LPT: Set up two bank accounts so you can have your fixed costs run in the background while using the second one in everyday life. It's like giving yourself an allowance and it has oftentimes saved my not-brilliant-at-moneymanagement ADHD brain from messing with my payments by spending impulsively.

LPT: When you’re overwhelmed, frustrated, scared, angry, etc with yourself, visualize your brain as a separate character. Give it a face and body if you like. Imagine what it is doing when you are overwhelmed. Then speak to it and empathize with it.

LPT: In most cases you don't need to wash your clothes with hot water. Heating the water takes up almost 90% of the energy expenditure of a washing machine. Most detergents nowadays don't even need high temperatures and work fine in the cold. It's better for your wallet and the environment.

While companies may have comfy, touchy-feely cultures, companies’ will throw you away like an old toy as soon as that saves a cent. Stay loyal only to your coworkers and your loved ones.

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.
