1) What is the meaning of life?
TBD - let me know when you figure it out.
2) How do I become successful?
Success is measured internally but hard work and budgeting are usually good starting points.
2A) When should I arrive at the wedding?
We are planning to start the ceremony at 4:00, so please arrive by 3:40.
3) How do I manage stress?
Deep breathing exercises and compartmentalizing your day both seem to be popular solutions.
4) What are the healthiest foods?
I am literally the worst person to ask this question. Fruit, probably.
4A) What will the weather be like?
Given that it's Florida in the spring, the answer is: it depends. Likely, hopefully, pleasant and relatively warm, but it's worth it to bring some clothes for cooler or inclement weather just in case.
5) How do I protect my online privacy?
Don't give your personal information to strangers and don't click on suspicious links.
5A) Is there anything else planned for the weekend?
Nothing formal as of yet, we may all meet for drinks at the local brewery on Friday.
6) How do I back up my data?
External hard drive or the cloud - but everyone charges for cloud hosting on a subscription basis, which is devious and evil.
7) How do I improve my communication skills?
Listen more, talk less. I am not good at this.
7A) What food and drink will be provided, and will there be accommodations for dietary restrictions?
Everyone will be provided with a single saltine cracker to enjoy during the ceremony, and a quarter of a reduced-fat Kraft Single to cap the evening - a cash bar will be available but only serving warm six-year-old Natural Ice that we found in the back of someone's pantry.
Nah just kidding - after the ceremony there will be cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, followed by dinner.
8) How do I make new friends?
Stare at people until they talk to you or become uncomfortable and leave.
8A) But what about dietary restrictions?
You can submit specifics about dietary restrictions through the RSVP section, and we will do our best to accommodate.

10) How do I pay off debt?
One dollar at a time.
11) What are the best ways to network professionally?
Conferences and car races. One is more fun than the other.
12) How do I improve my work-life balance?
Same with stress - compartmentalize and set boundaries.
13) What is the best way to write?
In the immortal words of papa Hemingway, "Write drunk, edit sober."

Just go for it - practice, and things will improve with time. People don't know you made a mistake unless you tell them.
15) How do I build self-confidence?
Speak in public more frequently.
16) How do I set achievable goals?
Probably not by asking ChatGPT.

Google Flights or Kayak usually work well.

Wherever there's a cheap flight to, as long as it isn't a war zone or something.

With a microphone and an idea.
20) How do I improve my cooking skills?
Practice.
