Tried and Trues: Ideas and Products That Have Stood the Test of Time

Many people have a bias toward “new.” We infer "new” to mean improved or at least fresh. Such thinking leads us to give short shrift to the tried and true, proven ideas and products that have survived and thrived through the decades. 

So, I thought, as my PsychologyToday.com article today, it might be helpful to offer a list of tried-and-trues. Maybe you’ll find one or more you’d like to, well, try, perhaps try again. Or better, this list might trigger your own tried and trues—things you’ve tried but perhaps forgotten about or want to try again.
