4. When you sign up for anything online, put the website’s name
as your middle name. That way when you receive spam/advert
emails, you will know who sold your info.
5. When you don't have all the facts, try to give people the most
generous reason you can for their behaviour. Annoyingly slow
driver? Maybe it's a mom with a birthday cake in the back. This
mindset will gradually make you less reactive, more
compassionate and more forgiving of your own bad days.
6. When a friend is upset, ask them one simple question before
saying anything else: 'Do you want to talk about it or do you
want to be distracted from it?' or ‘Do you wanna fixing,bitching
or distracted from it?’
8. Instead of feeling that you've blown the day and thinking, "I'll
get back on track tomorrow," try thinking of each day as a set of
four quarters: morning, midday, afternoon, evening. If you blow
one quarter, you get back on track for the next quarter. Fail
small, not big.
16. If someone offers you something you want, take it. Don’t
decline every kind offer out of politeness.
20. If you really want to connect with someone, take them for
a long, scenic walk. Not being face to face takes some of the
pressure off, and the scenery puts you in the right mood to open
up.
21. Ever need another email address but don't want to register
an whole new account? If you add a "+1", "+2", etc. before the
@ in your email address, websites will register it as a new
email, but still send mail to your normal address. Makes
organizing accounts or endless free trials much easier!
