100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying | Life and style | The Guardian

Habit state:
✅ - already making it
🚧 - wip
💡 - I'm thinking about it. I am interested in.

If you are a little bit motivated and you find thesee ideas funny. I pick some of them:

  • On the fence about a purchase? Wait 72 hours before you buy it. ✅
  • It might sound obvious, but a pint of water before bed after a big night avoids a clanger of a hanger. ✅
  • Start a Saturday morning with some classical music – it sets the tone for a calm weekend. 💡
  • If possible, take the stairs. ✅
  • Eat meat once a week, max. Ideally less. ✅
  • If you’re going less than a mile, walk or cycle. About half of car journeys are under two miles, yet these create more pollution than longer journeys as the engine isn’t warmed up yet. ✅
  • Connect with nature: stand outside barefoot for a few minutes – even when it’s cold. 💡
  • Send postcards from your holidays. Send them even if you’re not on holiday. 🤣 I will try it 💡
  • Buy a plant. Think you’ll kill it? Buy a fake one. 🚧
  • If you find an item of clothing you love and are certain you will wear for ever, buy three. 💡
  • Text to say thank you. 🚧
  • Buy secondhand. 🚧
  • Always bring something – wine, flowers – to a dinner/birthday party, even if they say not to. ✅
  • Call an old friend out of the blue. 🚧
  • Every so often, search your email for the word “unsubscribe” and then use it on as many as you can. ✅
  • Think about your posture: don’t slouch, and don’t cross your legs. ✅
  • Rent rather than buy a suit/dress for that forthcoming wedding (even if it’s your own). 💡
  • Nap. 💡
  • Politely decline invitations if you don’t want to go. 🚧
  • Buy a bike and use it. Learn how to fix it, too. ✅
  • If in doubt, add cheese: ✅
  • For instant cheer, wear yellow. 🚧
