I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

Use a whiteboard eraser to clean the dashboard offgas gunk off the inside of your windshield.
Hide an extra roll of toilet paper somewhere in the the bathroom, use for emergencies, tell no one. I smash one flat and put it up behind the false drawer covering the vanity sink.
Always keep stock of water in an extra overhead tank or atleast an extra lid bucket bathrooms for emergency when tap water ran out. Just make sure to change water every two weeks to prevent bug parties in it.
If you don’t have kettle then have a lot of water bottles especially that can store warm drinking water for long time, to never run short of warm drinking water in winter.
Protect your head when doing contact activities,sports, etc. Brain injury and seizures are a terrible thing to live with.
Get mental help, especially if you are a man. It’s ok to cry, and doesn’t make you any less of a person
And I’m going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: “If it’s mentionable, it’s manageable.”
After you’ve tried to deal with something yourself and haven’t succeeded, telling someone about what’s going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.
For the love of God. Get enough sleep. That shit will catch up to you when you’re older.
I used to not get enough sleep. Now I drive every day. Huge incentive to sleep 8 hours a night.
I’m a runner and I can definitely tell that the largest determining factor for my physical performance isn’t diet, days off, etc; it’s sleep. Sleep is SO important.
Edit: The others are still very important, but sleep is paramount.
If you’re not going to soak your dishes, at least splash some water on them and leave them upside down. The food bits won’t harden as much and you won’t have to scrub as hard.
But why upside down. Just leave them filled with water in sink.
Reduce air exposure and conserve water, especially with bowls and containers that are deeper than a dish.
If you’re ever randomly angry or sad for reasons that are out of your control and not the fault of anyone around you, make a small announcement. Something as simple as “I’m upset about X, sorry if it seems like I’m being short or snappy with anyone.”
Identifying and vocalizing your feelings is superpower. Good step toward living in a sincere manner. Obviously there are limits (Kant look away), but it makes life much easier when you aren’t worried about being cool and cagey.
I don’t like your comment, and I’m sorry if you take that personally.
If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.
My older sister gave my dad a dead bird she found when she was little. It ranks among the highest I’ve ever heard anyone shriek.
Do what you think is right, but actually take some time to determine if it’s actually right or just feels right
Don’t wait for someone else to challenge your beliefs do it yourself first, use the Socratic method if you need a starting point
Rewarding or ignoring bad behavior is the same as encouraging bad behavior
Leave places/systems in the same or better state than you encounter them
Don’t play rigged games
Keep a bowl by the door for keys and loose change
Awesome, just don’t keep the keys in open. Any easily accessible closed container or cabinet drawer would be sufficient.
get a super absorbant chamois towel and once over with that, then use your super soft towel
One’s sleeping position can influence their lifespan and sleep enjoyment. Sleep on your left side.
Isn’t it super normal to move and turn while sleeping? Is sleeping on the left side so much better that doing it for the first hour only has a noticeable impact? Or do you also need a weighted blanked to keep you in place for it to have that effect?
Sounds like pseudoscience to me.
Evidence? 🧐
I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.
Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that’s just me.
My heartbeat is very uncomfortable when sleeping on my left. Apparently it’s a common problem. Sleeping on my right solves this for me.
Wait, what? My cat only spoons with me when I lay on my left side, so of course I prefer laying on my left side now. Does he know something I don’t??
I actually spent a long time forcing myself to sleep on my back because I was a chronic stomach sleeper and was having back pains. Now it’s the only position I can sleep in, lol.
Anytime you leave a room, take something with you that doesn’t belong (empty can, trash, dirty dish). It’s easy to do and once this a habit, big cleanings are not so big.
I’ll take your advice one step further: after you’ve hand-squiggied yourself, do a quick towel dry in the shower. Dry your feet as you step out and you won’t get any water on the floor
Then what’s even the point of feeling yourself up? But you’re right about the floor! I have a textured faux wood floor in my bathroom and I don’t even own a
Batmanbathmat. (Sadly, I also don’t own a batman. ☹️) It’s never slippery after I shower.I was about to type the same. I dry in the shower and dry each feet before slipping them into my sandal when I step out.
I genuinely assumed this was how everyone did it.
Tbh I didn’t always, but one day teenage me was drying off over the floor, feet sliding around, using a second towel to soak the puddle I made, when I had the thought “Why don’t they put a drain in the bathroom floor?” Then I turned and looked at the shower that I just got out of and realized that I’m a fucking moron
Do super soft yoga in the morning.
When i tell people i do yoga every day before work, they think its MUCH HARDER than it is. I get up, drink a whole glass of water, and sit on my mat. If its cold, i use a space heater. I put on an easy yoga video on YouTube (i love Yoga with Adrienne) and i only do the floor parts lol.
I am in such better shape, i have more energy, I’ve lost weight, my posture & balance are better, and i can self-regulate my emotions a thousand times easier. I am so, so much happier with this simple lil 20mins starting my day.
Nice, mine a little different.
I brush then meditate with water bottle then fresh up. Then I either hit track or open gym after proper warmups.
Interesting. Well I’ve got the water part down at least
I sometimes sit on the floor.
It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.
Sounds really good, will have to give this a try
