Computer related:
- Don’t be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs…
- Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
- Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.
Buying stuff:
- There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
- Bulk buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
- Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.
“Don’t do today what you can put off until tomorrow.”
I know it sounds like procrastination, but it helps in particular with high stress jobs where things just keep piling on and priorities keep changing. Don’t burn yourself out trying to get everything done today.
“Everyone has to start somewhere.” and “You’re one step ahead of the people who decide to stay on the couch.”
This helps with just getting started, like if you are a beginner at the gym and intimidated by those fit people who look like they know what they’re doing, or just going solo to a dance class for the first time. Or going on a hike and needing to take a lot of breaks. You’re one step better than where you were before you went. At least now you have a starting point and you can only improve.
Also helps when it’s cold and/or miserable outside because you know there will be a lot of people who decided to not go out, and you end up with a gym to yourself!
