Haha same - it has helped a lot in the communication with the girlfriend

Always do your best at everything you do. Once that becomes your standard kick it up a notch and do even better, then make it the standard, rinse and repeat. Don't worry about what you can and can't do, don't spend time feeling bad for yourself. Just do what you can do and do it to the best that you can do one day at a time.

Your biggest challenge will be earning their respect. They’re not your coworkers anymore - they are your team members.

Two things will happen:

1. Your former coworkers will try to get away with things because they think you’re cool. It’s tempting to give into that. But you’ll learn very quickly this is favoritism, and it will be to the detriment of everyone

2. You’ll make decisions that former coworkers will not like. They will go behind your back and say “former boss would have done it this way.” Or “Why should I listen to you?”

That’s why you have to earn their respect from day one. Let them know you have their back - and you’re their defense attorney. But also let them know what your expectations are.

Give positive feedback when you see them doing something that you like, or that they did well. Thank your team OFTEN and make sure they know when they’re doing a great job. It’s very easy to have a “no news is good news” attitude as a manager, and I’m guilty of it myself; but they need to hear these things. Otherwise you get burnout, you get imposter syndrome

Giving negative feedback is hard… but sometimes you gotta do it. Avoiding negative feedback will only be to their detriment - if they’re doing something wrong, they need to know, so they can be given a chance to correct it

Your standard will be higher now. If you’re looking at your phone, your team will notice. If you’re late, your team will notice. If you dip out early Friday, or show up hungover after Super Bowl Sunday… your team will notice. Always lead by example

If you make a mistake, own up the mistake, but don’t harp on it too much. That will only encourage others to focus on your error, instead of your solution. Approach things in a solution focused way.

Yup, it definitely helps with my spouse. Sometimes she doesn't want me to fix something she just wants me to listen

Find what you are good at and do that.

We need the service people of the world more than we need CEOs.

People need help. Find a way to help them. It can be very satisfying.

You have four classes of fires:

Before anyone corrects me, this isn’t all inclusive, there are always exceptions and weird cases, but for the layperson these are what those classes of fires are.

Class A - generally anything that ashes, paper, wood, etc

Class B - chemicals and grease

Class C - electrical fires, like your circuit box

Class D - metal (you probably won’t see this far)

In America there’s a fifth class, Class K, which is kitchen fires. In general this is just a cute way of saying a Class B fire. Most home fire extinguishers are going to be rated for A, B/K, and C. This depends on the agent used to fight the fire.

The first two on this list are key. A lot of times people venting just want you to go ‘mmm yeah’, ‘oh that sucks’, ‘I can’t believe that happened to you’

Sorting out those times from the people who want advice is important

Set small goals and objectives that you can easily check off one by one. Most times we set such high standards for ourselves when learning something new. When i wanted to learn guitar i decided to learn one song and master that instead of learning all the chords or like three songs at once. It made it fun and learned the nuances of guitar slowly.

Hair dryer isn’t good for ur skin and prolonged exposure to hot air will dry ur skin out and can accelerate ur skin to age.

Hello!

There are many people who share the same tendencies, you're not alone with this!

May I suggest you look at some online questionnaires around mental health? You may gain some deeper insight into what's happening. It might be worth trying to talk to a health professional, they may be able to point you in the direction strategies and ways to help you learn faster in new ways.

Best of luck!

Also take a look at your local tool rental places.

If you are doing something of a larger scale (like painting your house) renting the right equipment will save you time and money in the long run. (And plus you don’t have to find place to store everything.)

I can't do this. No matter the hobby (they come and go), if I start the next thing it's a one-way ticket to realizing it's 3a.m. and I gotta get up at 6 for work.

However what I like to do is a reset. If I'm sewing, that means removing any lint, oiling the machine, tidying up the work area and refilling the bobbins for the next project. But I gotta leave the project itself unstarted otherwise... see above ;)

Additional tip: if you drink tonic (in the US this means soda with quinine in it, not a general medicinal drink) or take quinine pills then mosquitos won't bite you.

I drank tonic like it was water one summer just because I liked it, and I realised in the fall that I had gotten bitten exactly once, whereas usually I am the person around the campfire who is SWARMED with them. I'll take the dog for a walk in 90 degree heat and still put on long socks, pants, and a sweatshirt just to try to block them, and will still get bitten around the face. So it was definitely the tonic that helped.

DO NOT follow the above tip if you are on medication that would interact with quinine. If you can't eat grapefruit while on your meds, you can't have quinine. Check that shit first. It's much more common than you might think.

They also make bug repellent lotion, so there's an option other than spray!

What was school like for you? It's possible that you have an undiagnosed disability if it seems like you learn things slower than your peers.

As far as self-esteem goes, no one can teach you that. It's something you have to learn on your own. Therapy is the best tool to help you through it.

Yes. Objectivity is your friend. Friendship is your enemy.

CAR DEODORIZER- feels like r/DIWHY material. I had a idiot boss that pretty much touted the same thing about the “wonders” of vinegar and blasted the interior of his leased G80 company vehicle, for reasons.. It was like opening a bag of salt and vinegar chips in my face every time I stepped into that car. Blegh

That’s why they make specific cleaners.
