Don’t think I necessarily believe things or don’t believe them based on one assertion by someone. I am able to hold it in my mind with a certain confidence level attached. Of course that doesn’t really answer your question, only kicks it to “how do you form that confidence level?”
For me it’s reminders. I use slack for work, and whenever anything comes up that I need to take care of (personal or work related) I’ll tell slack “/remind me about <thing> tomorrow/next week”.
I’ve been doing this for years. I have it on my phone and computer so it’s easy to view and add new reminders whenever I need. I didn’t think slack is crucial to use but I find it to be the most convenient, even more so then dedicated reminder apps
I have a dream that one day I be part of a platform where one will not be judged by the glamor of their username but by the quality of their discourse.
Keeping an insulated water bottle around to drink from. How do people go to sleep knowing they either have to get up to take a drink or settle for some lukewarm side table water from a glass or plastic bottle??? Not to mention the waste I see with people using disposable water bottles (which have the time and place of course, but at home ain’t it.)
To add: drink water throughout the day in general. Especially where tap water is safe to drink. You’re going to pass up the opportunity to improve your health and daily wellbeing, easily and for free? WHY?
Random side note. I actually prefer room temperature water. Sensitive teeth. And i try to keep my backpack as light, so it’s a one layer water bottle for me.
I use a half gallon insulated metal water bottle/jug and it’s incredible. I love it so much, and I couldn’t go back to even a normal sized one. I drink easily a half gallon a day now. I’m about to upgrade to a 1 gallon, because the lid on my half gallon is difficult to open, and the 1 gallon has a much better lid. I know it seems ridiculous, but it made a carry bag for it with a strap to wear almost like a messenger bag. I can carry all my shit and get hydrated at the same time. So fantastic.
Also, buzio is the brand on Amazon (I know. God, I know, but we don’t have a lot of options where I live. If anyone knows a better one, I’d love to hear it). They’re great. Everyone in my family has one in different sizes
I still have a laptop with Windows on it. Dual boot works for me. I only need Windows once in a blue moon, don't want it using up any of my attention or the computer's resources the rest of the time.
Immigrants are often effectively scabs. They work for less, take more abuse, that sort of thing. And It’s a lot harder to form a union when half the workers don’t even speak the same language.
If you’re going to bed with music or sound, make sure it’s at a barely audible level or shuts off after you fall asleep. Otherwise your brain gets used to tuning out the noise and will tune out your alarm
