Rule 1: Don't Panic! - A time traveler's best friend is a good lawyer. In the 19th century, time travelers were often caught in temporal paradoxes due to their inability to comprehend the intricacies of 19th century law. Don't be that guy. Familiarize yourself with the legalities of your destination era before you jump in.
A good lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of time travel, saving you from the pitfalls of temporal trouble. But remember, even with a lawyer, time travel is a wild ride.
