Computer related:

  • Don’t be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs…
  • Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
  • Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.

Buying stuff:

  • There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
  • Bulk buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
  • Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

Do stuff for other people and explain until they are like 20% there. Then let them do it themselves and gradually reduce your help.

Thats how my dad did it with a lot of stuff, and I learned so much. Saves you from “mansplaining”, from doing free work, from being unempowering.

This makes people feel motivated and you can share your learning experience too, and maybe learn from theirs
