Pro Tip: I have been wearing leather shoes since I was a junior in high school. With leather shoes comes leather shoelaces. Leather shoelaces do not like to stay tied. I have two tips for you.
1) Get them wet, let them get pliable, then tie your shoe. The wetness makes them more pliable, and when they dry, they harden into the shape that you want.
2) Tie the “Better Bow Knot”. This is kind of like a double knot, but way better. In my shoe tying technique, I make one loop, then wrap the other string around it. In the BBK, you wrap the other string around twice. Since adopting this method, I have had to retie my shoes an average of once every two months. Here is a site that outlines this knot.
Pro Tip: If you have a commute that’s more than 20 minutes, start listening to books on tape. Yeah, music is great, but this is time you will never have again. In the morning, feel free to listen to Russ Park.
Pro Tip: Another great one from Lifehacker. Cut a potato in half and rub it on your window. Let it air dry. Boom, fog proof windows. I don’t know how this is going to smell btw.
Pro Tip: If you are walking somewhere and you think of something you know you are going to forget, then cross your fingers and do not uncross them until you have written what you have to do down.
If you have one of those brain farts, and you have forgotten what you were on your way to do, put yourself physically where you had the idea in the first place. I would say this works 3/4 of the time.
Pro Tip: If you are 50/50 on what team to choose, choose the one with the red jersey. Teams with red jerseys win more. Duh.
Pro Tip: To get ride of a sticker, blast it with your hair dryer in 45 second intervals. It should just peel off.

Pro Tip: Eat a banana every day. I eat 2. They have more pectin than an apple, they are a good source of Vitamin C, and they have potassium, which is good for your heart. My BM’s have never been the same (in a good way) since I started eating bananas daily.
Pro Tip: Always carry a disposable camera in your glove box. Here are things you can do with it:
-If you get in a crash, you can record the evidence
-If someone is being an asshole driver, take a picture of their license plate
-You never now what hilarious stuff you will see while driving around
Pro Tip: To keep your brown sugar from congealing, store a piece of bread or marshmallow with it.
