LPT: In what ways can I measure the success of my career progress? So, I’ve been pondering this a lot lately: how the heck do I measure the success of my career journey? Like, it’s not just about climbing the ladder anymore; it’s about feeling fulfilled and making meaningful progress. So, I did some brainstorming, and here’s what I came up with: Skill Growth: Are you learning new things and honing your expert…

LPT to women from a man: If you’re physically threatened by a man, just kick him in the nuts As a man, I’m very sympathetic to the fact that women will often instinctively feel overpowered and helpless whenever threatened with physical harm by a man. Just by the muscular differences alone. So I just want to remind you of the incredible ability you possess to disable a man if you can get a good hard knee to connect with said man’s nutsac…

LPT: Make copies of our pet’s vaccine records. When you get the vaccines done for your pets make copies and keep a set in your car, scanned on your phone, or someplace you can get to them when you have your pet. In most cases if you have to board, (emergency or just on trips), groom, or vet visit you need proof of vaccines before they can see your pet. submitted by /u/GoWest1223

LPT: For the soon to be fathers Buy a cheap set of dumbells that go up to 40lbs. Work your way up to be able to curl 40lbs on each arm and keeping it locked at the carry angle for 30 seconds.

LPT: How to enjoy my life again I find that my days remain the same, working or preparing for my exams. Even in rest days I don’t know what else to do. I do love painting, calligraphy, playing games with friends, but I have stopped doing them for about 2 years. I can’t control myself being anxious about my future such as career, childbirth, fulfilling dreams, retirement and th…

LPT: hotel stays LPT: if you need to last minute cancel a hotel room (or really any kind of reservation) and they’re going to charge you a cancellation fee because of short notice, see if they will reschedule you for no charge.

LPT: Tip for AirTags If you have “floater” AirTags that you use here and there for different things, ALWAYS rename them with their new location as soon as you move them.

LPT: Don’t Use Your Middle Name When Booking A Flight Just a little life pro tip I picked up recently: don’t use your middle name when booking a flight. I know, I know, it sounds weird, but hear me out. So, I was booking a flight the other day, and I decided to use my full name just like it appears on my ID, including my middle name. Turns out, it caused a bit of a headache. When I got to the airpo…

Lpt: agree with someone if you want to prove them wrong Pick a small thing you can see their perspective on and agree with it. This will open up their receptive meter and they are more likely to listen to you prove they are wrong.

Lpt: validate a person if you want to get youe point across If you want a person listen to whatever you want to say, compliment them or make them feel good before you ask anything. Or if a person is trying to talk to you about something but you disagree.

LPT: Dusty old shed that needs to be cleaned out? LPT: Before diving into that dusty old shed, set a bug fogger off in it the night before. Not only will it get rid of the spiders but it will also chase away most furry and scaley creatures. Also works for crawl spaces, but make sure you turn off your HVAC and seal the vents (Glad, Press’N Seal works great for this). submitted by /u/Xish…

LPT : Ask people about how they are doing TODAY I first read this somewhere about a decade ago, so it’s not original to me. When you ask someone “How are you?” add “today” to the end. A la: “How are you today?” I do it all the time now and it’s great! People give more meaningful answers and even if they are quiet, they notice my question more. I now add it to my answers too. If people ask “…

LPT: Footwear – don’t underestimate insoles!! OK, I’ve seen so many ‘BIFL’ and other such requests for footwear recommendations from people who spend the majority of their workday on their feet and pretty much every response ignores the importance, and potential cost savings, of using decent orthotic insoles. DISCLAIMER: I am not medically trained or have any affiliation with a particular b…

LPT: If someone is not smiling do not tell them to smile. Alright first of all I would like to say that I don’t mean if you’re a parent who’s child is being ungrateful you shouldn’t be upset with them. I believe we should be grateful for everything. If someone you know but don’t live with (that could be anyone, like your friends or your extended family) isn’t smiling for some reason don’t tell them to …
