We got in touch with the author of the post, who is actually quite new to Reddit, and they agreed to chat with us about it.
"[I got the idea to ask this question when] I was ... reflecting on how life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but there are always those little things you pick up that can make it easier, like tricks that save you time or stress," Lowertier4848 told Bored Panda.
"As a new Reddit user, I thought it would be fun to see what kinds of 'cheat codes' others have discovered. The question came to me when I realized how powerful some of these simple insights can be, and I wanted to see what the broader Reddit community thought."

Lowertier4848 also said that as their post went viral, they recognized a few common topics.
"I've noticed a lot of answers centered around communication," the Redditor noted. "Another recurring theme is self-discipline, with people mentioning how small habits and consistent efforts can lead to big changes over time."
"It's interesting to see how many of these 'cheat codes' are things that we might overlook in daily life but can have a huge impact when applied."

It makes sense that a lot of the answers center around emotional intelligence. Research by psychologist Dr. Travis Bradberry revealed that only 36 percent of people can be considered good at self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and social skills.
According to Bradberry, those who are, among other things, have more curiosity, embrace change, can accurately judge character, are difficult to offend, and appreciate what they have. Surely they know more "cheat codes" than the average folk.

"I think a big part of [people struggling with applying these seemingly simple real-life 'cheat codes'] is that, even though these principles seem obvious once you realize them, they're not always easy to spot," Lowertier4848 told us.
"Life moves fast, and people might not have the time to reflect and see these solutions. Plus, some 'cheat codes' take practice or a mindset shift to implement, and that's not always easy to do consistently. It's easy to overlook simple solutions when we're caught up in the complexity of our daily lives."

Shower, then go outside for a walk, get some air. It does wonders.

People tend to remember those who made them feel good, whether it’s a compliment, a simple “How’s your day?” or just listening when they’re having a rough one. It opens doors, creates opportunities, and builds connections in ways that are more powerful than people think.
Also, being kind doesn’t just help others; it makes *you* feel better too. It’s like a cheat code for leveling up in life, and it’s free!
This suggests that older people are 'better' at life—they've had more time to collect the 'cheat codes' to it, including arguably the most valuable one, acceptance of the inevitable. One study found that people in their 40s and 50s expressed a greater fear of death than those in their 60s and 70s. A later meta-analysis of 49 papers confirmed this and said that fear of death grows in the first half of life, but by the time we hit the 61-to-87 age group, it recedes to a stable, manageable level.

"We definitely learn some of these cheat codes through personal experience," Lowertier4848 said. "But I also think mindset and attitude are very crucial. Some people are quicker to adjust their mindset and spot opportunities for improvement, while others may need more time or a change in perspective to see these 'cheat codes.' It's about learning, but also being open to new ways of thinking."

No matter how much money or time or emotion others have put into it.
You're gonna need this tip at least a few times in your life to avoid major f**k-ups.

Not only is this something you should just do. But these small acts of kindness come back in spades. All of the people at these places talk to each other and they all know who the a******s are and who the nice people are.
The next time you need something extra or have to make a call for a plumbing repair, etc. there is a good chance you are first on the list , or they will give you break. Possibly jump your car in the parking lot if your battery is dead. If you do it consistently and genuinely it will help you out someday.
