be foisted upon you, bring your own empty Tupperware/food storage containers to fill up and bring home. That way you don’t have to worry about taking the host’s container(s) home with you and re…

LPT: Have a second wallet In order to avoid huge trouble when you lose your wallet, keep a second smaller wallet with just your ID, a small amount of cash, and 1 or 2 bank cards you use on a daily basis, while keeping everything else in your bigger wallet hidden in your car (obviously if it’s safe to do so where you live). This way, if you lose your wallet like I just di…

LPT: Next time your recipe says to press a block of tofu, try boiling it in brine for 10-15 minutes. Y’all I literally just tried this technique out tonight, and I feel like I’ve been let in on a secret for restaurant-quality curds. In a single evening, I have been converted to a boiled tofu evangelist. As a former aspiring bbq chef, and as a current vegetarian, I (rather logically, imo) decided to try dry brining my block as an experiment. Thr…

LPT If there’s a problem with the springs or the side cables of your garage door, don’t fix it yourself, call a pro. The springs are strong enough to support around 200 pounds. That much tension being released by unscrewing the wrong thing could lead to severe injury, or even death if you’re unlucky. Newer ones should have a warning label next to the lower bracket where the cables are attached. If the label is gone, illegible or painted over,, most garage door…

LPT Try Tasting Spices on Their Own to Elevate Your Cooking By tasting spices individually, you’ll better understand their unique flavours, which can help you decide how to use them in your dishes. It’s surprising how many spices have subtle complexities you might not notice when mixed with others. It’s also helpful if you’re trying to figure out what spices were used in a dish so you can recreate it or …

Background: I work for a large financial institution that provides loans for home improvements.

LPT: fold your plastic bags for a ton more space! If you ever played “table football” in school, passed a note or folded a flag, you have done this already. You’ll be surprised how much space you’ll save! Here’s how: Flatten out your grocery/plastic bag. Fold it long ways in threes. Starting at the bottom (not the handles), fold the bottom left corner over to the right hand side to form a small…

LPT: Check for Dead Pixels when buying a new Electronic Many of you are buying a monitor/TV for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I advise you check your product for dead pixels. You can make your screen completely white to make them easy to spot. You can use paint, a website, or simply a white picture and full screen using F11. I do this often to check for any spots on my monitors and clean them. su…

LPT: travelling with a pump bottle? Swap out the pump nozzle for a bottle cap. Most bottles share a universal standard opening size and tread, meaning they can be swapped out. When travelling with a pump bottle of for example hair conditioner, I empty out the pump back into the bottle, disassemble the pump nozzle (ie take out the straw), and use a water bottle cap to securely close the bottle. This prevents leakage/acciden…

LPT: Upgrade your cheap delivery or frozen pizza. You can upgrade a cheap delivery or frozen pizza’s taste and overall feel by drizzling a little olive oil on it. (For frozen pizza, do this after heating it.) Pour it drop by drop out of a regular bottle, or use a squirt bottle for more even coverage. Red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and/or oregano can also be good additions, dep…

LPT: self-depreciating humor is never a good idea Like, imagine you call yourself an idiot to someone else. What are they gonna do? Nod, laugh and agree? It lowers your self esteem and can have a long term mental effect. I did it for years, but now I’ve stopped I feel a whole lot better about myself, and can come up with actual jokes that don’t make people feel awkward. submitted by /u/…
