Years ago I got one of those iRig guitar input jacks for my iPhone. Having a wealth of tones and a basic DAW available to me for the first time really did a lot to help me expand my playing ability.

  • boox note3. it's extremely basic, and i mostly use it to hold recipes, but it makes a great e-reader as well!
  • wireless earbuds. make working out so much less boring!
  • shoe stretchers and shoe stretcher spray. saved me from having to return 2 pairs of expensive boots.

I used to struggle a lot to sleep and having total darkness helps a lot, so I recommend giving it a try.
