LPT: Use Archival ink and paper when writing things people might care about later.
When you want to record a recipe, write wedding vows, send a meaningful sentiment, or leave any kind of information for the future, there are papers and inks which are less likely to fade or fail over time.These are not always very expensive, and are available at most craft stores and art supplies.

LPT: Use thank you notes as a powerful way to express your gratitude. Research shows people 1) underestimate how surprised the recipient will be about why expressers are grateful; 2) overestimate how awkward recipients will feel; and 3) underestimate how positive recipients will feel.
One more good part of the article below: "Can't find the perfect words? Doesn't matter. As with any gift -- like praise and recognition, gratitude is a gift -- it's the thought that counts. What you write is far less important than the fact you wrote it."This is a good article on this topic: https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/why-emotionally-intelligent-people-embrace-power-of-awkward-thank-you-notes-backed-by-science.html?utm_source=newsletters&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=IncTop10-Jan%2014,%202023&leadId=4170423&mkt_tok=NjEwLUxFRS04NzIAAAGJVKSncR89GoCoBz3Emge2azaashli9DqgbYTqez9X3jDUy0H6KPr1UoiS3HMNslTe77q5G0hQk5eY3d7pSx1FIJ7E--lr_6YRt3ebZPZZ

LPT: When starting a new hobby or project, check with your local library for resources before purchasing expensive equipment.
My local library offers so many services and classes. I am always surprised when people are unaware of these resources. They have 3d printers, vinyl printers, recording studios, kitchen tools, a seed library, and so many other things. They usually charge for the supplies but it is far cheaper than investing in a 3d printer that isn’t utilized. They offer classes and instruction for free so you can learn the equipment before you invest in soldering expensive. I understand that not all libraries offer this but it is worth a look. Our library even has an auditorium that shows movies for free. We took our daughter to movies there before she was too little for a theater. Once she could sit through a movie at the library, we knew we would be safe to take her to a real theater.

LPT: Realize that sleeping on a futon when you’re 35 isn’t the worst thing. What’s worse is sleeping on a king bed next to a wife you’re not really in love with, but for some reason you married and had a couple kids with, and you have a job that you hate.
You’ll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon.There’s no risk when you go after a dream, but a tremendous risk to playing it safe.

LPT: if you're struggling to fall asleep for more than an hour, get out of bed and do something for 15 minutes to reset your body's internal bedtime routine
I'm bad at phrasing things, but basically it's as the title says. Trying to fall asleep for more than an hour can be frustrating, which hinders falling asleep. Your internal clock didn't reach "bedtime" like it usually does after your nightly routine. If you get up, do something else for 15 minutes, and lay down again, you'll be much more likely to fall asleep. It resets the "time to fall asleep" cycle.I do this every night that I'm struggling to sleep and it has never failed me. I recommend it to everyone struggling with sleep and they say it helps when they aren't able to fall asleep.

LPT: If you can’t return the hospitality, bring the hospitality.
Not everyone lives in a situation where they can return hospitality by hosting. If that’s you and you don’t want to be excluded bring the party with you. Sometimes that’s the meal, sometimes that’s the bar. If you can’t afford that stay around to clean up after (with permission of course).

Please use it. I see do many people who do not know about it, but complain about the stories they don't care about.Websites that don't have the button often are just recipes, or are not worth it.

One time I locked myself out of the car. It took the locksmith like 2 minutes to get the car open and cost $75 buck or something. After that I resolved to never need a locksmith again and developed this policy.

LPT: If you’re out and want a fast, inexpensive meal, but not fast food, go to the grocery store.
Most grocery stores have a hot and prepared food section. You can often get thinks like sandwiches, pizza, wings, salads, sushi, and more. Plus you have a whole store of snacks and drinks to choose from. Some even have sitting areas. They are often the same price or cheaper than fast food, and have some healthier options.

I recently bought a condo and my upstairs neighbors' kids are so loud - running, banging, crashing, jumping on the bed. It's an older building and I expect noise to travel, but this feels excessive to me. Is there any way to address this with them without creating an enemy with a new neighbor?

LPT: If you think someone may not remember you: start the conversation with “I’m ____ we met at ____”. Unless you’re Audrey Hepburn.
But assuming you aren’t Audrey Hepburn playing Sabrina Fairchild, people don’t find it cute when you ask them if they remember you. Your life isn’t a romantic comedy. If there’s even a chance someone may not remember you, just tell them who you are straight away and you’ll probably find they do remember you just maybe not your face or your name or exactly where from.Some people also find it off putting to be remembered so well by (and expected to also remember to the point of a cutesy guessing game) someone who made no impression on them.
