Join hosts and tip curators Arielle Nissenblatt and Ned Donovan on their daily adventures to bring small, possibly insignificant tips and advice into the world. Topics range from tech, to podcasts, to cooking, to sports, to commuting, and anything and everything in between! No tip is too small, all are helpful to someone (we hope), it just might not be you that day.Episodes drop Monday-Friday and are all approximately two minutes or less. So add this to your daily rotation, and you might just find a tip that may help you! Or it may not. It&#39;s all in the title! Self-improvement is tough, but we’ll make it easier by giving you quick, concrete things you can do to better your everyday. Or…you don’t have to do anything at all. And we love that for you.We’re also open to your suggestions for tips to talk about on the show. Get in touch with us on any of the social platforms at @DailyTipsPod with some ideas.

Supporting a friend’s hobby does not require loving the hobby, it requires curiosity and follow-through. Ask how the new hobby is going, learn just enough to ask better questions, and let someone nerd out without rushing them to the point. This works for anything from maps and niche events to whatever your friend cannot stop thinking about.This episode first aired on March 11, 2025. Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Rest days can make workdays feel clearer by showing what a real “on day” feels like. The move is to plan a work week with recovery days, then stack lighter tasks on the days when focus is low and energy is taxed. It is the same logic as gym recovery, rest helps the brain calibrate productivity and realistic daily workload.This episode first aired on September 2, 2025.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

A cluttered iPhone home screen can raise stress every time someone unlocks their phone, especially when every app icon lives on multiple swipe pages. Ned suggests using widgets for the few things used all day, then relying on swipe-down search or the App Library for everything else. The side benefit is spotting apps that have not been opened in months, which makes it easier to delete what is not needed.This episode first aired on December 22, 2023Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Being offline on purpose helps prevent burnout when work texts and pings feel nonstop. Try a simple phone boundary like Do Not Disturb during chores, dishes, or folding laundry so the brain gets real quiet time. A second layer is removing the red text badge count so messages do not create a constant dopamine pull.This episode first aired on July 9, 2024.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Work-life balance starts with saying no, especially when every new freelance gig feels like it could be the last one. Arielle talks about a scarcity mindset that makes “yes” automatic, and how practicing a clean “no” makes life less stressful. This one is for anyone overcommitted, burnt out, and stuck people-pleasing.This episode first aired on December 10, 2024.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Freezing jalapeños makes it easy to add quick heat to weeknight cooking without the seeding and chopping.

Cemetery walks are a quiet, shaded alternative when a regular park walk feels too exposed or crowded. Mount Auburn Cemetery in Boston has real walking paths, benches, and enough interesting names and epitaphs to turn the stroll into a low-key scavenger hunt. It is a solid option for an outdoor activity that still feels calm, even on a hot day. This episode first aired on July 14 2025.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Starting a running habit is easier when the first goal is almost too small to fail. Arielle uses the Just Run app to set tiny run targets on a schedule, which builds consistency for beginner running without relying on motivation.

Scrambled eggs come out creamier and richer with one small change before whisking. Add a tiny dab of mayonnaise to the eggs, then cook as usual for fluffier results in the pan. This is for anyone chasing softer texture, richer flavor, and better breakfast eggs without changing the whole recipe.This episode first aired on August 6, 2024.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Press passes are a smart way to get into pricey conferences, festivals, and events without buying a full ticket. If a newsletter, podcast, or social platform can legitimately cover the event, ask if press passes are available. The pass also creates a built-in networking job, talk to attendees, take notes, and report back afterward.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala. Find us everywhere at https://dailytipspodcast.com.

Sticky TV remotes get nasty fast, especially when gunk gets into the buttons and crevices. A silicone remote cover keeps the mess on the outside, so the remote is easier to wipe down and less gross to hold. It also makes it possible to add an AirTag-style tracker if the remote is always disappearing between couch cushions.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.

Kagi is a paid search engine that drops sponsored results and the pay-to-rank game, so the results feel like early-2000s Google again. It also has an Orion browser for Mac and iPhone that pairs with the search, but the core sell is paying money instead of paying with your personal data.Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.
