We always hear about people's bad habits but what's your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.

I always put my seatbelt on when I sit in a car. I always text the parking deck row/floor to my wife as we park.

Blocking people online who I find annoying

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

On the weekend I will go for a 8.5mi hike to a abandoned fire tower and eat lunch. Same hike but I always see something different.

Every day, at some point, I think of three things for which I’m grateful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Gratitude journals are amazing. I started maybe twelve years ago now. It's helped me slow down and appreciate little things more often. I remember starting out my journal and looking for big events in my day.

I quickly learned that on bad days, I'd have to stretch to something like "I saw a cloud that looked like a puppy." and that was when I started to look for smaller joys throughout the day. I also stopped depending on other people for joy.

Assuming that I'll forget something and setting a reminder of some type to make sure that I don't forget.

I always put stuff in the same spot so I don't have to look for it or think about where it is. Everything in my wallet has a place, everything in my pockets always goes in the same pockets, my work ID goes in the same place when not in use, my sunglasses have a spot on the counter at home, and on and on. Greatly simplifies things and reduces stress not having to think about where stuff is or might be.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

I have bowls. One near the front door for all the change in my pockets, another for keys and wallet.

Never drinking too much. I have self control when it comes to that, but not food lol.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I never hit snooze. I get up once my alarm goes off.

Probably helps that I sleep like absolute shit and was already tossing and turning anyway lol

Returning the shopping cart

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

I was a carry-out at my local hardware store for a few years in college. I brought carts in from the corrals and helped people load heavy stuff. I've seen and been victim to the damage caused when a rogue cart catches the wind and fucks off down the parking lot. People that leave their cart not in a corral or inside disgust me more than more most lazy people.

You're my hero, dude.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Thank you. I couldn't figure out anything I do right, but this is the thing I always do.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago

I've gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

I make good pastries

Same. After years of neglect, I finally had everything fixed at the same time. After 2 years of dental work and thousands spent out-of-pocket, I now floss and brush religiously.

Learn to cook the veggies right.

Some veggies taste better roasted. Experiment

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Telling my kids I love them, regularly and randomly. My parents only told me they loved me after yelling at me (or worse) and it took a long time for me to understand the toll that's had on my relationships with them.

Out of the 31 meals i eat per week, i usually cook at least 27...most of those from scratch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You’re eating 4-5 meals a day? Bodybuilder?

Sounds like your kids are gonna be alright!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Heh. Yeah I guess I did my math wrong there hahaha. Let's quietly subtract 10 and forget it ever happened...

Write down sudden ideas for memes and other stuff even when trying to fall asleep.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 hours ago (9 children)

If I make a typo, rather than autocorrecting or deleting a few characters I delete the whole word and re-type it from the beginning. That way the correct spelling gets into my muscle memory and I’m much less likely to make the typo again in the future.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

If I make a typo, I try to keep as many of the letters on the page as possible - no need to throw them away and use new ones. Waste not.

Probably writing. I make sure to write a little every day. I feel like it helps me keep a rhythm and allows me to reflect on the things I care about, the things I'm thinking about, and what I've done that day.


That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.

I always find it so weird to hear that there really are people that genuinely dislike vegetables. Or am I misunderstanding this? I love veggies :D

Wearing Monks' cloathes

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

Not looking at my keyboard when typing. I switched to colemak last year, and since then I've managed to get into the habit of typing without looking. Which is very useful now that my keyboard stickers are starting to come off so it shows some letters twice and others not at all πŸ˜…

Following my weightlifting routine (tactical barbell). I'm on a 38 week streak and I don't have the words to describe how much better I feel, and how much it has improved my life over the last few years. If anyone is even remotely interested in getting in shape, it's so worth it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago

I make my bed every day.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I hate how hard I'm having to think about this

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

Your best habit is taking time to fully think things through before acting on it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Youre probably bring too hard on yourself

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I record events of the day, daily. Going on a year now. Just a quick jot of the most eventful thing of the day. Nice to look back and remember things that happened through out the year.

Use an app called "Daily You" in F-droid to help me organize it all, if anyone is interested.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Doing sport, regullary. It keeps me fit, healthy and sane. It gave me some pride in my achievements and more power in the long run. Even if it sometimes stressy to fit time for it in my schedule, it is worth it. It also taught me that I am able to do more than I thought, a very valuable lesson for me.

I haven’t always had this habit, but I brush my teeth twice a day and floss before bed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Exercising regularly! I do it because it gives me a kind of rush, but I realize that it's also making me healthier in the long run (hehe)
