I swear by Blackwing pencils.
Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.
Respect is given
Disrespect is earned

It took me too long to adopt this mindset with my own family.
“Respect is earned” - dickhead who expects to be respected by everyone else by default
I think that most of the people that say “respect is earned” just think of what respect means. Respect can either mean treating someone as your equal or treating someone as your superior.
I kind of think of it as politeness and humanity are given first, and then respect (or disrespect) is then earned.
Similar idea, but like you said it depends how you define respect.
I think being polite is one way to show respect to other people, but there are many others.
I agreed, it could be considered that. You can also be polite to people that you don’t respect. It’s semantics or personal context at some point.
