When I get fast food, I don’t eat the fries until I get home.
When I feel bad emotionally, I clean. I do the nastiest, most unpleasant jobs; since I’m gonna be miserable no matter what, I might as well get some use out of it.
That’s kinda genius.
Stealing this
I think I might try this. It sounds useful in so many ways.
I also recently discovered this and it is so nice and genius
There’s definitely something to this. I tend to get a lot of chores done before my weekly floor disassociation time.

I’m extremely consistent with my weightlifting program (1.5 years aww yeah!)
Starting to lift with the best decision I ever made and the best habit I’ve ever formed. Nagging aches and pains are basically a thing of the past. I’m way more useful, and my lower body, which was once withered and useless after a decade of working in an office, have been replaced with tree trunks and a dump-truck ass
A couple of the accessory benefits of this that in order to support my lifting progress I now eat way better, quit drinking and prioritize proper sleep. Overall it’s just been a huge increase in quality of life
I’m paranoid about losing my wallet and other daily carry stuff, so I haven’t. Been carrying stuff for like 30 years. Never lost a wallet, cell phone,pocket knife, or keys. Couple close calls.
I clean up when I’m done. Never leave dishes in the sink and such. I’m not a cleaning freak or anything, it’s just that I prefer not having to deal with these kind of obstacles before I can begin doing something else in that area.
Dishes especially are one of those things that doesn’t take any quicker to do in large batches. It’s faster and easier to just do them after eating before things get dried on.
Even dish-cleaning-youtube experts don’t use their dishwashers anymore.
I mostly get naked in private
I weigh 175lbs naked, but you really can’t trust those grocery store scales.
I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.
Flossing! I floss frequently. I floss more than I brush my teeth (yuck) but it works. Logic behind the lack of brushing is that in the morning I’m drinking coffee and running out the door. At night, sometimes I fall asleep before I brush. But I have floss on my desk at work and in my coffee table at home (as well as obviously in the bathroom with my toothbrush). My dentist can’t even tell I miss brushing at times. But can definitely tell I floss regularly.
You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.
Daily reminder on al devices to think of three things for which I’m grateful every day. I’ll do today’s list now:
-
Despite the terrible heatwave in California, I now live in a place with AC for the first time in two decades (uncommon in the Bay Area)
-
My current work is so chill that I can be on Lemmy most of the day between calls
-
My partner genuinely loves our (my) kitties and takes great care of them with me
-
Im not sure if it counts as a habit, but i never eat fast food
If that doesnt count: i always wash my hands before touching food

Dragging myself out of my house to deal with this maddening existence called life, despite every fiber of my being telling me to stay home and avoid all you annoying flesh-bags that just do everything you can to irritate me.
That and I read daily.
I quit coffee earlier this year and traded coffee for water. I now drink about 2 gallons of water a day and my teeth have never looked better
I don’t know if it counts as a habit, because I don’t have a schedule or anything, but I ride my bike an average of 150km per week.
First thing I do once I’ve checked into the workplace is to itemize what I’d like to get done today. And I list a bunch but they’re priorities and not requirements. So I have 8 on the list knowing I’ll only do 3 and then 5 will carry.
And I forgive myself if something comes up and it hoses my achievements. And I refer to it often as I get unfocused fast.
Keeps me on track.

What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?
Perfectionism, I always strive to make whatever I create or do as close to perfect as possible!
