What is a Life Pro Tip?

A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.

Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.

An aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle.

Examples of aphorisms:

"A barking dog never bites."

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."

"All stones are broken stones."

Very simar to measure twice, cut once. Unless you have a biscuit joiner, that is...

For me, it's like

  • measure twice
  • cut once
  • swear
  • get more material
  • measure thrice
  • creep up on the measurement
  • swear louder
  • get more material
  • cut cut cut
  • cry
  • fish the first cut out
  • make it fit
