LPT: Save Voicemail Recordings There used to be an app/service (in the UK) around 2010ish, called Hullomail, that captured your mobile voicemail messages and emailed them to you as a sound file attachment. Unfortunately it only seemed to work for a short time (prob cos it was free) – maybe about a year – but in my case, luckily, it captured several voicemails left by my paren…

LPT Split your money into more than one bank account. Don’t say you don’t have enough for two accounts. The less money you have, the more important it is to protect yourself. I know a few people who have been scammed lately. Fortunately, it hasn’t happened to me, but it seems to happen to people who can least afford it. So open a second bank account… Even if it’s in the same bank. So if a scammer…

LPT: If a song is stuck in your head, play that song’s ending. Whenever a song gets stuck in my head (looking at you, All About That Bass), I play the last part of the song on my phone or imagine the ending in my head. This signals to my brain that the song has finished and it can now focus on something else. submitted by /u/Omer-Ash

LPT: Bring oranges on flights! 🍊🍊 (US DOMESTIC MAINLAND FLIGHTS) You can use the orange peel as a natural air freshener. Especially if seated near bathrooms..sharing the cabin air space with so many people can be challenging. Broccoli cheddar farts and all🥴 Zesty TSA submitted by /u/Arkupp

LPT: If your shoes smell bad, stuff them with newspaper overnight. Newspaper absorbs moisture and odor. Stuff your shoes with it overnight, and you’ll find them fresher in the morning. submitted by /u/AriaReese89

LPT: If your plastic wrap keeps tearing unevenly, store it in the fridge. Chilling plastic wrap makes it much easier to cut and manage without it sticking or tearing submitted by /u/ScarlettDavis41

LPT: Micellar water can be a great stain remover Discovered on holiday last week that micellar water seems to lift most stains from clothes in seconds. Just remembered this as I dribbled red wine on my sand coloured sweater and micellar water has removed it entirely. submitted by /u/biometricrally

LPT what to do with leftover wrapping paper When you have stray pieces of wrapping paper, roll them up and store them on the inside of the tube 🙂 Happy festive season! submitted by /u/Xephhpex

LPT: Use your phone’s “Do Not Disturb” for productivity, not just when you sleep. Set “Do Not Disturb” during work or study hours to block out distractions. You’ll be amazed how much more focused you are when the pings are silent. submitted by /u/WellsLucy

LPT: Most things have a warranty you probably never use. When folks think of warranties, they tend to think of large purchases: cars, computers, etc. Nearly everything you buy has a warranty you can register for, though, that is often seamless to redeem – even all those Amazon brands! I found myself often replacing things that broke or stopped working rather than simply checking in on their warranty….

LPT: If you moved, be sure to update your E911 Location in your phone as well. I moved over a year ago, and just today I was looking at my data usage and remembered I never updated my E911 location, it still had my old address listed. To change this setting for iPhone’s, it’s located under Settings – > Cellular -> Wi-Fi Calling submitted by /u/Auxilae

LPT: Socks over your shoes to stop slipping in ice and snow If you get caught slipping down your driveway, foot bridge, or whatever else, take the socks off your feet and put them over your shoes instead. Even if it’s just the toes. Might make for some gross socks, but it beats falling and getting hurt! Especially if you don’t have crampons handy submitted by /u/SnowDrifter_

LPT Measure your feet and hands. My feet are a foot long (handy!) this makes it very easy to quickly measure an area by walking toe to toe. Likewise, knowing the size of your hand, or the distance between thumb and finger at full stretch allows you to quickly measure things with a greater degree of accuracy than eyeballing it. Please note, some body parts are not suitable for …

LPT: Do something for the first time here and there The first time seeing the world. The first time saying a word. The first time touching the grass. The first time looking through glass. The first kiss under a tree. The first view along the sea. The first gift you didn’t see… …coming: a hug, a cat, a little note from your friend. Life is so much more worth living when we sometimes become a c…

LPT: RTFM. (read the f*in manual) Lots of people can figure out the basics of how to operate or use some new item, but there are often safety issues, hidden features, maintenance or troubleshooting gems in there that can save you a lot of time, headaches, and cost in the future. submitted by /u/VeryLastBison

LPT – Mute the ad breaks! Tiz the season to get adverts! But instead of being forced to watch loud obnoxious targeted ads – try muting the volume! This is so much more effective than you might think. Sound is such a pivotal part of any video and taking this away actually gives you a break instead of them stealing your time. Try this out for yourself and you’ll actually f…

LPT – managers are only concerned with one thing That isn’t your wellbeing, that isn’t your compensation, that isn’t your career. A manager is there to ensure the team is operating. Appease the manager and your life will be less stressful. No one is interested in your feedback, and if they ask for it, it’s just for appearances. EDIT #1: I should have included the caveat that this is for profes…

LPT – Shopping 🛍️ Whenever shopping, always consider the return periods’ terms, when you might be on the fence. If there’s a flexible enough return policy, use it as a cooling off period. If you change your mind, no harm, no foul, return the merchandise, or get a price adjustment if it goes on sale. There‘s nothing like returning to the site of a deal you passed…

LPT: never sit on the end of a bench Unless all spots in the middle are taken, especially if you are unfamiliar with how sturdy the bench is, don’t assume that it is secured to the ground. submitted by /u/MoonbeamStarcrush

LPT: Screenshot job adverts When you’re applying to jobs, screenshot and save the adverts so that when you’re preparing for an interview you can look back over the advert and remember what they’re asking for. submitted by /u/NarrativeScorpion
