We have a very similar proverb in Russian: " дурная голова ногам покоя не даёт" (stupid head gives legs no rest.) It has 2 meanings: 1) think before you leave so that you don't have to come back to pick up what you forgot 2) if you forgot something, now go get it. And think next time.

21: I fell out of love with reading due to having a hard time focus. My solution? Children’s books. The diary of a wimpy kid is all I needed to remember what it’s like to read again and now I’m working through complex books

I highly recommend picking up some of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett! Truly excellent fiction for any age

[@fredericapanon207]

@tatiana topczewska. I highly recommend the suggestion of Terry Pratchett novels. He is a great satirist with awesome, hilarious footnotes, hilarious and engaging characters (yes, I swoon over Sam Vimes), absorbing and suspenseful plots. The Colour of Magic is the first book, but I personally prefer Guards, Guards! as a great introduction to Discworld, Ankh-Morpork and some important recurring characters. Making Money made me a Pratchett fan; he essentially predicted the shenanigans that precipitated the 2008 banking crisis -- in 2004. Again, great characters with great names (seriously, who names their own son Moist?)

[@Kiki-reads]

@@Bubbles-ug3vr I read Percy when I was in my 20s and experiencing a reading slump. At first I felt guilty for reading “children’s” books, but I ended up enjoying it so much that shame disappeared.

@@HelenaEngstrom I had it explained as 'spoon theory' there's a video about it here on KZbin if you want an in depth explaination. I remember finding it, not what's called or who posted it... it's been years... But basically you start your day with a limited amount of energy, or a number of spoons. You can't do everything, so you have to pick where you put those spoons to. If you keep giving out your spoons to everyone who asks for one, you'll run out and son't have enough to care for yourself and you'll ultimately start letting all the people you care about down when you're too exhausted. It was originally meant to explain those limitations to others, to help them be more understanding of people with disabilities who might have to turn down an invitation for coffee or some other slight. Even a person without a disability has a limited number of spoons. Make sure you're putting them to what's important to you and it's not your fault if people can't understand.

[@bunniebie]

@@HelenaEngstrom remember that if you burn out, you can't say yes to things either. saying no now protects your ability to say yes in the future.

"Make your bed," doesn't have to literally refer to your bed. It could refer to the re-ordering, re-establishing, straightening, or re-organizing of anything, like straightening pictures, shaving, vacuuming, organizing your desk or a shelf. A "bed" can be anything that becomes out of sorts during the day.

[@Jibbie49]

I see it as the "first act" of the day, so when you get up, you make the bed, thus it is neat and finished. Pam Young and Peggy Jones have taught "How to get organized" since 1977 and Peggy said "I told my husband he made a bed in the military that you could "pop" a quarter from, so he could make the bed at home."

[@jackiechurch7500]

I doubt that. Make your bed means make your bed. Start off doing things properly right off the bat.

[@HereIAm247]

The second I get out of bed, I always fold the duvet back, so it neatly covers the end of the mattress only. This way, I let the mattress 'air' for at least an hour (more if I can), to prevent bed bugs and other nasty things. Right before I leave, I make my bed (2 minutes), brush my teeth (2 minutes), put on outerwear, and leave the house. So it gets at least 1 hour of 'air'. It really does make you feel more organised to have a tidy bed, and this feeling of being 'adult' drives you to do other things to make you feel even more organised. So while you technically can use something else, a bed is something easy, but in many people, the impact is greater than all the other things you mention. :)

[@oliviafagin293]

My top tiny habit: Time yourself when working, studying, exercising, cleaning etc. These things can feel daunting and quickly become something to dread, but if I tell myself I'll only work (with no distractions) for one hour, I often amaze myself with how much I was able to accomplish and since I'm already "in the zone" I often finish the task at hand even after the time is up! This has helped me get on the deans list at school, motivate myself when working from home, keep a tidy house, and get fit because I have 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there, and the task feels much less overwhelming when it's only for a short time.

