什麼是Life Pro Tips?舉凡能改善生活的訣竅,給予任何人或為周遭事物帶來重大且好的影響,就能稱得上LPT。版上文章開頭必定會縮寫「
LPT:」,再開始道出是什麼樣的生活法則。
Posts must enhance life in a specific,tangible way
貼文必須以特定、可行的方式來提升人們的生活。
版規裡面也限制了某些領域的Tips不能Po出,比如:
- 醫療(Medical)、法律(Legal)、財務(Financial)上:因為難以確認發文者資格,所以不知道這樣的Tips是否合適。比方一個人不是醫生卻教你怎麼動手術?
- 衛生(Hygiene)、儀容(Grooming):包含廁所相關與妝髮類。
- 非世俗(Non-secular)、政治(Political)
- 育兒(Parenting)
- 感情(Relationship)
- 其他:開車、睡覺、笑話
至於一般常識與禮節(Common sense & courtesies)、產品服務(避免工商)、
引戰內容(troll)、不法行為,也是禁止的!還有,和超經典的LPT(
https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/wiki/commonlpts)很像的內容也不能重複Po!
以上這些就是不會在版上出現的內容,可能有些也有更適合的板可以放,也因此LPT上的文章分類主要常見的幾個,就在下面的小標題可以看到!(如果涉及成人、不適合闔家觀賞的內容要標上
NSFW,這也是Youtube頻道
上班不要看,
Not Safe For Work的本質。)
閱讀這些內容的同時,也是給自己一些警醒、供應生活上的動力,或避免落入某些陷阱。精選

Pro Tips,一起讓生活變得更好,讓自己更完美吧~
1. 生產力 Productivity
LPT: If you’ve got some free time and you’re planning on spending it watching tv/playing video games, etc. make yourself go on a short walk or do some brief exercise beforehand. You’ll probably end up going longer than you planned and you’ll feel better about relaxing after. from r/LifeProTips
有空閒的時候,想做些娛樂之前,不妨先移動腳步,出外走走或簡短運動。妳可能會比預期的多花點時間在運動,但在娛樂時將會感到更身心舒暢。這方法還挺好的,有運動到,不至於讓人覺得很頹,不然有時候可能玩一玩又不想動了,就會比較沒有罪惡感(?)
LPT: If you find yourself procrastinating in starting a new task, tell yourself you just taking some practical steps now to "prepare" to do it later. You might end up getting half the job done or more just in the process of "preparing." from r/LifeProTips
當你發現自己正在拖延一項新工作,這時告訴自己現在能先做一些事,為了「去準備」晚點可以著手進行。結果你可能會發現已經做了一半或以上,就在這個「準備中」的階段。
Yun也常常運用這樣的心態,就覺得「阿~先做一點好了」然後查查資料,整理一番,就會開始要求自己做到一個完整的段落,讓事情有個小小收尾再收工。這時再回頭看就發現不自覺做了很大部分的事了。文章下方有人提到:
There's a subreddit called r/NonZeroDay where the philosophy is this: it doesn't matter how much you do, just do something. Even if it's one push up, one sentence of creative writing, one sock picked up off the floor... if you do that, then you've had a non zero day. You're allowed to do the bare minimum. Just don't have a zero day. But if you do, that's cool. Don't beat yourself up. If you just do the bare minimum, chances are you'll keep going and do more but if you don't, doesn't matter...you had a non zero day.
