WHAT IS A LIFE PRO TIP?
A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.
Keep in mind that giving someone advice is not the same as giving someone a LPT. Advice is offering someone guidance or offering someone a recommendation.
Examples of advice:
“Always be prepared to leave your employer because they are prepared to leave you.”
“A marriage proposal should not come as a big surprise, despite what you may have seen in the movies.”
“You should go to bed at the same time every night and wake at the same time every morning because it will make you feel great.”
Examples of LPTs:
“Don't buy oven mitts, get welders gloves from a hardware store! They can protect from higher heat and are better made.”
“When microwaving food make it in the shape of a ring or a donut. It heats up significantly quicker and more evenly.”
“If you buy pre-packaged greens like spring mix or spinach, adding a paper towel to the container prolongs the life by at least a week and prevents soggy and wilted leaves.”
“If you have bad smelling shoes, place a few dry tea bags inside each shoe to absorb the smell. If your shoes are not just smelly but also wet, fill them with a mixture of rice and baking soda and leave for a few days.”
