Welcome to LifeProTips!

The purpose of LPT is to provide tips that improve your life in one way or another.

Rules:

  • Prefix your submissions with LPT:. If you don't we'll presume you never read the rules, and your post will be subject to removal.

  • No links to long articles.

  • Don't post LPT "lists" (e.g. 50 Things Every Man Should Know). If you do they'll just get removed by a mod.

  • Refrain from putting profanity in the title.

  • LPTs that suggest taking illegal action will be removed.

  • Designate "adult" or non-family friendly tips as NSFW.

  • No product recommendations for their intended use. We all know that a hammer hits nails into things.

Tips:

  • Search before you submit.

  • Submit tips that you have tried and found to be successful.

  • Keep tips short and concise!

  • Common sense or common courtesy are NOT pro-tip worthy.

  • Need a LPT for something in particular? Start your thread title with: LPT Request.

  • Reporting something? Send a mod a message explaining why.

  • We're launching a weekly newsletter. Click here to get on the list!

You probably know this already, op, but REPOST. I'm not complaining, if I learn something new from a repost who cares.

Been doing this for at least three years now. It's great.

Hey guys, leaving your power cords for phones, devices, etc, actually draws power, wasting your money and being a generally lame thing to do for the world. It's not convenient to unplug every time your aren't using these things, but it's good karma.
