“Forget Your Bad Friends”: 50 Examples Of Adult Advice People Wish They’d Heard Earlier Don’t let stuff pile up. Bills, stuff on your to do list, cleaning, low tire, engine light on, etc. It sounds basic but getting stuff done as soon as it comes up (as soon as possible) lowers stress and makes life way easier. Stuff doesn’t just go away, and getting it done quickly removes piles of stuff later.

Lol, having ADHD means stuff can and WILL pile up for me, so I get what I can done, and do my best not to feel guilty about what I don't get done. My bills get paid, my cat and I get fed (cat won't let me forget though, lol) the very important stuff gets done, and everything else is a hit or miss. Life is too short to worry about some clutter here and there.

I have a tendency to just keep putting things off until they pile up and I get overwhelmed and have a complete meltdown. So now my policy is: even if I've got six months to get this thing out of the way, I'm not going to wait. I'm going to get it done immediately. This actually led to me becoming very efficient and good at prioritising; at work people would be surprised and pleased when I'd be given a task and immediately knuckle down and get it finished ASAP. (I also have a freakishly long attention span).

I always think if a task takes 1 minute then just do it as it's thought of. That has evolved to 5 min. and now 1/2 hour... It's really not that long and you get to feel like you got sh!t done. There is still an odd satisfaction procrastinating though.

I tell myself "tomorrow me will thank me if I do this now." And the next day when I see a chore done, like clean dishes, an empty laundry basket, or a mowed lawn, I do indeed thank yesterday me. I've learned that it takes more time and energy to procrastinate than it does just to do the d*MN chore.

Great advice. But it's not always possible as life has other plans. Don't sweat the small stuff and pick your battles might be more fitting here. But do put time aside to get your car sorted! If it breaks down you can't get to work and you don't get paid which means you can afford to get it fixed in the first place.

“Forget Your Bad Friends”: 50 Examples Of Adult Advice People Wish They’d Heard Earlier A piece of adult advice I wish I'd known sooner is that it's okay to say "no" without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is crucial for maintaining your mental and emotional well-being, and it's not selfish to prioritize your needs. Learning that you don't have to explain or justify your reasons for declining something can be incredibly freeing and helps you focus on what truly matters to you.

This is such a valuable outlook on life when taken seriously. I grew up in a harsh environment where "disrespect" was confronted regularly with extreme aggression which led to serious consequences like death and/or jail time.. which ruins lives on both sides of the situation. Then I had an epiphany, that led me to this exact conclusion. If you don't like me for whatever reason, that's completely YOUR business and really shouldn't affect anything I do personally. I'm already in my 40's, still surviving, still existing and I never knew you felt that way and it never affected my life at all, so now that you made your feelings known, what changed about my life just now when learning this new information??

“Forget Your Bad Friends”: 50 Examples Of Adult Advice People Wish They’d Heard Earlier Everyone's faking it. Yes, even that super-confident, capable person you know from work/school/your friendship circle. So don't feel scared if you are too.

The more you do the things you're scared of the more naturally they'll eventually come to you. That's how anyone and everyone builds competence in anything. So don't make excuses for yourself. Just get on with it.

Be OK with being bad at things. Everyone's bad at the start. The real measure of competence is how willing you are to stick things out and slowly improve over time. Obviously, this requires a measure of common sense - if you really hate something, don't force the issue. But the likelihood is you're going to suck at your new hobby, profession, sport, exercise, musical instrument, language, or whatever endeavor you're hoping to pursue. And that's more than just 'OK', it's natural.

NEVER put anything on top of your car when you're trying to unlock/open the door. You'll forget it until you hear the sound of it tumbling down the back of your car once you hit a decent speed. Could be just a cup of coffee, or a collection of music CDs

My brother (a loving, dedicated father) put his son in his car seat on the roof of his car and got distracted by his other son, then almost drove away. This was 30 years ago, so I don't remember what stopped him. The thought of what could have happened and having made such a terrible mistake pained him the rest of his life.

Listen to what Martin Luther King said and judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Evil and good will eventually show themselves to you in their actions and words. Pay attention. Do your research and find the absolute truth about people. And be ready to change your opinion or belief based on your own research.

This kind of "advice" is too generic and vague to be useful. Might as well just tell people to "be happy and successful". Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

My contribution: Never trust that a BP article will be titled accurately. "Advice People Wish They'd Heard Earlier" ... Brush your teeth! Save some money! Dont procrastinate! Who hasnt been hearing these things since they were a child?

So many of these I've heard since teenagehood. Still, you will have to learn some of these lessons by experience. No matter how many times people will warn you not to do something, it won't click until you do it and learn why you shouldn't have.

Always listen to your gut. There's a reason a "nice" person still makes you uncomfortable. Don't let other's opinions affect your instincts. We people don't see/treat everyone with the same way. Our gut feeling is much smarter that us and capable picking up vibes that our brain misses. Logic can be wrong. Gut feeling never.

Even if you know someone for years and spend many hours with them, you really know them when you live together. It doesn't matter if they are your friends or partners, you know them better when you see them at their worst than when they are always in a good mood. Also people change... Not always to the best...

Avoid debt as much as possible. Cars and houses are notable exceptions. Pay any small debt as quickly as you can. Being financially solvent makes many other things in life easier. Might add that having credit available can be a literal or virtual lifesaver. I got a credit card early, managed it carefully, and when I was fairly newly married I had the engine fail on our vehicle a couple days away from home. I had the credit to pay for the repairs and get home. Without it I'm not sure what I would have done. A longer delay trying to work something out likely would have cost both of us our jobs. Yes, it sucks paying the interest on it, but unless you are in a financial position where you can just drop a month's pay to fix something you need that credit.

If you are going to use the same tissue to clean your eyeglasses and blow your nose, you should clean your glasses first.
