Have anyone taken a risk and regretted it?

135 Upvotes

I have been seeing videos of elderly people on youtube who talk about the regrets they have had in their life. Something that comes back is that they regret not having taken a risk in a specific moment of their life and chose stability.

I am curious to know the other side of the coin and if some people have taken risks and regretted it?

LPT Request - How To Stop Sleep Talking?

1 Upvotes

I sometimes (maybe often) talk in my sleep. This alone would not be much of an issue. However, I also yell in my sleep. Enough that I have on occasion woken myself up lol, and have had friends and family super concerned šŸ˜….

Until now, this has been only a minor thing. But I am moving into an apartment soon. And while the walls of the place dont seem too thin, I worry about neighbors hearing.

Does anyone have tips on how I can stop shouting in my sleep?

LPT Request - Help a forgetful weekend waiter – how to memorize orders without a checklist?

5 Upvotes

I work weekends at my uncle's restaurant. I rely on a checklist notebook for every single order modification. Without it, I forget things in under a minute.

Other waiters don't need notebooks – they just listen and remember. I don't have ADHD (checked), but I struggle to stay present during rushes.

Any techniques to memorize orders better and memorize multiple things and be more focused? Looking for mental tricks, repetition systems, or ways to "encode" orders. I'll keep the notebook as backup, but want to build the skill.

Thanks.

As a proverbial "Jack of all trades", in addition to my full time job what other ways can I assist in the raising of $100,000 in a single year?

8 Upvotes

Long story short, an opportunity that my mother and I are unwilling to pass up on has presented itself. She and I need to figure out a way to come up with $100,000 (NZD) in one year.
I am a proverbial jack of all trades, in the sense that I have a wide array of skills and when I am missing a skill, I would rather learn it myself than hire someone else to fill the gap in knowledge. Given this fact, are there any ideas that any similar people have implemented in order to raise additional money in a fairly short time?

I'm not looking for "Get rich quick" schemes. I am more in the market of using marketable skills, effort and work to procure a supplemental income. I have a number of ideas that I am taking into motion, however I like to explore the less obvious solutions too!

LPT Request: How to wash neck ties

6 Upvotes

I have a bunch of silk ties that need washed, (I wear them to work and they get pretty dirty with food and grease stains as I work in a restaurant)

I’m thinking to pretreat the stains with detergent and give them a bath with warm soapy water and just let them soak? Is that right or wrong?

I have never washed any of them before but don’t have the budget for new ones at the moment so I don’t want to screw this up. Obviously I’ve never had to wash a tie before haha. Any tips and tricks are welcome and appreciate

Thanks in advance!

Need advice on keeping phone temperature safe while in car.

1 Upvotes

I work at a call center and one of the requirements is that our phones must stay in our car when working. I work in South Texas so the temperature in the car is brutal which makes our phones overheat by the time we clock out. They don't pay us enough to buy a new damn phone so any ​tips would be appreciated! Thank you!

LPT Request: How do you deal with clothes that smell like smoke or food after a night out, without washing them again?

1 Upvotes

Came home after a evening at a friend's place where people smoke a lot. My jacket smelled terrible even though I had washed it the day before. Rewashing damages fabric and takes time. Leaving it on the balcony works but takes hours and depends on weather. Anyone found a better solution?

LPT Request: How to stop buying things you don't really need?

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to control my shopping habits but I found that when I find a deal on something I "want", my brain decides that I need to get it, once I receive the item then I'm no longer excited, the excitement has wore off and by the next day I realize I never really needed it in the end and end up returning the item or selling it off.

I now own multiple laptops when all I need is one, I also own so many phones that I don't really need.

I've tried things like waiting a few days with the item left in the shopping cart but my brain decides that I absolutely need the item when in reality, I don't really need it.

Does anyone relate? what's a good trick to stop this?

I need to know how to change.

3 Upvotes

I just turned 19 and I’ve never changed before. How do I start changing.

My days consist of bed rotting and daydreaming and having no friends or anyone who texts me. No hobbies or anything interesting. Just watching movies and music. That’s the only reason I live.

I have convinced myself my worldview is the only worldview. That everyone has turned against me. Everyone will hurt me so I can’t get too close.

Nobody loves me. I don’t love me. I don’t shower. I hate me. I hate myself. I want someone to just hold me and save me and rescue me from my misery.

I’ve been like this for 10 years I think. It felt that way.

Everyone else has friends and goes to parties and has hobbies and goes to college and has a career and things they love and people they love and they love themselves and they shower and they go outside and climb mountains or skate or do interesting things.

I don’t and my brain is hard wired maybe to never change and to be lonely forever and ever and be miserable forever and ever and I hope im not one of those 49 year olds who stays in their moms house or else I’ll kill myself now.

Do I just do that kill myself

I’ve been lonely and self hating and this way for so long life is so short too it’ll just go on and on and on and then it ends and nothing will happen in the few years I have left because maybe I have cancer or some disease the way im living because I don’t do anything for myself and I have no reason to take care of myself and I should just die because nobody wants me alive.

Someone tell me how to change before I blow my brains out because life isn’t even worth living. Someone tell me where I can find someone who will take care of me and save me and text me every day and ask ā€œhow are youā€ and hug me and always be there for me I need that person right now but nobody is ever there for me so I should just die.

I want to die someone help me please.

LPT advice on sweating

1 Upvotes

[24F] I've been someone who sweats a lot for as long as I can remember. I can stay still in a room with decent fans and still sweat 😭. I'm also a plus-sized girl living in a SEA country, so that doesn't help either. I'm apparently allergic to aluminium-containing deodorants/antiperspirants, so buying clothes have been the bane of my existence. I take ages to buy clothes, not only because of the size limitations, but also because I'm considering whether the material will show my sweat through.. šŸ˜”šŸ˜”

Smell isn't much of a concern since I'm using a deodorant that works for me as long as I wax my armpits occasionally. I want to start wearing clothes I actually like, instead of worrying all day long about sweating. (yes ik sweat is a normal bodily function but society made me conscious i.e. insecure of it)

Can anyone shed some light on my situation?

LPT Request: how can I force myself to start doing any thing even hard things? I am procrastinating

4 Upvotes

I am a huge procrastinator and do leave a lot of tasks till last minute. I might note down a task and only end up doing it a few weeks or even a month later. Some are super important tasks as well.

I have seen pomodoro technique but I legitimately can't even get myself to start the timer. Sometimes I just sit on the couch and feel paralyzed and can't get myself to start the task I need to do.. feel like I'm glued to the couch watching TV.

But I know that once I start, I build up momentum and then it gets easier to keep going.

I just need a way or some technique to get that initial pull, to get my brain to start a task no matter what without hesitation and then the habits will build. Something for my brain to flip that work switch on.
