STRETCHING
You can't stretch cold muscles. It's best to do a short warm-up before stretching, or there are no gains.

BUYING CLOTHES THAT YOU WILL LIKE
When shopping for clothes, if you very quickly scan the wall from a distance, any items that stand out are probably items that you would enjoy wearing without second-guessing yourself. If nothing catches your eye during this quick scan, move on without buying anything.

EVALUATING AN UNSOLICITED NOVEL
To know if you want to read and consider an unsolicited novel you need to read three pages. One random page from the first third. One from the middle third. One from the final third. If all three interest you, go back to the first page and start reading. If the book doesn't grab you in the first 30 pages it never will.

MAKING A LEFT
When waiting for traffic to allow you to make a left turn, keep your front wheels straight. Don't turn them in anticipation of the turn. If hit from behind you will nose into oncoming traffic.

IN MOVIES, EVERY HUNCH IS CORRECT
