LPT: These days, people like to back up their point of view by talking about 'the science.' Be aware that science and logic are not the same thing and interpretation of data by scientists, in particular in health and life sciences, varies WILDLY. Ask them to describe what the data showed.

LPT: If you get a good haircut, after thanking the person who did it, take a series of selfies. That way, the next time you go in you can just show them how you want it to look instead of fumbling around trying to give instructions.

LPT: A good way to gain a deeper understanding of a subject is to try to explain the thing you are learning about to someone else. If you can't do that, or they seem confused, you don't really understand it yet.

Anyone else finding browsing painfully slow in Safari 14.0.1?

LPT: Running back to check whether you left the door unlocked, the iron on, or closed the windows? Take a mental 'snapshot' by purposefully blinking at the moment you do thing you want to fix in your memory. It works.

LPT: Sometimes you'll wake up and just know your day is going to be utterly unproductive. On these occasions it is often better to simply accept you aren't going to get anything useful done today and grant yourself the day off. The worst of all world's is doing nothing and not even enjoying it.

LPT: Computer slow as hell but not ready to upgrade? Then it might be time to embrace computer minimalism. Format disk. Clean OS install. Essential software only. Visual trickery off. No startup programs. Plain black wallpaper. Autohide the dock. Cloud storage everything. Zero clutter.

LPT: Unless you are Richard Feynman, being smart will not compensate for being difficult in the workplace. Unfair as it may seem, getting on well with your coworkers is weighted disproportionately higher than being technically competent when it comes to overall performance evaluations.

LPT: Nobody at the end of their natural life shook their head and thought 'If only I'd worked harder.' Remember that next time you feel guilty about slacking off a little.

LPT: Onslaught of bad news grinding you down? Instead of reflexly hitting up social media for more of the same, make a conscious effort to seek out and learn something about positive trends in extreme poverty, child mortality, and girls' education. Gapminder is a great place to start.

LPT: One of the worst pieces of advice you'll ever hear is 'Never give up.' Irrespective of how much time, money and effort you've already expended, if something just isn't working out, shut it down, write it off and start again. In time you will get better at identifying your failures faster.
