Here are this week’s Life Pro Tips.
1. As you get older, do your best to get used to being taught things by people younger than you, respecting them for their knowledge. don’t condescend because of their age or take it as a hit to your own ego.
2. If you ever become homeless, KFC and Dunkin Donuts dumpsters will feed you quite well.
3. If you are looking for someone to handle your money, always ask if they are a “fiduciary.” A fiduciary is someone required legally and ethically to put their client’s interests first over their own. Anyone else is probably just a salesman pretending to be a financial expert.
4. Fellow male employers – period pains can be extremely debilitating. Don’t begrudge a person’s need to take regular time off work for a natural process they have no control over.
Not only should it be common decency, but you’ll also earn the respect of your female employees and ultimately provide a more comfortable workspace for those who need it, resulting in higher staff satisfaction, quality of work, and retention.
5. For when I can’t fall asleep, keeping a notebook next to my bed and writing whatever thought that’s keeping me up. It works best when it’s things I have to do the next day, but even if it’s just random thoughts, putting them on paper helps my brain understand that we’ll deal with them tomorrow.
