LPT: If you receive a call from your bank ignore it and call them back.

Today I witnessed a successful telephone scam of a colleague happen right in front of me in less than 10 minutes. They changed their number to match that of his bank and used information collected on him to convince him they were who they said they were and they were trying to protect him from fraudulent activity on his debit card.(its not known how they got his information) While they were doing this someone else was listening to the call and impersonating him while they called the actual bank. They then proceeded to transfer a majority of his funds before he ever realized what happened. After hearing the call with the fraud department and additional research we found that this is a very common occurrence. Edit: typos.

LPT - Implement a habit stacking routine: Pair a desired habit with an existing one to make it easier to remember and integrate into your daily life.

Habit stacking is a technique where you pair a new habit you want to adopt with an existing habit that is already ingrained in your daily routine. By doing this, you create a logical and convenient trigger for the new habit, making it easier to remember and integrate into your life.

For example, let's say you want to incorporate reading into your daily routine. If you already have a habit of having a cup of coffee in the morning, you can stack the new habit by deciding to read a few pages of a book immediately after you finish your coffee. The act of finishing your coffee serves as a natural cue to engage in the reading habit.

By leveraging existing habits as reminders, habit stacking increases the likelihood of successfully incorporating new behaviors into your routine. It helps streamline your efforts and eliminates the need for relying solely on willpower or memory.

So, identify the habits you already have and find creative ways to stack new habits onto them to make positive changes in your productivity and daily life.

Finance

LPT: Get your vehicle detailed when getting car fever. The new car feel can get you a long way.

We were getting heavy car fever to get a new car that would be a little nicer, but our 7 year old Camry had no issues and meets our needs. We agreed to get it detailed ($300 for the showroom level detailing) and it had a much bigger impact than we even expected. The car looks better than the day we bought it from the dealer and definitely put our mind at ease to keep driving it "until the wheels come off". The cost of detailing is going to be way less than even the transaction fees on a new car and has an outsize impact in our experience.

LPT: Need to run errands? Eat first.

Shopping on an empty stomach leads to bad decisions- you’re more likely to buy junk food, rush a purchase, and be irritable with the public.

Social

LPT: Be selective with sharing your opinion. Save it for situations where it truly matters and is appreciated.

Focused discussions: By saving your opinions for situations where they are valued, you can engage in more focused and meaningful discussions. It allows you to contribute in a way that adds value to the conversation and helps avoid unnecessary disagreements or distractions.

Selective impact: When you choose to share your opinion selectively, it carries more weight and influence. People are more likely to pay attention and consider your perspective when they know that you don't voice your thoughts on every topic. This can make your opinion more impactful and lead to more productive outcomes in situations that truly matter to you.

Conserving energy: Constantly sharing your opinion on every matter can be mentally and emotionally draining. By reserving your opinions for meaningful discussions, you can conserve your energy and focus it on matters that truly deserve your attention. This can help you maintain your well-being and prevent burnout.
