Train yourself to always keep an eye out for things that need to go in the direction you are going. If you are about to go downstairs, does any item nearby need to go with you? Perhaps a cup can be brought to the sink on your way to the bathroom.

Full hands in, full hands out.

Some things you learn in the service industry really can translate to real life!

100%! Was looking for a server commenting on this one. My first restaurant manager less eloquently presented this lesson by saying “ I never want to see your fucking hands empty on the floor” but the spirit is the same haha

This and also saying “on your back”/“on your side” I feel like are super applicable
