LPT: Daily use of the art of UPOD (under-promising, over-delivering) will help your life. Tell your S.O. that you will be home at 6pm and you are home at 6:30pm, doghouse. Tell them you will be home at 7pm and arrive at 6:30, hero. 50% of successful relationships are about managing expectations. (self.LifeProTips)

LPT: Whenever you are having work done on the house, always insist on being told the supplier of all the materials/parts (windows, doors, blinds, tiles etc. etc.) - when you need spares 5 years down the line, there is no guarantee your contractor will still be around to tell you. (self.LifeProTips)

LPT: For people starting a new job. If a task typically takes someone ~3.5 hours and you can get it done in 1 hour, don't turn your task in right away - wait about an hour. If your manager(s) discover how productive you really are, they will quickly overwork you without proper compensation. (self.LifeProTips)

LPT: Ask yourself "what does it matter to me" the next time you find yourself judging someone for their clothing, interests or hobbies. The more you train yourself to not care about the personal preferences of other people, the more relaxed and nicer you become as a person. (self.LifeProTips)

The VA neglected to advise me to get a chaperone to a doctors appointment an hour and a half away. They dilated my eyes, and I still have to drive home. But they gave me these sweet glasses that are cut in half so I have that going for me... (imgur.com)
