Reply to LPT Request - Were you taught organizational skills or you figured it out on your own? by jdn445

I was always pretty good at making lists, and grouping and ordering things based on some kind of logic. I got incredibly good at it from going through PMP certification (project management profession). It's an incredibly cheap, yet incredibly valuable certification that most people can get. Only cost is taking the test for $500 or so. You could buy study books, but I'm sure you can find plenty of free guides online. Even if you don't want to.get the certification, you can still.learn a lot from reading those guides.

Reply to LPT: If your home/car has an odor you can use white vinegar as a extremely effective cleaning solution. by Alucard624

I have sensitive skin and have to use unscented detergent on my clothing lest I break out terribly. Adding white vinegar to the softener dispenser built into my washer eliminates any residual scents like sweat or general front loader must from my clothes so they are acctually sentless. When you don’t have tide or whatever scenting your clothing the scent of fully synthetic fibers like active wear or silk really comes through and I find it unpleasant. H

Sorry for mixing you up with OP - I edited my comment accordingly. You've resorted to name-calling, whereas I'm arguing the facts in question. The word "immediately" appears nowhere in OP's post, nor does any comment regarding the timeline of mixing/application.

Reply to LPT Request: What is the pro tip that helped you to keep yourself extremely focused and disciplined towards your short and long term goals , instead of getting distracted from it? by permission777

Removing blame and judgement of myself was key. Understanding that each day was one small step and not a requim on my character, you know. Discipline and focus aren't things ANYBODY just has, they aren't even really personality traits. You wake up each day and make a value judgement about how you spend your time. Flossing, reading a book, working out, whatever.

Another way I've heard this expressed is that each day you succeed or fail "small". Don't overweight small mistakes.

Lastly, change one thing at a time. It's really hard to form new habits, so make one change and after a few months, if you are holding it steady, make another. Eventually this adds up.

I just recently bought vinegar (to unclog a drain, and yes it worked).

I forgot that the cap isn't very secure and ended up with vinegar spilled on my seat, which ended up in the little pocket in the seat joint (where the extra fabric is, to allow it to recline).

Smelled like vinegar for a few days, now it just smells nice and fresh! Clumsiness for the win, I suppose.
