LPT Your health insurance company might reimburse gym memberships and/or equipment I recently learned that my health insurance company reimburses gym memberships, or gym equipment purchases of up to $150 a year per person. Depending on what gym you’re signed up to and what health insurance plan you have, it could mean you can basically be a member for free! Check with your insurance carrier or your place of employment to see i…

LPT Take a picture of your kids when you arrive at an amusement park/busy location. That way if they get lost, you can describe exactly what they’re wearing to security/police. submitted by /u/ABlushingGardener

LPT Go first. Be the weird one. Ask the question. I heard good advice from the Dr. John Delony show a while back regarding adult friendships. When you want to make friends and spend time with people new, just ask them. Tell them your availability and ask if they want to do something fun with you. I just did it today, and I already got a positive response / a fun thing added to my calendar. Yipp…

LPT Level your stove When you move in to a new apartment or home, check that the stove is level. If it isn’t, be sure to adjust the feet until it’s level. This will help the oven cook more evenly and prevent dangerous drafts of hot air when you open the door. submitted by /u/exec_director_doom

LPT – when shopping online, don’t give stores your phone number. Stores don’t need your number to get the item to you. All they need is your email address to send you the receipt/confirmation and your shipping address. If you can’t bypass the phone number field, enter the store’s phone number. submitted by /u/dilarossi

LPT Request- How to keep work contained during work hours? This is a 2-part request, with both issues relating to each other. I’d really appreciate any advice I can get. I’m applying for new jobs as I’m changing careers, and everyone I’ve spoken to thus far has asked if I’d be available after hours or can work the odd weekend. I kinda get that, employers need to see you’re flexible and available, and I …

LPT – Use the zoom feature on your camera to read things that are too far away For example, I’ve done this many times when there’s a long line at restaurants and I can’t read the menu from the back. submitted by /u/jasonwbrown

LPT Wear a fanny pack to Amusement Parks to avoid losing items on the rides Don’t risk losing glasses, keys, phones, or wallets by just having them in your pockets if you don’t want to use the provided cubby holes. This also helps avoid having to wait for the park to close before retrieving items lost on rides. submitted by /u/Intestinal-Bookworms

LPT reframe the work of cleaning and cooking as part of an active lifestyle I watched the Netflix doc “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones” about characteristics of people living in areas with a high number of people living healthy lives to 100 years old. In multiple of these “Blue Zones” the people didn’t have “workout” routines like many of us do. Instead, they got their exercise from daily life—walking to get plac…

LPT if you have trouble sleeping due to noise, try silicon earplugs I’m a terribly light sleeper and have suffered from poor sleep all my life. I tried foam earplugs and noise cancelling headphones but they aren’t comfortable enough to sleep in. Mack’s silicon earplugs changed my life, so comfortable and sound-proof. submitted by /u/icecolddrink

LPT When writing a post think “Is my post inclusive?” To avoid offending people and maintain good vibes Of course it wouldn’t always do the trick, but this small action can help you keep conversations flowing smoothly submitted by /u/Gold-Beautiful-3989

LPT – label chargers as soon as you unbox them Taking a few seconds to put a piece of tape around a charger and label what it’s for can be a big time (and possibly money) saver in the future. If you’re anything like me you had a ton of USB chargers for different devices. I know the common ones (phone/head phones) but more and more they are stacking up. Also found out the hard way that some i…

LPT How to stop double checking everything? LPT Request: Im 16 years old and have one major issue: I check over EVERYTHING multiple times.

LPT – If you have trouble remembering whether to use ‘ or ” to denote feet and inches think about how many syllables the word is. Inches = ” and feet = ‘ I saw this LPT on here many years ago and now I use it all the time. Maybe I’m just dim because I can’t remember something so simple, but it’s probably the most useful LPT I’ve seen so I figured I’d share it again submitted by /u/I-Downloaded-a-Car

LPT If all the oil in your jar of peanut butter is settled on top you can flip the jar over and stand it upside down for a few minutes or more. Oil rises to the top in peanut butter, so when flipped over the oil that was on top will now flow through the peanut butter as it rises again to the top. I’m not sure where I got this idea from but I remember one day as I went to open a new jar of peanut butter I thought, “man, it’s really hard mixing the oil into the peanut butter every time I open a new jar… there must be an easier way.” And there was. I realized all I had to do was flip the jar over and the oil would flow to the top of the j…

LPT – When searching for Amazon Items, add “&sort=review-count-rank” to the end of the Search URL to rank items by number of reviews to actually see the most popular items. For easier use, I’ve created a bookmarklet (a bookmark which auto does the link appending) to allow for quick usage of this trick: https://kenicodes.github.io/amazon-bookmarklet/ submitted by /u/Keniisu

LPT certain hospitals or other healthcare buildings include cafeterias that have extremely cheap food, and you would be surprised at how good it is. I work in IT in a building near a hospital with a cafeteria. My co-workers told me about it and how good and cheap it is so I gave it a try and it honestly blew me away. There are many food items that are there most of the time like hamburgers, pizza, salad bar, but they also have a special food of the day. For instance today they had Cajun shri…
