one skill: be a great listener
If you are plunging a sink, make sure you either use duct tape to cover over the overflow hole, or you plug it with a wet rag.
In the case of a double sink, make sure the other side is plugged.
Otherwise all you're doing is pushing air back and forth through this overflow/2nd drain, and you're not actually forcing the clog out.
Don't put bananas on top of you other fruit. Bananas give off a lot of ethylene gas during their ripening process which quickens the ripening process of other fruits. So seperating your bananas helps to keep your fruit fresh for longer.
If you don't absolutely need to drive somewhere, don't.
Maybe it's because I don't drive, but I never understood why people need to get into their vehicles to go to a store that's only a block away. I just think more is attained out of strolling to do small errands as a pedestrian, which is good for your body/mind/social life, than to get there by vehicle which just contributes more to the commotion on the road and in the atmosphere.
Have wet wipes on hand.
Get a good toilet plunger and know how to use it correctly. Most plungers kinda suck.
Always keep a handkerchief on you
When you need to melt cold butter in a pan, don't break out the knife or try to chip off a shard, just put it face down on the pan and let the appropriate amount melt.
This requires that you keep a small ring of the foil on the base (for convenience and clean hands) but it's easy to do that once you get into the habit.
Letterkenny taught me that girls who tuck their phone into their bras cannot be knocked down, but girls who take their shoes off on the dance floor will try.
