Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you? (lemmy.world)

For me it was "buy high quality pillow" because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was ... ok. Like it's a fine pillow but my sleeping haven't improved really, it's basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

I use calendar events and put reminders depending on how important the task is. Like if it's my mum's birthday I put a reminder two weeks before (so I get her a gift) the day before and then the same day in the morning but if it's something like remembering to call a company or something I just put one reminder at 3 pm on the day of the event.

You can then snooze the event for as long as you want until you have time to take care of it (at least on Samsung's Android)
