LPT: Tired of the political calls? Stop them by voting early If you live in a state with early voting, you can dramatically reduce the number of mailers and calls you get by simply voting. Calling and mailing you costs campaigns time and money. They generally pull from the voter files to reduce the waste, so the simplest way to get fewer annoying messages is to vote as soon as possible. https://www.azfami…

LPT: Learn to cook. Simple as: Learning to cook is one of the easiest skills a person can learn. There is a fairly low bar to entry, assuming you live somewhere with a stovetop, and have access to basic utensils and ingredients.

LPT: How to win any “try not to laugh” challenge Just don’t look at directly at the screen, look at the side so it LOOKS like you’re watching but focus 100% on some random point away from the screen so your brain doesn’t actually see what’s happening.

LPT: realistic (paper) snowflakes Many of us have made paper snowflakes ❄️ before, by folding a piece of paper and cutting pieces out of it with scissors, then unfolding it. but somehow they often look a bit off and not like real snowflakes. The trick is that real snowflakes always have six-fold symmetry (due to the chemical structure of water molecules) To achieve that, first f…

LPT Keep salt and pepper packets in your wallet or purse I’ve saved so many would be bland meals. A mediocre salad can go to absolute deliciousness in the flick of the wrist. Also, if you don’t want to offend anyone’s cooking abilities, you can add salt and pepper without them noticing or getting offended, and you don’t have to ask for salt and pepper. submitted by /u/Prestigious_Box_9370

LPT: When painting, tie up your paint tins. If you’re painting while on a stepladder, and using the top step for the paint tin, tie a couple of cords of twine through the paint tin handle and the top bar of the ladder, it’ll stop your paint spattering all over the floor if the tin gets accidentally knocked. submitted by /u/Accomplished-Sun9107

LPT: Never share a online without deleting the geolocation Geolocation represents the longitude and latitude coordinates of a photo you take with your phone or camera. If you share it online on social networks, someone with malicious intent might download the picture and find out your location and even worse the location of your home if you took the picture at home. Worse than that is chatting with some…

LPT: Order off the kids menu Without typing a novel, most places have zero idea how to correctly portion out food for a child which results in “lite adult” portions for a much cheaper price. Order off that kids meal and save dollars and more. Note: this obviously does not address how kids meals are over-portioned. submitted by /u/blacksoxing

LPT: Flea Season Is Upon Us I’m a dog groomer, and was giving advice to somd friends and was suggested to post here. Put a cheap flea collar from walmart in your vacuum.

Dawn …

LPT : Stop Trying to Be a Superhero – Delegate Those Urgent Tasks (and Reclaim Your Sanity) We’re often told to “hustle harder” and “do it all,” but burning yourself out is a recipe for disaster. Sometimes, the smartest move is to delegate. Make a list of tasks that are consistently draining your time or energy (or those you just plain hate doing). Find a skilled freelancer or virtual assistant (there are tons of platforms out there!) …

Theoretically, there is no extra use in total electricity or muscle strain. If time is your top priority, this is a great method. submitted by /u/SpookyDavid

LPT – If your phone is stolen, ask someone to take a photo LPT: iPhone just stolen in Copenhagen at a food hall, pretty vanilla maneuver, two guys working in tandem. Reported to police (very patient and took it seriously unlike US where I’m from) who asked a lot of detailed questions I just did not remember. Obviously it’s unlikely to snap a photo of perpetrators, but even if it’s afterwards at least th…

LPT – Productivity and the Ultradian Cycle Hello everyone! Just wanted to share something with this community I believe you’d find interesting. I work full time as an online-based clinical hypnotherapist; as one would hardly find shocking, I find much in my day-to-day experience, insights and information both fascinating and applicable to my work with people. Somewhat recently, I found s…

LPT Filming memorable moments LPT . I Was just watching the Olympic opening ceremony and as always you see most people brandishing their phones. If you are at a televised or otherwise highly mediatized event or place don’t record the happening or place, record yourself and your people. That’s way more interesting to keep as memory. You can always find better media about the …

LPT – help with stripped screws When you can’t turn the screw because the screwdriver won’t fit properly anymore, if the screw head is hexagonal in shape, find the appropriate ratchet set head and use the ratchet to turn the screw instead! submitted by /u/benkenobi75

LPT – How to stop being resentful? Like many people, I have been through a lot of messed up things and met awful humans. On the bright side I have also met absolutely wonderful people that restore my faith in humanity. Somehow my brain can’t help but hold on to anger, hate and resentment for certain people and situations. Even when I understand that there is absolutely nothing I …

LPT – If you’re a person who thinks about what to talk about on the way to a social setting, think about things to ask about instead I know some people rack their brains thinking about what to talk about when they’re meeting friends or colleagues or whatever, but it’s usually in the form of personal stories. It’s really a lot easier to just think about who you’re meeting, remember what they talked about last time and what’s happening in their life, and ask them questions abou…
