What's A Little "Secret" Tip That Someone In Your Family Taught You That Everyone Else Should Know Too

Okay, so the other day I saw this tweet, and I was floored:

I sew like, once a year (if that), but I still felt my life shifting under me once I gained this helpful information. It's a very tiny tip to greatly improve your life in a small way. But the small things add up, you knowwwww!

Obviously now I NEED MORE TIPS, not just sewing related. So tell me: what's something simple but useful that you learned from someone in your family? Share it with us so that we can also benefit from your grandma's (or aunt's or parent's or second cousin's) wisdom.
