Here are this week’s Life Pro Tips.
1. Never lend money if you wouldn’t be comfortable considering it a gift. There’s always a very real chance you won’t get it back, and you need to be okay with losing that sum.
2. Find out where your pets hide when the fire alarm goes off. This could save their life. And yours.
If there is actually an emergency, you may not have time to go searching for them if there is a raging fire burning down your house. Practice fire safety by tripping the alarm and learning where they go when scared so you can grab them quickly and GET OUT if there is a real fire.
3. When a new coworker starts at your job, offer to be their go-to person in case they forget someone’s name. Starting a new job is stressful, and alleviating this small stressor is an act of kindness that goes a long way as far as making them feel welcome.
4. Use the ‘two-minute rule’ to tackle procrastination.
If you’re prone to procrastination, try using the ‘two-minute rule’ to get things done. The rule is simple: if a task takes two minutes or less to complete, do it immediately. This can include small tasks such as responding to an email, making a phone call, or putting away laundry. By tackling these small tasks right away, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and momentum to keep going. Plus, you’ll be surprised how much you can get done in just a few minutes. So, the next time you’re feeling stuck or unmotivated, try the two-minute rule and watch your productivity soar.
5. If you have a Roku device/TV, you can hide ads on the home screen by accessing the secret menu.
From the home screen, do the following:
Press the home button 5 times
Press Up, right, down, left, up
This accesses the secret settings, change these settings to hide ads:
Cycle scrollable ads: Always Disabled
Cycle home screen ad banner server: Demo 3
You can also hide other things (I.E. Kevin Hart) on your home screen by going to
Settings>Home Screen>Hide
