Please list your life hacks.

[reddragdiva]

I would like you to list your life hack du jour. The one you're quite pleased with at this moment.

All sizes welcome — small ones ("I've taken you off my DreamWidth reading list, thus saving a small amount of time") to large ones ("I have discovered a potentially quite useful procedure called the scientific method"). I don't care if it's strictly temporary or a programme to change your life.

Mine: Intarweb in batches. Switch off GMail instead of living in it. Second day, going well, not missing anything that was worth catching. This is giving me time to ask "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?" and have a mid-life crisis in a reasonably productive manner, between entertaining a toddler.

Please do spread this message, gathering a few would be of great interest.

yes, ciphergoth, this was inspired by you

My improvements this year have all been heath & energy related -- finally determined that low libido was due to SSRI, and that for me, 200mg of ginkgo leaf fixes that; that I am indeed mildly hypothyroid, and that taking thyroid replacement helps cut down on the constant sleepy-sandy-eye feeling I was dealing with; confirming the therapist's suspicion that I have been dealing with adrenal fatigue, and treating that. Once these things become routine, ADD management is next on the list.

So I guess these aren't life hacks, but they are important foundation-laying to get the life hacks to help. :)

I think they most assuredly count as the sort of thing I was thinking of. Closer to the "I have started using the scientific method" end than the "I have bought a mechanical pencil" end.

I also knocked about the biggest "body-hack" off my to-do list by getting my tubes tied this month. :D
