secrets of adulthood

I am loving this book!  While reading The Happiness Project, I discovered author Gretchen Rubin's hilarious "Secrets of Adulthood" -- and I had to share!  
Do you have any secrets of adulthood to share?!

SECRETS OF ADULTHOOD

People don't notice your mistakes as much as you think.
It's okay to ask for help.
Most decisions don't require extensive research.
Do good, feel good.
It's important to be nice to everyone.
Bring a sweater.
By doing a little bit each day, you can get a lot accomplished.
Soap and water remove most stains.
Turning the computer on and off a few times often fixes a glitch.
If you can't find something, clean up.
You can choose what you do; you can't choose what you like to do.
Happiness doesn't always make you feel happy.
What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.
You don't have to be good at everything.
If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough.
Over-the-counter medicines are very effective.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
What's fun for other people may not be fun for you - and vice versa.
People actually prefer that you buy wedding gifts off their registry.
You can't profoundly change your children's natures by 
nagging them or signing them up for classes.
No deposit, no return.

  1. These are great!

    I'm adding a secret that isn't so secret.

    More sleep = more happy

    Sleep is drastically underrated in the world of adulthood.
