Reply to LPT request: How do I overcome the freedom and anxiety of having to begin a new day? by itgoesdownandup
Do you know at what point in the day you stop feeling that sense of dread? When does the day begin to feel doable? Also, what do you do at night that you enjoy?

It might help to make a schedule of how frequently cleaning tasks should be done and follow that instead of trying to spot when they need to be done by looking. That might take some stress away.
E.g change bed linen and towels once a week, wipe kitchen counters/table after each meal, sweep kitchen floor each day, mop it once a week, hoover once a week…
No 2 ppl will probably agree about how often everything should be done but it might be a start and help get in a routine.

I’m not American, and not 18 but if you genuinely like your job, don’t risk it for just a few more bucks

This is probably one of the few instances where repetition is a good thing. We all benefit when workers are informed, and folks are horrible about searching for existing info.

Sure can try :
1/ There's water "marks" on the parquet, and I never notice it until it's too late and my family is screaming at me for not noticing it before.
and
2/ What to use when I notice those dry water marks to make it go away.

Reply to comment by Ralh3 in [LPT Request] How to spot stuff that needs to be clean ? by [deleted]
This isn't what I meant, but more like, what can I use to make wood shine, what can I use to remove water spots (I use a tissue or a sponge, but my mom says not to and then never says what to do), what to use to do the windows...
What you said is what I'm doing, but it's not enough. I can wash dishes, but I use "the wrong kind" of soap, you know what I mean ?

You need to talk to a person. These automated things don’t work. Once you talk with. Person you will get interviews galore. I switched positions after 15 years and it used to be that you spoke or contacted a person. Then they looked at your cv etc. I found this automated stuff a barrier. In every interview case I had to call them directly. One possibility that looked perfect did not have a number or email for contact. Thats the only interview I didn’t get. The job had been open for 6 months and was still open 6 months after I signed. Maybe they only look internally, but what a waste.
Utilize any resource in the profession. Friends or professors etc. A lot is who you know. The old boy network still exists. If you have an established person on your side it’s a big coup.

No, people who don't use them fully are 'stupid', to use one of your words (which you've happily used to judge others in comments). There is no scam.

Reply to comment by spageddy_lee in LPT: It's not enough to just "work out," you gotta stretch! by LovingKindnessFGC
This post isn't scientific. You started a different exercise system after cultivating the gains of an intensive, 6 year long flexibility program. One of the major limiting factors for lots of weight lifters is lack of flexibility, and a huge part of why people stop weight training is joint problems, which stretching helps with.
It would be like if a power lifter began running triathlons alone and claimed that their enormous tree trunk legs from 5 years of dead lifting had no bearing on their times.

Reply to comment by GoodGoodGoody in LPT: Don't break out small or corner windows if you lock your keys in your car. by Bailmage
"use a piece of wire to attach it under the vehicle, or somewhere inconspicuous."
He literally said "under the vehicle", not inside of it. If you have the battery on you (or even also attached somewhere), and the spare fob attached to the chassis somewhere, if you're locked out you can pull the spare fob out, put the battery in and be on your way.

It’s always in your best interest to get your money when you’re owed it. The goal is not getting a tax refund and also not owing any taxes.
