LPT: Make a “gift list” on your phone starting on January 1st every year. Whenever someone you typically buy gifts for mentions something they want or need, write it down in the gift list. This way you’ll have a list of things to get that person when gift-giving season comes around.

LPT - If you're making a dish to bring to someone's house for Christmas dinner that needs to be refrigerated, either bring a cooler with you or confirm with the host ahead of time that there will be fridge space. Don't just show up and assume there is room in the fridge

LPT: If it's time to break the news to your children about Santa Claus, do it in July on a beach rather than right before or after the holidays. Also, don't wait too long. I still believed until an embarrassingly late age. you all know what I'm talking about. My sons took it a lot better in July.

LPT: Use zero trust with unfamiliar incoming calls - Control the conversation - Do not confirm anything - Ask for their info, hang up, and research!

LPT: After taking a shower, manually wipe yourself down with your hands before using a towel. Your towel absorbing less moisture will allow you to use that same towel more frequently before it needs to be washed.

LPT: Feeling ever-irritable? Close to burning out at work? Finding flaws in people far more easily than virtues? Do yourself a favour and take a ~week off to do nothing at all. Just rest, chill and sleep in. I cannot emphasise enough how much I have benefitted from doing just that for the past week.

LPT: never hire a contractor who complains to you that they're going to have to pull a permit to do work for you. It's extremely common and you'll be left holding the bag if they mess up.

LPT: Don’t wait until you have “free time” to start a fitness program. Because then when you get busy again, you’ll stop. The best time to start is actually when you’re busy. Learning how to fit it in when time’s are tough means you’ll stick with it over the long haul.

LPT: If you feel self conscious at the gym because everybody else seems to be much fitter than you, focus on how much you're helping the next unfit person who walks through those doors, as they won't feel so out of place.

LPT: Many of the problems in a marriage are usually really just problems with being a bad roommate. Learn to be a good roommate, and it'll solve many of the main issues that ruin marriages. This includes communication about something bothering you before you get too angry to communicate properly.
