Make it a habit to look for the pull tag or the notch in the envelope. A little extra effort and attention make life easier in the long run.
Although this idea is so simple, I have to admit, it's one of my favorites. I had a really bad habit of ripping things open, which was both difficult to do and then made it hard to reseal a package properly. Now I make myself take a moment to examine the design, to see how something is intended to be opened. I've saved myself a lot of irritation. This is such an obvious solution but somehow it eluded me until very recently!
