> Everyone showers before bed so that's not exactly novel. I hate to break it to you, but this isn’t accurate.
don't tell them some people: only shower in the morning shower infrequently only shower "when dirty" don't shower don't have showers Might blow their whole worldview.
Every morning for the past 14 months or so I've sat down at my desk with a cup of coffee and spent ~20 minutes writing out a page of thoughts in my Hobonichi Techo journal with my trusty Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. I try to write plainly and honestly about whatever pops into my head, and before I know it, I'm done. It hasn't been super life changing, but I do enjoy doing it. Sometimes during the course of the da…
I always feel a little jealous of religious people when they do these things. I guess us secularised, atomised people should just make our own.
Remember any unexplainable technology in which we blindly trust might as-well be God.

I do this too but on a laptop. It is more beneficial to use paper but I don’t want readers to think it isn’t incredibly important even without the gear. Like how good running shoes are not important to start running.
I was honestly just thinking the same thing. Like...damn, why is OP advertising such expensive gear to people who might want to just try something? You can do exactly the same thing with a mead spiral bound and a ticonderoga pencil... Or text notes on an existing device Or audio notes on an existing device Or for the price OP is advertising, get a whole drawing tablet to plug in Or for the price OP is advertising, ge…
Show and tell daily helpful rituals? Here's mine: I shower before bed and put out my clothes for the next day before bed. When I wake up, I roll out of bed into a predetermined outfit and not have to waste precious pre-coffee clock cycles picking one out.
Bag is packed, clothes are picked and any morning beverages are pre-prepared as much as possible.
My work ritual every morning: 1. Power on laptop (it is powered off every day at 5 PM). 2. Log into VPN. 3. Log into Okta. 4. Log into AWS accounts, one per container (about 7 or 8). 5. Log into Docker Desktop. 6. Log into AWS CLI to get daily credentials. The whole thing takes about 3-4 minutes. A former colleague referred to this as my "mise en place", or my daily arranging of my working environment. Like the artic…
I'm glad it helps you center. But does anyone else think it's crazy how many logons you need to do on a repetitive basis?

My example case is I paid for a year of gym membership up front so I could feel the total I'd spent more tangibly. That got me to go regularly, even if I was just showing up to recovery stretching at first. Now I enjoy going and I look forward to it, and I didn't need a PT to motivate me this time.

Do those stay logged in for extended amounts of time? Most of my "serious" accounts have expiration times of an hour, so I only ever login when required.
