LPT: Set a delay in your outbox for professional emails I used to have a really bad habit of sending out emails a bit too early. To combat this, I set a delay of 1-2 minutes on all outgoing emails just in case I forget to add something after the fact.

LPT: Wave and smile at children having tantrums If nothing else, humanizing the child will make you less annoyed and more empathetic. Young children don’t lose their shit because they want to.

LPT: When writing letters or postcards for people to send thru the mail, take a picture of what you wrote. I write letters as a hobby.

No one is eating frozen pizza for crust, sometimes yo…
