When Your Shirt Looks Like a Roadmap and Other Modern Dilemmas
What if I told you that most people have no idea how to iron a shirt properly? Or that 68% of us just shove flowers in a vase and pray they look presentable? We live in an age of instant expertise-YouTube tutorials for everything, apps that summon help at the tap of a screen, specialists for every conceivable task. Yet somewhere between outsourcing our oil changes and ordering pre-chopped vegetables, we've lost something vital: the quiet confidence that comes from knowing how to handle life's practical challenges ourselves. The Chicago Tribune's "Life Skills" series taps into this hunger for self-sufficiency, offering a roadmap back to competence in everyday tasks. These aren't just instructions-they're invitations to reclaim a sense of mastery that connects us to generations who navigated the world without constant digital assistance.
