Reply to LPT never delete voicemails of loved ones, especially on holidays. by WindowMoon

My Dad passed away around a year and a half ago. I listened to the last few voicemail messages he had left me right after my sister called to tell me he was gone.

I wanted to save those messages so that I could listen to them again, but I was too emotional to go into my voicemail and save them or archive/back them up and they eventually got deleted.

All that to say.... I 1000000000000000000 percent agree with this post. Even if it's painful or difficult, save those messages! You will miss being able to listen to them once they're gone.

Audiobooks are definitely a godsend. Depression killed my attention span. Not being able to read made it worse because reading was my coping mechanism. Finding audiobooks may have literally saved my life. I can do things while "reading", and doubly helpful, I still get reading in being a full-time stay at home mom.

Reply to LPT if you have to choose a hotel take the cheap one but most expensive room, rather than a expensive hotel but a cheap room by SupermarketMoist6282

I stayed in the cheapest room in a fancy downtown hotel a few years ago. The lobby was breathtaking, the knob to control the shower fell off in my hand. What’s your experience with staying in an expensive room in a cheap hotel? Is it cleaner and better maintained than the rest of the place, do you think?

Reply to LPT request: how do you study for an exam if you struggle with memorization by onefootback

Put it on flashcards. Or rather, write in longhand with a pen or pencil your important notes. The act of writing it out embeds it deeper in your memory than reading or typing it. You don't have to use the flash cards, though they can help you identify the areas you need to focus on, i.e. read it and write it again. Or sing it, or recite it while dancing.

Math, you just have to keep practicing. Find more problems online to practice, do it on paper with a pencil.

Reply to comment by duende_master in LPT: Everyone is weird. Embrace your weirdness that brings you joy. Those that judge you for being weird have their own weird thing going on. by [deleted]

Sure, but what is stopping them to saying exactly what they mean? The best way to communicate that you are uncomfortable with my behavior or if I'm not reading the room is to say exactly that to me. Not make me the outgroup by calling me weird. Oh, and no, they aren't trying to spare my feelings.

Whats really helped me is removing myself from places I sleep. I found myself not paying attention at all if I tried reading in bed or on the couch but if I tried an area I never slept or associated with resting/sleep my attention would drastically increase. Sometimes the material can be dry as well so I for one experiment with audiobooks as well if I find I'm having a hard time with reading the material.