[@flux_inverter4500]

As a chronic procrastinator, the 2 minute rule really has helped me. Fewer things to procrastinate allows time for the important stuff and the fewer tiny tasks sitting around that can distract you. Used to stack mail inside the door and sort through it on Paydays (why look at a bill before you have money to pay it?). With the 2 minute rule, I deal with it right away and toss, shred, or put in the bill pile. When it is payday, going through bills becomes a 2 minute (or 5 minute) tasks and much less likely to be procrastinated.

[@Athreana]

I cut dishwashing, which I hate, to 3 parts and only do one of it at a time. (Fill the small drain with freshly washed dishes, put the less wet dishes to the drying rack, put the dry dishes to their place). Thus is gets much shorter and I feel the satisfaction of a task done much more often thus I am more motivated. I found this chopping method very useful against both procrastination and stress. I think you did the same with the bills:) cute kitty picture btw.:D

Throwing things away and decluttering is great both for quality of life and mental health. Won't deny in need to improve at standing up every hour

[@flux_inverter4500]

I have been doing this the past 3 weeks. Part spring cleaning and part due to a small life event that changed my home routines. Noticed that decluttering and cleaning does have a beneficial mental health aspect. Decluttered home makes for a decluttered mind. Subconsciously you see a mess/stuff and think you should do something about it. By actually doing it, it removes that from your mind and frees it up. Home is less stressful because there are fewer home to-do projects. This could be as simple as going through a closet and putting all the clothes you can no longer wear, or haven't worn in the past year, in a bag and dropping off at goodwill.

If you use the pomodoro technique for working, the five minute breaks are perfect for standing up and walking around a bit!

[@clairet5636]

Here’s a few of my own tiny habits I’m trying to take up, which added together make a difference. 1- Make a list of all the things you’ve procrastinated doing for hours, days, or even weeks, and do one each hour. This mostly applies to household chores. Examples would be picking up something that’s been sitting on the ground out of place for weeks, and looking at every day yet feeling like it’s not even worth it to do; or cleaning your bathroom sink; or putting clothes away that have been thrown around. 2- To easily add a new habit, pair it along with another habit or routine you already have. I can’t remember or make time to exercise each day, so I tried doing squats every time I brushed my teeth. Or make the bed while waiting for the shower to warm up. 3- Put something away the first time. Don’t waste your time by setting it on a table when that’s not where it belongs. This makes a huge difference in keeping things tidy. I’ve also heard this expressed as “Touch everything once.” You only touch it as you’re using it, then put it away before you put it down. 4- Get an electric timer to turn off your internet every night. Forces you to go to bed earlier or at least spend that time more wholesomely.

[@pooja_2023]

This is easier said than done. Being grateful, thinking positive, trying to cheer yourself up is all fine, but it works for two days at the most for many people. It is better to simply stop your daily routine, take a break and do deliberate introspection on what your problems are, were and will be. Be honest in your analysis, but be practical from a third person point of view. What attitudes helped you, what didn't, and what will... Implement simple changes everyday. Don't be over-critical or drastic. And take it easy...

[@amstreater]

Some habits that have become second nature to me and which I think really help me: - Make bed every day first thing - No laptop in bedroom (similar to the organise your home habit - watching movies happens in the living room, not in bed) - Have a place for everything (particularly for things like keys, passports) and always put it back there. I have a couple of things that have a maximum of 2 places it lives, so it’s rare I can’t find anything. - take reusable shopping bags. Not just for environmental purposes but it helps me only buy what I can physically carry home. - carry folded laundry in your arms and put it away right away. Laundry baskets so often end up just storing clean clothes. I carry folded laundry to my bedroom and even if I place it on the bed, I have to put it away by the evening. - flatten cardboard packaging for recycling. Do it right away when you put it in the recycling box. It’ll save space and you won’t have to smush things down. Means you can empty the recycling less frequently (recyclables need to be clean anyway so there shouldn’t be an issue with smell) Wow now that I’m thinking about it there are so many things I do out of habit

This video still resonates so well in 2024! The idea of incorporating small habits like writing down three things you're grateful for and taking just one minute to exercise really proves that it's the small, consistent actions that make a huge difference over time. I’ve been applying a few of these since last year, and it’s amazing how simple habits like these can transform your mindset and productivity.

