LPT: After every job interview, write down the questions you were asked while they’re still fresh in your mind.

As soon as an interview ends, spend a few minutes writing down the questions you were asked, the answers you gave, and anything you wish you had explained better.

This solves two problems: it helps you prepare more effectively for future interviews, and it gives you concrete examples to practice instead of relying on memory.

Over time, you’ll build a personalized list of common questions and stronger answers, which makes each interview easier than the last.

LPT: When you find clothes that fit you perfectly, save the brand, size, and item name immediately.

Clothing sizes are wildly inconsistent. A medium in one brand can fit like a small in another, and even the same brand can change its sizing over time.

So when you finally find jeans that fit exactly right or a shirt that looks great without any adjustments, don’t trust yourself to remember it later. Save the brand, size, and item name in your notes app or take a photo of the tag.

Future you will be incredibly grateful when you need to replace it and can skip the frustrating cycle of ordering three different sizes just to find the same fit again.

LPT: When making a decision or solving a problem, force yourself to write 3 bad solutions first, it makes the good idea come faster and easier

LPT: When you’re stuck trying to create something (like an idea, plan, message, design, or solution), intentionally write down 3 “bad” or even silly answers first before trying to come up with a good one.

This works because it removes pressure to be correct immediately and forces your brain to stop overthinking. Once you’ve written obvious or flawed options, it becomes easier to see patterns and generate a stronger answer afterward.

Why do weekends feel like they go by way faster as you get older?

I’ve noticed that when I was younger, weekends felt long and full of time. I could relax, go out, do hobbies, and still feel like there was plenty of time left.

Now that I’m older, it feels like Friday evening to Sunday night disappears in what feels like seconds. I don’t even feel like I did that much, but somehow the weekend is already over.

Is this just because of having more responsibilities, or is there actually a psychological reason why time feels faster as we get older?

WIBTA I accidentally got dragged into a couples argument in a parking lot

I was just trying to get back to my car with my iced coffee when I walked past this couple clearly in the middle of a fight. As I was passing, "the guy suddenly looked at me and goes, be honest, is liking your ex's vacation photos weird?" I just stood there for a second like hey I'm holidng a coffee, why am I involved in this. Before I could even answer, his girlfriend goes, see? even she thinks it's weird. I don't know why but I ended up saylng, if you're asking random people in a parking lot, you probably know the answer.

There was this awkward silence and then she pointed at me and said thank you. 🤣
The guy just shook his head got in the car, and mutteres something like unbelievable. I got in my car feeling like I had somehow been selected for relantionship jury duty lol 🤣.