NonZeroDay(非零日)板的哲學是:
無論妳做了多少,至少做點什麼。就算只是一個伏地挺身、一句有創意的寫作、一隻從地板撿起的襪子... 做了,這天就不白費(不為零)。非常微小的事也能被容許,只要不要什麼都不做就好,你也可能因為這一點點而越做越多。
2. 社交力 Social
LPT: If your friend owns a business, don't ask for a friend discount or for some free products, a great friend is one that pays full price to support their friend from r/LifeProTips
如果你朋友擁有一家企業,不要向對方要求友情價優惠或拗免費產品。真正的好友會全額支付以表示他們的全力支持。
LPT: If you want to offer a deep and memorable compliment, ask someone how they did something. It gives them the opportunity to tell their story, and shows your genuine interest. from r/LifeProTips
如果你想給予他人一個難忘的讚賞,可以問問他們何以達到某個成就。這會給他們述說故事的機會,同時展現你真心的好奇。最棒的學習方式,就是尋求專家,得到最寶貴的經驗跟正確的知識,加速你的學習曲線。
LPT: When you're taking someone's photo, count to three, then keep counting until they laugh at you. from r/LifeProTips
當你在幫忙拍照時,數到三以後,繼續數,直到他們對你大笑。也可以故意不停數三,或是一拍完馬上再拍一張,會比較自然。
LPT: Getting angry with people for making mistakes doesn't teach them not to make mistakes, it just teaches them to hide them. from r/LifeProTips
對那些犯錯的人生氣,並無法教會他們怎麼不犯錯,只會讓他們更想隱藏自己的錯。顯現在有些小孩身上,犯了錯卻說:「沒有」不敢承認,因為知道會招致打罵而害怕。然而有些時候,即便小孩不是犯什麼大錯,大人也大罵一頓,只會讓小孩懼怕各種嘗試,因此這時應該細心去教他們什麼是對的,這樣做為什麼不好,畢竟他們也還沒活過一遭,不要太苛刻。
LPT: When hosting a dinner party for people you're not familiar with, leave a simple task until they have arrived, like mixing salad ingredients, or slicing bread. Invariably your guests will ask if they can help, and you can point them to these tasks as a useful icebreaker. from r/LifeProTips
主辦晚餐趴時,把一些簡單的工作留給不太熟的人,比如攪拌沙拉或切麵包。妳的客人會問有沒有什麼要幫忙的,這時候就可以請他們幹這些活,讓他們有事做就比較不會尷尬,是很有效的破冰方式!
3. 3C操作 Electronics
LPT: iOS has an option to turn off apps asking to rate them from r/LifeProTips
蘋果手機有一招可以關掉App自動跳出的要求評分視窗。(設定 > 帳戶 > iTunes & App Store > 關閉下方的In-App Ratings & Reviews)如果覺得評分要求很惱人不想看到的話,就可以照這個步驟找到並關閉囉~雖然關了以後,有些App因為程式寫法的關係,可能還是會跳出來。(Yun也是看了這篇馬上就去關了,感覺頗實用。)
4. 職場工作 Careers & Work
LPT: An argument is when you are trying to determine WHO is right, a conversation is when you are trying to determine WHAT is right. from r/LifeProTips
「爭執」發生在決定「誰」是對的;「對談」發生在決定「什麼」是對的。良好的溝通建立在互相理解,交換彼此的智慧,聽聽看別人怎麼想,不光只顧自己說,一起進步。
LPT: If you are composing an important message, do not enter the recipient until you have finished composing it so that you do not accidentally send an incomplete message. from r/LifeProTips
如果你正在撰寫重要郵件,千萬不要先打好收件人,完成後再打,這樣才不會不小心傳出不完整的訊息。Gmail有個功能可以延遲傳出時間,如果不小心沒打好,這樣就可以有機會拯救,在真的傳出前取消傳送。
 |
| 在取消傳送處,調整取消傳送期限,最多30秒內 |
LPT: If you are nervous walking into a new place with a group of people, make sure you are the first to the building. You can hold the door for everyone else making yourself look kind, yet you will be the last one in and can follow everyone elses lead. from r/LifeProTips
若妳對於和一群人一起走進一個新環境感到不安,請確保妳是第一個走進該處的。如此一來,妳可以為其他人開著門,令人對妳感到和善,且妳會成為隊伍最後一位,可以跟著其他人的帶領進去。在看到這篇以前,Yun在參加參訪活動、團體活動時,也會第一個走,主動去幫忙拉住門,也確實會讓人產生好感,主動搭話。有一個有趣的留言說:
All future reddit meet-ups will be a scramble for the door
未來的Reddit鄉民聚,大家可能會搶著開門。
0. 其他雜類 Miscellaneous
LPT: If you're caught staring at someone, keep on staring. Don't look away when they look back because they'd know you were looking. Instead, keep on staring and after a bit blink twice and do something. It'll make it seem like you were just zoned out in their general direction. from r/LifeProTips
如果你被抓到正在盯著某人看,那就繼續盯著她。當她看你時不要轉移視線,不然她就會知道你剛剛都在看她,反而要繼續看,過了一會再眨兩眼、找事做,這樣才會看起來像你剛剛在放空,只是剛好往他們的方向看。嗯... 好吧,這也算Pro Tips,可能某些人想偷看誰兩眼時會特別好用?反倒我是有時候放空完,回歸聚焦的時候才發現對方在看我,特別尷尬(汗
*zone out 放空發呆
LPT: “e.g.” and “i.e.” are not interchangeable. e.g. means “for example,” while i.e. means “in other words.” from r/LifeProTips
e.g. 和 i.e. 是不能替換的!e.g. 意思是For example,(舉例來說);而 i.e. 意思是in other words, (換句話說)。常常會看到誤用的情況,讓人產生疑惑或混亂,這次就馬上記住吧!
