What are 10 life hacks?
1. If you need to kill someone, do it with a car
The laws in America are less harsh for vehicular manslaughter than regular manslaughter
2. Use the optimal stopping theorem to when confronted with choices
Go through 1/3 (or 37%) of the total choices and then pick the next best one instead of going through all of them.
3. Take a shot of espresso right before a nap
You get a 20 minute nap and awake refreshed
4. Rephrase all the negative shit as positive
Example - I hate it when I'm late = I love it when I'm early
5. Instead of saying I know, say you’re right
When someone tells you something that you already know, instead of being annoyed and imply the other person is dumb, you can confirm that you both are smart.
6. If someone won’t shut up, drop something
They’ll pause when you go to pick it up. Use that opportunity to speak, as you pick up whatever you dropped.
7. Never fill out the "To" field in an email until you're completely done with the email
Otherwise you might accidentally send it before done
8. When splitting something in two, one person divides and the other chooses
That way it always feels fair. Can be used for anything from drugs to piles of laundry to fold.
9. Wait to panic
In an emergency situation or when things seem overwhelming, allow yourself to panic, but do it later. You can even schedule it.
10. 3-thought cutoff
Once a negative thought has repeated in your mind three times, get up and do something else.
11. Hara Hachi Bu
Confucian teaching that you should only eat until you are only 80% full.
