LPT: If you call a company to speak to customer service but the automated menu won't let you talk to a real person, say "Upgrade my account" instead of "Refund" or "Cancel," when the automated menu asks you to state why you're calling. You will immediately be transferred to a real person

LPT: If a small business gives you discounts or free item/service to resolve a genuine issue you had with them, don't mention it in public reviews/forums, people will try to take advantage, they'll use your review as precedent and an excuse to be a shitty customer

LPT: Got a Steam gift card for Christmas? Hold on to it after you put the code in. If your account gets hacked, you can use the old code to recover your account.

LPT: If you always listen to music or the radio when you drive, make sure to do occasional drives without sound to listen to your car for a few minutes. There could be something quietly scraping, grinding, or dragging and you would never hear it until it’s too loud and too late.

LPT: To heat yourself during the winter, have a hot water bottle on your legs while sitting down doing your work, it will conduct through the rest of your body and will heat you almost the same as a heater would do at a small fraction of the cost. Energy prices are far too much, be safe this winter

LPT: Take a few days to familiarize yourself with a spreadsheet app (e.g., MS Excel, Google Sheets). The uses are endless for school, the office, life, and other people will think you're a wizard.

LPT: try not to be toxic or rude to anyone in online games or forums this week. As there are alot of people who have no family and want to distract themselves from this. Instead be kind and thoughtful. (This goes all year around aswell)

LPT: Train yourself to immediately start recognizing every instance of care shown towards you. Make this a priority, and you'll honestly feel a bit guilty over the sheer abundance of love you were too caught up in your own head to notice. It was always there. Sincerely appreciate it.

LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth.
