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.

Don’t read the news as much I do.
If you see a problem you can fix, it’s best to fix it right away because very often it can become way worse if you leave it for later, costing more time, effort, and money to fix than if you just took care of it immediately. Everytime that little voice says “you can fix that later” you tell it to stfu.
Similar: the five minute rule. If you’re struggling to get started on a big task, do it for five minutes. Best outcome is that you keep doing the task, and it gets done. But even if you’ve had enough, then at least that’s five minutes’ worth you don’t have to do later.
About the shower, I hang my towel just outside of the shower and get it before I step out. I get myself mostly dry before stepping on to the shower mat.
If you use q-tips to clean your ears, first use a wet one, and then a dry one. Did wonders for me.
Oh my goodness I just tried this. Thank you so much, stranger.
If you use fresh ginger root, you can use a spoon to scrape of the brown skin. Scrape the edge over the skin and it will just peel off.
I didn’t believe how easy this was when at first I tried this.
Keep an eye on your own morale. You’d be amazed how much even a strategically placed snack will do for your future.
“Strategically placed snack” is hilarious, lol.
Snacks can be extremely fateful. You could argue a sandwich played a very important role in starting World War 1. Imagine all of the unsung snacks that put some world leader in a slightly better mood and omnicide was averted.
Smalltalk starter pack:
- (during the day) “So how’s your day going?”
- (in the evening) “So how was your day?”
- (before the weekend) “what you up to on Saturday?”
- (before the week) “what’s your week looking like?”
Easy small repeatable things that open people up. I use it on everyone, and I make sure that I care about the answer because I’m genuinely curuous
If you shower at the gym, you don’t need a whole bath towel to dry yourself. A regular hand towel is sufficient, and it takes up way less room in your gym bag.
Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.
Wow!!
Some of us have a habit of listening to that nasty little voice in our heads that says we’re a failure, that we’re weak, that we have to work harder than anyone else to just be.
Next time you hear it starting to list all the ‘bad/wrong’ stuff you’ve done, tell it to shut up … and keep telling it to shut up every time you realize you’re listening to it. Then think on a good thing you did for a friend or neighbour.
Self-flagellation should never be our bestie.
Ha, ha! I already knew this one!!
There is nuance to nearly everthing that exists. All of life happens with the grey area- perfectly balanced between the black and white boundaries most people refuse to look away from.
Use a whiteboard eraser to clean the dashboard offgas gunk off the inside of your windshield.
I have a wand thing with microfiber pads. Not only does it allow me to reach the the windshield in front of me, I can clean the passenger side as well.
Are you talking about one of the erasers that is like a piece of industrial carpet on the bottom, or the other type that’s foamy rubber (like what the sole of a running shoe is made of)?
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.
Ah, the turkish cigarette trick!
We called it that back in the day, because turkish cigarettes were the absolute worst smoke you could have. But in need, a friend indeed…
Protect your head when doing contact activities,sports, etc. Brain injury and seizures are a terrible thing to live with.
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.”
I’ve been upset about X ever since musk took over.
I don’t like your comment, and I’m sorry if you take that personally.
