Title
Emotional and ready to quit your job/break up with someone/confront someone?
Write down what you want to say/write. WRITE IT ALL DOWN.
Wait 24 hours. Read it again.
Do you still think you should send it? Then send it.
80% of the time my issue was stupid and my reaction inappropriate, but because I kept my mouth shut, all I had to do was tear up a piece of paper.
Thanks dad. That’s served me well.
Also, even if you are making the right descision in breaking things off, often the more you say the more ammo/pain you are giving to the other party. Most of the time, the “wait 24h” trick makes you realize you are saying too much.
Never make fun of someone’s job. No matter how “beneath you” it is, somebody has to do it, and we should all appreciate that they do it.
What about looksmaxing influencers? I can make fun of their job right?
I think the jury is still out on whether or not that’s a job, so I think it’s allowed for now.
My brother keeps bringing up parking wardens and no matter how I’m trying to put myself in their (employer’s) shoes, I’m unable to convince him.
No, your brothers right. Fuck those assholes.
Hey, there’s always exceptions to the rule. 🤷🏻♂️
Everyone’s got a job, so they can feed themselves at least
Also, they don’t make the rules, they just implement them. They’re not the cause, just the symptom. Go for the cause.
Don’t Panic
Might not ever be the best piece of advice, but it’s always the second best piece of advice in any situation
This is a good piece of advice for hitchhiking around the galaxy
This was specific to calculus homework but it has turned out to be very good advice, “when you don’t know what to do, do something”. Often decisions can be paralyzing or problems can feel insurmountable but doing nothing is a choice. Very rarely is it the best one.
Me: this seems like sound reasoning, I should follow it and be more decisive
My ADHD:
Yeah. I see a lot of people get stuck on problems where they get free iterations because they try a couple of things, get stuck, and require others to come up with more ideas.
Analysis paralysis is real. And it’s funny, I joke that I made a lot of poor decisions as a kid, I was impulsive, did what came to mind, but it all led me to a pretty good life, and so I’m all about just do it and deal with it.
I am not sure that’s a good in idea, but I’ll reassess from my deathbed.
When I got my first car my grandmother told me “don’t do anything to it that makes it stand out to the police.”
Never compare yourself to others but only to yourself from the past.
Be grateful for what you have.
Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are. I thought it was stupid when I heard it as a kid, but it’s the damned truth and I turned my life for the better after cutting loose some people I should not have called my friends.

Learn how to deal with people.
No matter what you do in life you have to deal with people in some way. Even if they are paid to do what you tell them it’s a huge difference if they put your request on the top or bottom of their pile.
Live below your means, but not too far.
An okay plan applied immediately and vigorously is INFINTELY better than a perfect plan ten minutes too late.
Professionally, the question that needs to get answered isn’t the question being asked. Always get context.
Lefty loosey righty tighty
I always said it righty tighty, lefty loosey.
I also said feed a fever starve a cold, which was apparently wrong, so I don’t trust myself.
I thought it was, “feed a fever, starve a flu”, because you probably shouldn’t eat much when you can’t keep anything down.
So it’s apparently feed a cold starve a fever, but I thought the Fs going together sounded better.
