This is a random list of how I go through life. Some are lessons from my mom, some are just common sense and common courtesy, both of which seem to be lost in 2019. I think if we irritated each other a bit less, and were a bit more thoughtful, we could create a society we’d all be proud of, once again. Feel free to add, or share, or disagree! Would love your feedback on https://instagram.com/solohour.

• If you stay at someone’s house, make the bed
• If you stay multiple nights, strip the sheets
• If someone makes you dinner, eat it and be grateful
• If someone opens the door for you, thank them
• Hold the elevator if you see people walking towards it
• Stay to the right side of the escalator so people can get by you
• Better yet, WALK on the escalator. Try a little harder at life.
• Keep your head up, not in your phone, while you’re crossing the street
• When 3 lanes become 2, merge with every other car…don’t speed up so you go “first”
• When you’re making a left turn, get out into the intersection, don’t hold up traffic
• If you get in a minor fender bender, move your car off the road onto the shoulder. Don’t park in the middle of the street if your car moves.
• If you invite someone to lunch or dinner, pick up the tab
• If you invite a friend or a date to a party, introduce them to everyone
• If you host a party, welcome all of your guests, and make sure they have a drink in their hand right away
• If you’re hiking or walking in nature, don’t blast music with your phone. That’s why they invented headphones.
• Buy a random stranger a cup of coffee at Starbucks
• Give your leftovers to homeless people
• If you’re walking on the sidewalk with your date (and you’re a man) put yourself between your date and potential harms way: You walk closer to the street, and put yourself between her and any shady looking characters.
• If you’ve gone on a couple dates with someone, but aren’t interested, tell them like a real man/woman. Don’t just disappear.
• If you dirty dishes at a friends house, clean them
• If you empty the ice tray, fill it
• If you finish the milk, or something in the fridge, replace it
• If a friend “lets you crash” at their house for an extended period of time, keep the house spic & span for them
• Listen to The Solopreneur Hour Podcast
• If you borrow a friends car, fill it with gas
• If you snore, and are sharing a hotel room, bring earplugs for your roommates
• Get off your phone when you’re checking out at the grocery store, or anywhere else. And take the headphones out of your ears. It’s incredibly rude.
• Stop bringing your dog into restaurants and coffee shops. Somehow, we managed to go hundreds of years without this trend. Wrap fido’s leash around a tree or a post out front. They’ll be fine.
• Gentleman, open the door for your date, or your girlfriend, or your wife. Car AND Building.
• Buy random flowers for your love
• Don’t check your phone while on a date
• Don’t bury your head in your phone while you’re out with people
• When parallel parking on a busy street, check your side view mirror for bicyclists and pedestrians before you open the door.
• Use the “yield” and on-ramps as acceleration zones…don’t merge onto a highway at 40 mph
• Get out of the left lane unless you’re passing
• If you’re driving in the mountains and there are a line of cars behind you, pull over and let them pass.
• if you’re at a party and don’t know the host, make a point to seek them out, introduce yourself, and thank them.
