writing down funny shit your friends say or do

I feel like a lot of the time me and my friends never remember what someone said, just how hard it made us laugh. So if it’s REALLY funny, I’ll quote them in my notes. So whenever someone says, “do you remember when ____ said/did this” I’ll search their name and find it, instead of us blanking for 10 minutes. Pros: It makes me feel like a friendship historian. it’s definitely improved my memory/recall ability. and it also feels good to remind them that I care about the things that they say.

Making notes about your friends

I have a really bad memory unless I’ve known someone for YEARS. So for any new friends or new people in my life I really care about, I’ll write down anything that grabs my attention How they take their coffee, favorite band, allergies, etc.

KEEPING A HARD COPY RECORD OF RUNNING JOKES/BITS

I'm not that into documenting life through photographs - how I really like to do it is through the jokes/bits my friends and I come up with. Keeping a paper record on my fridge of the many characters and jokes we've developed over the year means that hilarious bits that would usually be forgotten now get to be woven into new jokes. As a real comedy nerd, this brings nothing but joy into my life.

coping by getting active locally

I’m sick of feeling powerless so my new coping strategy is to not let a stupid system bully me into quiet despair. I’m learning how to use my state’s General Assembly’s online bill tracker and I’m subscribing to email updates for the agendas and the public hearings of the legislative committees I’m most concerned about. I’m memorizing all my legislators‘ names and emailing and calling regularly. Also: Check to see if your state’s Legislative Library has Libguides that explain in layman’s terms what bills are passing in your state and other educational/legislative resources you have freely available to you!!!

manually budgeting

I’m up in my bank account every week writing every transaction out in a spreadsheet and I’ve never been better with money in my whole life. Also helped me notice asap when a whole mess of fraudulent transactions slipped in while I was occupied moving and otherwise wouldn’t have seen them for a while. It’s absolutely more effective than a Mint budget tracker because you have to confront EVERY purchase and contemplate what actually has value to you.