Play a sports related game at least one a week just for 20-30 minutes, it makes exercise fun and a good way to spend productive time with friends. Even if you’re not athletic just mess around, get a soccer ball, basketball ball, literally just move around with things like that. The little events make a difference and you’ll be surprised how fast a fun game can actually turn into a skill. I’d never played soccer before this past year but in only 4 months after me and my best friend would go to the park every Wednesday, I can now run consistently for 20 minutes and kick a ball further and faster than I’ve even been able to- make it fun, keep with it and you’ll be surprised!!

Finding this now with 2022 coming up fast, I think the reason a lot of people don't do these small habits that can make life and mental health easier is because we over think them and blow them out of proportion... When we think about every microscopic step we have to take, or how difficult it feels to simply stand up sometimes, we are telling ourselves how much harder this is and how tired we think we are and that it's not worth it, when it's much easier than we think and really is worth it. I admit, I do this to myself sometimes. However building awareness of when I am doing it has helped a lot for me.

Get a standing desk to take care of item #8. I have been working from for over a year now and my desk is a standing desk so it has been a game changer in terms of health. Instead of standing every so often as I would with a sitting desk, I crank out a set of push-ups, free squats or dumbbell exercises. Highly recommended.

I started doing 11th a year ago and it helped me so much! I was less stressed and more focused on my work, plus I felt more positive. I check my phone after lunch (fixed time every day and in the evening after work. So people now know that if it is something urgent they should call me, not write (and most of people are lazy to call). Also, deleted all my accounts on social networks (fb, insta, twitter etc) 5 years ago and it felt so liberating! I don't subconsciously and consciously compare my life to other people's (and I couldn't stop doing this before, even though we all know 90% of it is fake). Due to that, now I meet my friends and go for a walk, to a museum, gallery, parks, to ride a bike or workout or play games... and it is so much better. Not to mention that I also feel safer and less paranoid now that I know people don't know where I am and what I do...

This was so helpful! I needed a reminder that bite sized efforts can help a lot. Woke up, made my bed and did a little exercise and already felt better.

[@MrJake-yx8ll]

This is a great list thank you for sharing. May I suggest a couple of re-sequencing recommendations.... The first thing you should do when you wake up is drink water. If you have just slept 8 hours for most people that means you've gone 8 hours straight without rehydrating... start your day immediately with water, your brain needs it to think. Then go make your bed. This puts two accomplishments under your belt in mere minutes. Next is the one minute exercise ( or more) however I like your suggestion to get at least that one minute going for starters. If you perform these within the first 5 to 15 minutes of awakening you've already accomplished three of the 21 and they're very important because they provide residual benefit throughout the rest of the day and set the tone for getting things done. Remember--action creates motivation. Picasso said it best ...."inspiration exists but it has to find you working" Thank you again for a great list'.

Good advice. I already do most of these. Warning about water: drink a cup or two when thirsty. Do NOT take little sips. No need for carrying bottled water all day long. Also, when making your bed, do NOT cover it all the way. Allow it to air out in the morning.

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Why not take sips?

[@AliyaRab]

Dear Sir (I like your name), because our body sends "thirst" signal exactly when needed. At that point water in sufficient quantity is processed most efficiently and excess is discharged quickly for best results. However, if we keep sipping water all day, it actually confuses the body into retaining it (not enough to discharge). That also impacts the brain severely. Over hydration/retention creates imbalance of essential nutrients & minerals needed for optimum nerve functioning and overall wellbeing. That's why people in desert can survive with very little water. Hope this was helpful. Cheers!
