Reading books on daily basis. It's a qualitatively different experience from reading websites or consuming other form of media. If you have trouble getting into reading, I recommend picking a particular time and place, then reading at least a few pages every day. Eventually, it will turn into a habit and you'll be reading for longer periods. Another thing I recommend is finding books on topics you're interested in, be it fiction or non fiction, and don't feel bad about abandoning books if you find you're not enjoying it.

Set a timer for when you're sitting at a desk and working. Every hour, I get up and do something or go get some water. It helps

Make a list of all the tasks you want to do for the day, every day. This is so important for me if I don't do this I just never get anything done.

Also always plan to do something productive every day even if you just feel like relaxing. You will feel so much better relaxing if you know you've done something your proud of.

Floss daily. Brush your teeth twice daily.

Use a tongue scraper.

I spent all of 2024 tracking my spending and saving. I didn’t “budget”, just had a spreadsheet and wrote everything down week over week.

I would recommend it as a habit people may benefit from just to understand where their money goes.

Just go for a walk. Calling it exercise scares people into thinking about running, cycling or the gym but for the last month or two i just make it my mission to go for a long-ish walk once a day. Nothing strenuous, some days I walk a couple of kilometres to the nearest big supermarket to pick up some stuff, or i'll get something delivered to a post locker thing or I'll just go for a nice walk around the nearby park and bring my neglected camera with me to take pics of some birdies.

You would be surprised how many calories it adds up to and how much better your well-being can get from some sunlight and fresh air.

Checking up on your friends and asking how they are. It never hurts to be there for your friends when they're having a bad day! ❤️

Just use a password manager, FFS it makes all of your online interactions safer.

Once setup, it is easier than not using one.

Waking up at the same time every day, no matter if it's a weekend or a weekday and no matter if you stayed up too late and won't be getting full 8 hours of sleep.

As obvious as this might sound, this has really helped me to regulate my sleep schedule, something I've really been struggling with for pretty much my entire life.

Never start nicotine

Learn stuff, don't eat processed foods and get exercise - gardening and foraging are good places to start for most people. Stay far away from negative, manipulative and lying people.

Learning how to say no, how to do it politely and how to do it firmly. I'm better at the latter but being able to do either is a goddamn superpower, it's incredible how many Americans cannot regardless of their situation, title, age, wealth, etc.

Absolutely lifting weights has been my all time favorite self improvement thing, would highly recommend it

If I could offer you only one tip for the future....

sunscreen...

would be..

it.

The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists.

So many people don't care about how their behaviors affect others. They are loud on the public transport, interrupt others when they talk, act like they are better because they got good looks, and a bunch of other things.

I really think people would get along better if all of us were more down to earth and listening and relaxing.

Be the opposite of what you see in reality shows.
