Leave a party when people would still like you to stay a while.
Put moisturiser on my cheeks well before bedtime to give it chance to sink in and not just rub off on the pillow.
Cut tubes of any cream to scoop out what won’t squeeze - this is sometimes quite a lot.
Use a lip brush to access that last half inch of lipstick inside the tube. You’ll be amazed how many weeks worth are in there!
Never discuss important issues after 9pm. Save that conversation for tomorrow. It’ll keep.
Use an exfoliating face product when in the shower - it’s much easier than trying to rinse it off over the sink with handfuls of water.
Whenever you need to ring about a service, note the date, time & the name of the person you are speaking to.
Learn your mobile phone number! It’s only 11 digits and so handy to be able to reel it off without faffing about looking it up.
Really listen to new friends. Remember the names of people they chat to you about. Or write them down when you get home for recall next time. It highlights you were interested and bodes well at your next meet up.
If you are a grandparent, respect the wishes and boundaries of the parents. You had your turn. Now it’s theirs.
Do kind things without keeping a tally. It’s its own reward.
Speak more slowly to the elderly. Give them chance to compute what you’re saying.
Value yourself. If you don’t, how can you expect others to? You are just as important as anybody else. Not more so. Just the same.
Put your phone away when enjoying company. Or at least, stop looking at it for a while.
Compliments are nice to give and only take up a minute of your time.
If you ask people ‘how are you?’ be prepared to listen while they tell you. If you haven’t the time or the energy then just say ‘oh how nice to see you again!’.
Have you any tips to share?
We can learn from one another!
