And wear sunscreen! *90s music starts playing*
Never stop dating your partner. Time will pass you'll get complacent and fall into a routine. It happens and that's fine but Be aware of it and break the cycle, buy them a random gift, take them somewhere nice where you both get dressed up, leave them little notes around the house, do something they've been asking you to do but you keep forgetting or putting off. A relationship is work, so put the work in.
read first sentence like "never break up". lol
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Also, good enough is good enough. And if it's not, well then, it wasn't good enough then, was it?
Any time you make any amount of money, put 5% of it into a savings account. If you don't have a savings account, make one. If you can't make one, put the money somewhere safe in your house.
5% doesn't sound like a lot, and for broke/poor people it can often mean the difference between eating that day or not, but if you're able to do it, really seriously do it. I recently calculated where I'd be right now if I had done that, and I would have saved over $20,000 in the last 15 years if I had listened to my own stupid advice.
Also, wear moisturizing sunscreen every single day.
You can always take more edibles. You can't take less.
Without the second sentence, this sounds like you're trying to encourage people to take more edibles than they think they can handle.
Do not trust spez
Or any ceo, really. Their only goal is to make short term money.
Proper dental hygiene is something that one should make a habit from a young age. By the time one realizes its value, like I did, it might already be too late.
Ditto with sleep hygiene. Those two are habits that I think should be learned and reinforced from a young age.
On the same vein, don't underestimate the value of a good mattress. I once had one that could turn an hour of sleep into 8. It was magical.
I only wish I can actually go ahead and buy one; good pillows as well.
But then again, I'm just in a really shitty financial situation. Maybe when things turn around for me, I can invest on those.
Treat your body good. Eat well and get some kind of exercise into your daily routine. Even Walking 20-30 minutes a day is enough to keep you healthy enough.
When you get into your mid 30's things get harder.
BLOCK PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Don't argue with people who are obviously trolling, obviously acting in bad faith, or obviously don't believe the shit they say. Their plan is to get you upset and make you slip up, or keep spouting BS as you give them an air of reasonability.
Block them. Make it a habit. "Oh obvious troll" -> blocked. This is the best thing you can do to clean up your social media experience.
Anything worth doing is still worth doing half assed.
You know, Iβve been putting off cleaning my office for over a week now. I guess I can half ass clean it.
You donβt need 10k comments and 10k upvotes for content to be good and engaging.
Take care of your teeth, stay hydrated, stay active, and don't drink too much alcohol.
And wear sunscreen.
Drink some water everyday.
While itβs good to stay hydrated, sometimes you just want to give your kidneys a break, especially if you exclusively drink soda.
Be warry of advice given by strangers.
If you use Jerboa, give Liftoff a try! Very snappy lemmy client.
How do you install it on android? I poked around github on my phone for a while and gave up.
If you go to this page (accessible from "Get on GitHub" in the main page) https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/releases/tag/v0.9.12 there's releases about halfway down, download the one that corresponds to your phone's processor :)
Choose one of those links. If it doesn't work, try another. If it's not the correct one, it won't install/load. (I'm not the most tech savvy, but the trial and error method seemed to work for me.)
The other replies tell you the simplest method, however if you decide you like Liftoff and want automatic update support, I would recommend Obtainium. To add the app to Obtainium: Go to the Github Releases page for the app and put the url into "add app" in Obtainium.
There's an app called jerboa on the play store that I used to use, now I've side loaded an app called Lemmynade
Worrying just means you suffer twice.
If you have the power to change something, do it. If you don't, your worrying is not helping the situation.
Capsule wardrobe. And whenever you buy a new item, discard an old item.
Stop caring about the intentions of other people. Focus instead on the effect that they have on your life.
In special: get away ASAP from people who are eager to point fingers at the others, with little to no reason, and even when proved wrong will still double it down. Don't allow them in your social circles. Your future self will thank you.
Measure twice, cut once.
Never fart when outside of your home without thinking twice and really controlling your rectum. It might be worse than you thought it would be.
Cook the chicken before you eat it.
