LPT: use the same razor for a long time I have a coarse beard. In the days before I figured this LPT out, I used a new disposable blade every week. Now I use a new blade every 6 months, if not longer. The trick is to ‘sharpen’ your blades by running them against your towel like the old-timey barbers did with the strap. So before you shave and then every few strokes or so, run the razo…

LPT: Charge your phone outside of your room to sleep better If you’re like me and someone who can stay on their phone for hours, which in turn prevents sleep, try charging it outside of your room.

LPT Offer to Volunteer for Access to Events Heading out to a gala today. 4th year in a row volunteering for them. When I first saw the gala, I was discouraged by the $150 per ticket price tag. But like the org and what they had planned so I cold emailed them saying I’d be interested in volunteering at it if they had any need of me. They said yes and now come back every year. I get free e…

LPT: when going shopping, take a picture of your pantry/fridge I always make a paper list on a small notebook and take a pic of it on my phone before I go shopping. Recently I started taking pics of my pantry and fridge to avoid those “ah, this is on sale, I’m pretty sure we have some but I’m not positive” moments and it works quite well. Good to jog the memories of what you may need if you spot a glaring h…

LPT Request — How do I remember things I already know ( ? ) I have a tendency to realize things often — “oh I just realized the reason I don’t like X is Y” — so many things. It could be my health, it could be the loneliness and the lack of sharing my life with others; but idk. If anyone has had this experience and has overcome it I’m looking for help. It’s been a problem I’ve had almost my entire life th…

LPT: Watch every meme/post your partner sends you It means more to them than you think and they’re probably funny. There have been times when I’ve let the “backlog” of reels, memes etc stack up. I’m not as active on social media as my girlfriend. But I’ve realized over time that sending silly memes and what not is a love language and a means to express affection. Taking the time to actually wat…

LPT Want to back-in to your parking space easier? Start-out backed-in to where you want to be parked, and next time it snows, pull out slowly in a natural line. Pay attention to how far you turn the wheel, and watch til your back wheels line-up with the front wheels. Stop and note what landmarks you’re lining-up beside. From there, backing-in should be easier. submitted by /u/querty99

Most* text messaging apps allow you to long-press the send button a…

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: 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: 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…
