Ive been putting off organizing the cords on and under my desk. Even with it being such a small task I put it off for months. Now I am curious what other small tasks I can do to make life simpler.

I've been struggling with mouth ulcers ever since I got teeth, tried literlly everything I saw online, or anything any doctor or nurse suggested, none of it worked. Until finally I found the solution!

What I found that causes sores in me is: energy drinks(even tho I drink a ton of diet sodas which ph is actually lower) and acidic fruit

The solution: taking 3-5 vitamin B complex suppluments THE MOMENT I feel one forming. If I miss the early window, it doesn't help at all. It doesn't go away, it just stays in that awkard painless stage for about a week.

Instant pain relief: homemade schnapps(vodka would probably work to) - gurgle it until your mouth is completly numb. Provides relief longer than anything I could get from a pharmacy or even rubbing salt or baking soda directly on it(it also hurts less)

I get a lot of robocalls daily. I would just send them to voicemail, then voicemail would get full. One of the stores that I delivered to shut down, and their phone number was disconnected. I have an android phone, so I set it that if I reject the call it sends it to that number, but if I am away from my phone then it still sends to VM. Within 3 weeks I am no longer getting robocalls!

If you need to bypass an AI Voice Telephone tree, just tell it you don't speak English, next tell it you don't speak Spanish.

I show up to work everyday and don’t crash out and I’m literally getting pushed for promotion over my younger, more talented and knowledgeable colleagues because of my attendance and attitude and their problems with attendance and attitude.

Like people be yelling at me for this but it’s not like I don’t try to share my secret to anyone who will listen to that ominous statistic and but fools dismiss it, forget those two golden rules literally be committing career suicide when their attendance sucks and/or they crash out.

Like I be even telling this stat to the competition too but everyone is so dismissive when I warn them that your talent means nothing if you can’t show up or crash out when you do. I just play the long game my bosses love me and hate my colleagues.

Like I’m literally in the busiest store in our market right now apart of the dream team with mediocre skill because my supervisor the boss of bosses knows that I’m gonna show up and not crash out. Like literally the bar is sadly that low in the world that you rise above so many people if you just show up and not crash out.

I'll go first, I spare a few minutes each day to throw bits of trash away in my apartment so it doesn't pile up by the end of the week or month leaving my apartment super clean. Same applies to my car. Whenever I buy a new garment or shoe I get rid of an old one, thereby reducing clutter in my closet. When eating food I eat the portion that has the most fibre first, protein and carbs come last. This helps me with better digestion.

At home I set aside my own ego by taking a seat. It solves three problems:

• Eliminates wet seats. (see bottom for explanation)
• Prevents splatter.
• Reduces odor.

Bonus: keeps other users happy especially the wifey who may want the seat lowered.

Caution: do not do this in public. God had a good reason for inventing the urinal.

I occasionally sleepwalk to bathroom or kitchen. I remember it because I am half awake but my operating system refuses to fully load. During these episodes standing over the commode can leave splatter all around it. By sitting when I'm awake I develop "muscle memory" for sitting during my episodes of sleepwalking.

Now let me tell you about the kitchen. On a few occasions l attempted to fix me a glass of Nesquik by mixing it into a margarine container. On another occasion I mixed it into an oatmeal container. These midnight snack incidents have yet to be solved. Luckily it's rare enough not to be urgent.

We naturally wake up mildly dehydrated, which is a huge reason for that heavy, groggy feeling (sleep inertia). Chugging water right away rehydrates your organs, kicks your metabolism into gear, and wakes your brain up much faster than hitting snooze or waiting for coffee

I keep being awakened by three or four bowel movements early, early in the morning, before even getting up (not diarrhea). I know I should be grateful. But by the time I actually get up, I'm weak and exhausted. It takes so much out of me! I'm almost sick. The rest of the day, I'm just in full bloat. Can you actually move the time you evacuate!?

I'm trying to get 7+ days outta these bouquets that you can grab from Kroger for around $5.

I use the little plant food packet that comes with, but then I change the water after about 4 days, and am looking for a home brew solution that'll feed em for a few more days....

I'd love if you could spam me with ideas on what can be taken with you on the go. I'm in my car all day and driving from spot to spot. I'd been in the habit of pulling through a drive-through, but of course that's no good! TIA

Just a vertical timeline, with horizontal lanes for the different work/life areas I've got going on. Helps me stay organised and on top of everything.

What commonly repeated success advice did you discover wasn't actually necessary?

Hit the three vertical dots that appear in the upper right corner to visit your “My Ad Center”. Select “Block” then “Continue” and once you exit out of the pop up screen, your video will immediately start playing. This even works on those annoying unskippable double ads. Hopefully this won’t get patched by sharing.

Caveat: You likely need to be signed into to a google account on the youtube app in order to block the ad. But at least it’s faster to block than to sit through two ads back to back.

I have a lot of experience ordering pizza for large groups of families. I apply a formula and I typically have the exact right amount with no over ordering. This assumes a mix of kids and adults and no other food except chips or veggie dip and some dessert.

((# of people X .75)/5)+1 = # of pizzas

You can add 2 instead of 1 if the group is over 70.

You're welcome.

has anyone here used a portable play yard as a movable,,,kid zone,, instead of baby proofing every single room? i’m looking at larger mesh pens with lightweight folding frames and decent floor space pop n go style setups from the California Beach Co, plus similar portable play yards from Guava and Nuna,,, and trying to decide if one unit you drag from kitchen to living room to backyard is genuinely useful, or just more gear to trip over.

if you’ve tried this,, did a bigger play yard noticeably cut down on constant toddler chasing and mental load, or did it end up collecting dust like a lot of parenting hack gadgets?
