LPT Request: How do I stop dwelling on negative things? Sometimes an overly negative experience or comment will stay with me for days on end and I will constantly think about it.

LPT: Ask to read someone’s dissertation or thesis If you know someone who is working on or has written a dissertation or thesis for a qualification, even if there’s no chance you will understand it, ask to read it. That person has likely poured their life and soul into that work, knowing that 1 person will likely read it for marking. Having friends and family ask to read it will mean a lot to t…

LPT: Don’t Wreck Your Finances for Engagement Ring It’s an emotional purchase that can make you blind to common sense. I was going to beg, borrow, steal, literally gamble and anything else I could to get more money for a £££ piece but my tip for now is, don’t. I’m now getting a ‘cheaper’ ring within my budget. Cheers. Edit: Figure of speech, I was not literally gonna steal for cash. Considered g…

LPT How to skip YouTube ads Just found out by accident earlier today, loading up a video. If you get hit with ads click over to shorts then back to the video and there shall no longer be ads. Not sure how well it works yet, so far it’s skipped the ads every single time (regardless of whether or not I’m past the 5 second mark) not sure if I’m the first to discover this eith…

However, I struggle a lot with finding things to talk about, and usually end up running out of things to say and making it incredibly awkward. How would I improve on this?

LPT Request: How do I stop myself from being so negative, mentally, all the time? We have all been through stuff. Some more than others, but it’s our stuff so severity is moot. It affects me every second of every day. I call it my “final destination brain”. Every moment is wrought with hundreds of ways that the smallest situation can go horribly wrong. I am aware if it, so that’s half the battle won. I need help with World Wa…

LPT Request: Do you need to be a “workaholic” to make it out of the rat race? If I think of making it out the rat race, it really is me working my ass off. So almost no free time. I am 20 years old right now. I recently moved out with my girlfriend. I am trying to be more of a man, I’m trying to grow up and not be a kid anymore. It’s been hard and I feel like I need to work on all these things. I am building a skill right…

LPT Request: how to stop losing small things I’ve just lost yet another pair of my expensive ear buds, 2nd time in a year. I constantly misplace my phone and my glasses. Earlier this summer I accidentally threw out my car keys. All my other stuff has a “spot” at home but my glasses and phone and ear buds come with me everywhere I go. So I just end up putting them down. And Im usually busy …

LPT Request: How can you get the little things not get to you? I’m easily influenced by small things people say/do. Too easily. People always tell me, ‘take a breath, don’t waste your energy on it/them, think about something nice,’ but that doesn’t help for me. Tiny things like people being rude for no reason can spoil my entire day. My head will continue to scream, to argue, and I can stay mad over somethi…

LPT Request: How to stop hating winter and living it normally So, am a big fan of the sun and all the energy it gives me, even extremely hot temperatures, mainly because i can deal with it with less resources, like a simple fan would do the job for me, but when winter comes, it just feels like death for me, especially that I don’t have heating in my house, which is the main reason i hate winter, but am jus…

LPT Request: how do you stop getting snail mail for other people? I live in a house that I’m pretty sure used to be a halfway house. I get mail for about 30-50 different people that don’t live here. I’ve sent them back (RTS), I’ve talked with my mail carrier, I’ve put up a big sign saying that only LASTNAME lives here, I’ve filed a “change of address” form (multiple times). Nothing that I do seems to help. Sho…

LPT: Complaining to a company about their products and services. Use this tip and out which companies are letting you vent to someone who potentially doesn’t give a damn about your problems. I say potentially because there are good workers in this area, but having 20+ years experience in the field I know and have seen a thing or two.. When calling any major corporation, it’s very likely the representative tha…
