LPT: If you want more in life, seek less of yourself! I know very well that this title may offend the very mind that may be keeping you in bondage, but please don’t hear what I am not saying! Don’t let yourself misinterpret what I am saying, just allow yourself to have your mindset and heart challenged. I’m not specifically talking about putting other people first even though that is important, but…

LPT: how to Stop Vomiting in it’s Tracks This only works for people who experience hyper salivation before puking. If you let the saliva build up in your mouth and tilt your head back, you lose the need to puke the more saliva that builds up. This does not work with water so if you don’t experience hyper salivation before vomiting you are just out of luck. submitted by /u/HQBB …

LPT Why to not come in when you are sick I feel the need to say this after the third coworker coming into the office sick. Just because you “don’t have covid” does not mean your sickness or flu, cannot do incredible unthought about harm. Covid was an extreme version of the flu, which had a significantly higher chance to kill someone than the normal flu. But let me start with an example…

LPT: Proper use of idioms. Fairly often we see/hear common idioms used or written incorrectly. To try to help, I’ve made a small list. I’m sure I’ve forgotten/missed a bunch, so please feel free to add them into the comments. Without further ado: Per se (two words) Could/would/should have Lo and behold For all intents and purposes Vice versa Piqued my interest Regard…

LPT: In a professional setting if someone says “thank you”, respond with “you’re welcome” not “no problem” It seems petty and it probably is. My knee jerk reaction is always to say “sure no problem” or simply “no problem”. Seems innocent enough, completely innocuous. But especially in an office setting if a higher up thanks you try to respond “you’re welcome” submitted by /u/GuzPolinski

LPT: do not store bungee cords in a stretched state. Storing your bungees on a shelf or coiled up is much better. When elastic is stressed it loses its elasticity over time much faster than if it’s relaxed submitted by /u/atom644

LPT: If a pull tab breaks off a can, use a can opener to open it from the bottom Can openers don’t usually work on the lids of cans that have a tab, but they do work on the bottom. If you opened the can a little before the tab broke off, just be sure to drain the can first or put it in a bowl before you turn the can upside down. submitted by /u/LouisXIV_

LPT: Managing Self Awareness in Social Situations Having self-awareness is important for social interaction, but often, sharing personal insights with all but the closest of confidants won’t go over well. Conclusions we draw about ourselves may be perceived as generalizations to outside observers and casual acquaintances. submitted by /u/DrDrunktopus

LPT Meal Prep Mix and Match I’m not sure if this has been posted before, but I couldn’t find anything when searching. I frequently like to meal prep, but I’m one of those types of people who tend to get tired of eating the same thing everyday. My solution to this is to not add everything to whatever meal I’m making and keep it separate. For example ramen. I’ll make chicken…

LPT – How to disagree There you are again, biting your tongue while a colleague hopelessly digresses down a path that you know should have been thwarted minutes ago. You wouldn’t dare speak up and make them look incompetent right? WRONG! Speak up! Here’s how; separate the person from what they’re saying. You aren’t confronting them, rather you’re engaging their idea….

LPT-Gift giving Whenever your loved one mentions something they would like to have, or like to do one day, write it down in an email and send it to yourself. In the subject line write birthday/Christmas ideas for mom (for example). When the time comes, you can search your emails and find all the ideas you sent yourself. I have a bad memory so this is a big help…

LPT: Be careful who you share your allergies with!!! I recently had a coworker douche himself in cologne the day after I told him I had a sensitivity to fragrance. We don’t generally get along and I think he did this deliberately to make my work experience hellish. It just led me to realize that you have to be careful who you share your weakness with! Edit: PEOPLE!!!! Douche is French for shower. …

LPT: Why I think avoiding overstimulation is the main factor for productivity Hi guys, yesterday I had written a text praising boredom, but I think I wasn’t very clear and I would like to try again. I’ve been doing some tests on myself in the last few weeks to avoid using my cell phone, video games, etc. for a few hours a day, especially during work hours (I’m WFH) and I’m noticing significant changes in my behavior. “Bor…

LPT: Storing carrots Carrots are sold in plastic bags here. I store them in the fridge, in the vegetable drawer at the bottom. After a while they turn moldy, wet and gross. I tried transfering them into paper bags. That made them soft and gross. Carrots must be crunchy to be any good, and I need to buy them when cheap so I want them to last at least a month in the f…
