Cocofloss

A very smart ex-boyfriend of mine once told me that when you want to start incorporating something new into your life that feels like a burden, start by doing it in the most fancy, expensive way so that it doesn’t feel like a punishment. At that time, it meant buying only Whole Foods groceries for myself so that I’d make myself stay home and cook. Now I’ll cook whatever’s on sale or laying around. I used this for exercising too, starting at boutique classes and then graduating to free Youtube workouts. I hate flossing but I applied this mentality to trying to force myself to do it, and these flosses come in obnoxious DTC packaging and in shishi flavors like Cara Cara Orange and Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Making the flossing process a financial burden and a little bit more dynamic has improved my dental hygiene significantly.

Flossing

I cannot 100% recommend this in good conscience bc once you start you may become addicted like me and then start analyzing types of floss, always late bc you’re flossing, fixated on it when it’s not available to u, etc

Flossing

Who would have guessed that the best way to get me to floss was to take away my dental insurance ? It has finally after 20+ years of having teeth become part of my routine and it should be part of yours as well !!!!

Virtues

Honor and Duty gotta be my two favorite virtues. Its a huge vibe when people treat others honorably. Duty slaps too 🫡 I feel fulfilled when my behavior or decision making is overcome by a sense of duty towards someone or for something.

Sign Out

Remember when “keep me logged in” became a thing? That's when all this started. Big way to limit doom scrolling on anything is simply signing out after each session.

Books

Shogun: Super long epic novel about a captain who shipwrecks on the shores of 17th century Japan. I see it as a guide to becoming a successful foreigner in Japan. There’s this guy Toranaga in the book, he just like me fr. You and Your Profile: this book analyzes 3 modes of identity formation: Sincerity, Authenticity, and Profilicity. Profilicty is a mode that is entangled with being online. Remembrance of Earth’s Past is an epic Chinese sci-fi trilogy. It’s so good. I wanna be a wallfacer so bad. The Diamond Age gotta be the most slept on piece of American science fiction. Snow Crash by the same author bangs too. I’m currently reading Beserk.
