344. Make Your Passwords Unbreakable

Do you or your loved ones still jot down passwords on scraps of paper?

Here's a clever compromise that adds an extra layer of security while keeping your peace of mind.

When creating or updating a password, choose a secret word or number series—like "duck" (you can pick anything that’s memorable for you).

Add this secret word to the end of every password you write down, but NEVER write the word itself on paper.

So, if your password is "NotRe@lPassw0rd" it becomes "NotRe@lPassw0rdDuck" when you actually use it.

Even if someone gets their hands on your password list or if your password manager is compromised, they won’t have the full password without knowing your secret word.

345. Nervous? Try This Simple Wrist Trick

Feeling anxious or nervous?

Here’s a quick and effective technique to help calm your nerves in just seconds.

Simply measure three fingers' length from the top of your wrist.

Once you've found the spot, apply gentle pressure with your thumb.

This pressure point is known to instantly relieve anxiety, making it perfect for situations like job interviews, speeches, or any time you need a quick dose of calm.

346. Songs To Do CPR To

When timing CPR compressions, consistency is key.

To help maintain the perfect rhythm, the New York Presbyterian Hospital has created a Spotify playlist titled “Songs to Do CPR To.”

This playlist is curated with tracks that have the ideal beat per minute (BPM) for performing CPR effectively.

NOTE: This is designed to give you an understanding of CPR pace, NOT to be used when someone is in need of medical assistance.
