The original Aqua notes notepad is quite pricey, but off-brand transparent post-it are also water-resistant and quite affordable. You don't want to be precious about every single sheet.
Write down that you _need_ to get Feta cheese later at the supermarket.

My apartment with its torn up walls, slanted floors, and exposed brick walls who sometimes cough up crumbled rock onto the floor, the couch, and sometimes my bedsheets, also has free & limitless water (except not free of the environmental implication; not free in that the hot tends to be more a trickle than a stream) and a clawfoot tub.
Tonight I sat in that tub, under the hot spray, and I looked and I noticed, for the first time in years, the magnets in the shower curtains,—when was the last time I recognized these little guys who quite literally hold together the whole shower experience?
The simple act of noticing what I haven’t noticed since the deep recesses of my own childhood inspired this momentary radical nostalgia in me, the kind which reminds that I haven’t changed all that much since the days I played with toy ships in the bathtub, imagining dramatic scenes with wave swells and dense dark storms, since the days I shot off water from the tips of my fingers at intangible yet ever wily foes.

Sven had it on his list of post-retirement goals.
We spent a weekend driving forklifts and got an appropriately ugly-but-official-looking license. I keep it in my wallet.
Nothing ever taught me more about mindfulness than Frank the Instructor, with zero preparation, giving me the keys to the forklift and telling me to move some concrete blocks from some shaky shelves full of heavy items, with my fellow forklift-drivers-to-be a couple meters behind with no protection.
It's been 1.5 years and I still receive random forklift toys from friends as gifts.

It's Saturday morning. You've been awake for 35 minutes, and after a bowl of müsli and a cup of coffee, you're falling asleep on the second page of your book?
It's never too early for a siesta.