e.g. = exempli gratia;
i.e. = id est。我自己是去記i.e.的est在拉丁文代表「是」,id est等同於that is「也就是」,連結的是畫上等號的概念。而e.g.的exempli就是example了,後方的內容是更詳細的描述實際狀況,講得更清楚。網友們也提供很方便的記法:
- imagine e.g. stands for "example given" and i.e. stands for "in essence".
- think of e.g. as being the phonetical beginning of the word 'example' (i.e. "egzample")
LPT: When you get a new notebook, leave the first page blank. When you finish using the notebook, you can number the pages and use the first page as a table of contents. from r/LifeProTips
拿到新筆記本時,先讓第一頁空著。整本用完的時候,就可以標頁碼,然後利用第一頁當目錄。很實用的一招,突然覺得以前都先安排好目錄,好像太笨了?Table of contents通常會縮寫為toc,像在R語言要把分析結果弄成好看的文件輸出時,Markdown可以幫助生成toc。
[LPT] If you suffer from anxiety or an uncomfortable feeling of butterflies in your stomach, simply wash your face with cool water. An effect called the "diving reflex" will instantly lower your heart-rate substantially, helping you calm down. from r/LifeProTips
如果你正因焦慮或緊張所苦,那麼去用冷水洗洗臉吧!「潛水反射」效應會很快地大幅減緩心率,幫助你靜下來。從日常的體驗,覺得低溫、水這兩個要件的確是可以幫助我們靜下來的利器,大熱天實在讓人感到心浮氣躁。「
Diving Reflex」是許多潛水員認為哺乳類在水中的本能,也有實驗佐證,維持約一分鐘的閉氣狀態,會減緩心跳。想想會不會也跟深呼吸有異曲同工之妙,之前醫師告訴Yun降低焦慮的方法也是放慢呼吸,拉長吐氣的時間。留言也有人提到應該需要
Submerge(浸沒)整張臉到水下,達到憋氣才有較好的效果。
LPT: If you want to giveaway some stuff for free don't list them under "Free", instead put some good price on them. When a decent person shows up, offer the products for free. You'll get lots of thanks. You'll also get rid of "choosing beggars" and those who swap free stuff for money. from r/LifeProTips
如果想要把一些東西免費送人,不要把它們擺在「Free」標籤之下,反而要擺個好價錢給它們。當優質的人出現選了它們,再免費給出。你會獲得很多感謝,還能防範那些亂挑的乞丐或是想將免費物品變賣的人。Choosing Beggar代表那種亂挑的乞丐,不管標的物是什麼,先殺到超低價,再看東西是什麼,決定要不要買或取得。這種人通常會隨便開價,隨便一個藉口來博得賣家同情。之前在辦展覽時,實實在在地看過很多大媽在各種攤位各種拿免費發的東西,覺得不錯的東西就算拿過了又會再回頭拿,可能不只一次。更甚者,抽獎抽到的獎品如果不是自己喜歡的,還會直接拗,說想換大獎...
希望這些Life Pro Tips能對閱讀的人都有幫助,記在心上~
