LPT If you have trouble sleeping at night, try Pavloving yourself with a scent I’ve had a hard time falling asleep for years. Sometimes it would take 30-45 minutes for me to fall asleep, even on night where I wasn’t stressed. I then had an idea of Pavloving myself into falling asleep by using scents. I got the aromatherapy recharge scent and sprayed it on my pillow every night, or when I felt tired and wanted to nap. It to…

LPT Request : How to engage with others at a tech conference I’m in IT, and I’ve attended several technology conferences, but I feel that I haven’t gotten the most out of them. I’ve been told that a huge value of the conferences is what is often referred to as the “hallway track,” or the engaging with others outside of the planned sessions. As an somewhat shy introvert, I’ll admit that I don’t grasp how o…

Those trees matter a lot to the value of your home, to the quality of the environment, and to your reduced heating and cooling bills. In a case where something goes wrong …

LPT – Do your resume, but don’t consider it done. LPT I’m a hiring manager. I am clear on what skills and/or work history I need to find in a resume pretty quickly. I’ve also had to look for jobs as my wife moved us around the country. I’m familiar with both sides of this hiring dance. When hiring, I need to see ‘relevant’ information to the job I’m hiring for. Not just ‘look how many bullet …

LPT – write NATA on mail that’s not for you so it stops getting delivered Write “NATA” (not at this address) on each piece of mail that’s not for you and put it back in your mailbox/out post. Your mailman should take them back and make a note that those people aren’t at your address anymore, thus stopping any mail that’s not for you. submitted by /u/avocadotoast22

LPT Wash your phone cases People It’s surprising how often we overlook this, but your phone case is actually one of the dirtiest items you own. While we wash clothes and hands regularly, phone cases tend to be neglected. It’s common to see an otherwise clean person with a phone case that’s a brownish, oily mess. Did you know that dirty phones can harbor more bacteria than a toi…

LPT – pit your cherries, a metal straw works great! Cherries are among the top fruits out there, would likely be number 1 if not for those bloody pits. It takes a few minutes, but eating cherries with pits removed is so much better. A metal straw can do the trick, but other objects like an icing tip or even a chop stick work. Just put the straw where the stem (removed) would attached and push the…

Wearing as little clothing as possible, use the cloth to wet your arms, legs, face, neck and have the fan blowing on you. Also get another cloth, wet it, put it on your head like a hat. Or around your neck, or both. submitted by /u/woburnite

LPT use the spare wheel compartment when stowing small valuables This is mostly advice for people who have seats that can drop down to access the trunk of your car. I live in an urban area with a high vehicular break in rate, and I’ve been doing this for a while. Ideally, you should never leave anything of great importance in your car, but if you don’t have a choice, take the extra step to put it in the spare…

LPT When You Have Something Negative to Say, Qualify It Bluntly Think you’re gonna hurt someone’s feelings? “I need to tell you something that you’re probably gonna find upsetting” or “This might be a very hurtful and inconsiderate thing to say” Need to turn the conversation to the elephant in the room that everyone’s avoiding? “I’m gonna drop a nuclear bomb here, but” or “Let me see if I can turn everyone …

LPT You need to clear your phone clipboard I was about to send a GIF via text but I accidentally chose the clipboard instead, and it had FORTY-ONE items I had copy-pasted still saved. Including passwords from using my password keeper. Obviously this wouldn’t be great if someone got into your phone. It wouldn’t be hard to see what apps or sites you’ve logged into recently and try out pas…

LPT PRO TIPs involving mustard If you ever get a burn from your straightener or the stove put mustard on it and leave it on for as long as you can.

When looking for ideas, going through websites and trying to find something takes a lot of time and you still need to check if you have all the ingredients.

LPT if you enjoy nicotine, yet want to be healthy? Buy a vaporiser. It only needs to be at 210°c max which is below the combustion point for tobacco. It has a mild smell and you’ll get 6x the nicotine from your tobacco. Being below the combustion point the tobacco doesn’t burn, so the nasties which mess with your lungs aren’t released. Main downside is you’re breathing hot air, though usually of…
