Guy Shares 10 Useful Life Tips That Will Surely Make Your Life A Little Simpler Than Before
User @chrishlad came up with the concept of finding the greatest life tips that everyone would like to know.
Some of the simplest life tips are the ones people remember for years, and this roundup leans hard into that idea. A few small habits, a couple of clever shortcuts, and one very practical reminder can make everyday life feel a lot less messy.
Here, the focus is on a set of useful tips that cover everything from communication and work habits to tiny digital tricks.
By the end, one or two of these may feel surprisingly familiar, and a few might be worth keeping close. Read on.
1. The airplane mode hack.
This is an incredible hack when you have an annoying boss or a relative who just won't hang up and is wasting tons of your precious time. Cutting the call would be rude, and they might just call back, so use this hack instead.
chrishlad2. Anger and mistakes.
We should never get angry with someone who made a mistake because if a person makes a mistake, it means they are trying, which shows their effort. So look at the bright side: the person is trying to do their best but fails.
Motivating them rather than getting angry would bring out the best in them.
chrishlad3. Use open source rather than free.
If you are not skilled at hacking into software to get a free version that is not limited to a trial version and doesn't have malware, use this hack and enjoy your free software for a lifetime.

4. Tips on arguments.
If the person cannot answer the question, "What proof would change your mind?" then you are arguing with someone who has little to no details or information on the topic. It is better to walk away and stop wasting your time rather than trying to change the other person's mind.

5. Keep your cool.
This is an excellent way to avoid getting insulted for no reason by higher authorities who like to take their anger out on their innocent juniors. The genuine ones who are just a little irritated would accept their mistake, but the rude ones might repeat themselves and reveal their true selves.

That first tip is the kind of thing people wish they had known sooner.
This also fits a chatty coworker who keeps interrupting, and the question of whether to address it.
6. Never vent at work.
Making friends at your workplace is fine, but be careful about whom you befriend. Never vent about work or a coworker because you never know when you might end up in an argument with the person you thought was your friend, and all your secrets could be on display.

7. Reframing your day.
Dividing your day into segments can help you get back on track after ruining one part of the day. It is also an effective way to bring out your full potential at work and compare your progress in pieces instead of days.

8. Family treasure.
This is an excellent way to learn from elders, as it gets passed down from generation to generation, which might bring forth some of the most helpful and valuable advice from years ago from our ancestors.

One of these is the sort of family lesson that sticks around for years.
9. Email address hack.
This is a handy hack for all working-class people, especially those whose work involves a lot of mailing or online tasks.
Use this hack to make organizing your accounts and free trials easy.

10. Difference between e.g. and i.e.
Finally, someone said it! e.g., stands for "exempli gratia," which means "for example." If you want to give someone an example, it helps them understand the information on that topic better.
Whereas, i.e., stands for "id est," or "that is." It is used to add additional information to the first part of the sentence and provide a little more context to the reader.
