Making dish washing a ritual

I once had a roommate who would wash her dishes to “it’s all coming back to me now” every night. She said it was long enough to get through all the dishes. Getting to put on a good song and zone out on some manual labor to end the day

reset day

sweep, mop, laundry, clean bathroom, groceries, cook dinner, listen to silly little podcasts all day I am very rigid about doing this once a week + it has made my life immeasurably more pleasant

Wash your face, make the bed

It takes two minutes to wash your face, and once you’ve done it, you’ve already accomplished one thing in your day— a splash of cold water, or a more involved routine and a hydrating mask, is a really nice and lower effort way to engage with taking care of your body. Then, make the bed and you’ve done two things.

replacing embarrassment with endearment

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333 this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do. i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

journals as archives

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
