    Help your tomorrow self. Put water in the coffee pot or prepare it so you just have to hit start, lay out your outfit, etc. the night before. Mornings are hard and the more you’ve prepared the small things, the easier it is.

    If you have a problem with wasps, this is the perfect time of year to make a fake nest. Crumble up a brown paper bag into a round shape and put in your window or on your balcony. Wasps are stupid as hell but they are territorial and will think it’s another wasp’s nest. And they will tell their friends to avoid the area.

    If you mess up, just admit you messed up. If you forgot to do something at work just say “yes that was my fault, I’m sorry, I messed up.” People are much more likely to forgive you if you own your shit.

    If you can’t open a jar or container, run the lid under hot water for 30 seconds. Then open it after it has dried enough for you to get a good grip on it. This has never failed to work for me.

    Give a crying kid water. Most of the time they start crying for a reason but continue crying because they can’t snap out of it. Drinking the water forces them to take a breath and the sensation of the water gets them to think about something else briefly enough to settle them.

    Also in this vein, offer a 15-minute countdown (*to kids) and remind them at 15, 10, 5,4,3,2,1 and when it’s time to leave. I had a friend that did this for cookouts and his kids were really cool about leaving even when they were playing with the other kids.
