If you’re crafty or have any type of office supplies I use mine for paper clips, binder clips, tacks, sewing pins, buttons. You could use shorter/wider ones for storing jewelry since air tight containers are best from keeping pieces from tarnishing or getting a patina anyway (it’ll slow that from happening anyway). If you have cute or unique looking jars use them as bud vases for some flowers on bookshelves or a vanity. You could use them to collect things like sand/seashells/rocks from traveling and roadtrips. You could start a change jar to put all your change from things throughout the year in and add it up at the end of the year.

i've been moving a massive bag of friendship bracelet string from nightstand drawer to nightstand drawer for probably the last 10 years. i was feeling crafty so i started taking the string, cutting it to the lengths of a piece of paper, and making a picture out of the different colored string. big fun - highly recommend letting ur little fingers take control and do some arts & crafts

I bought this roll of string in 2022 and I keep finding uses for it. I hung a stained glass biplane from my window with it. I made little loops in lieu of hooks for a new shower curtain when I didn’t want to go return to home depot. I have tied up countless gifts’ wrapping paper with it. I tied up a bunch of stacks of things when moving with it
honestly I don’t know how I would get on without string

I know I’ve ranted about AI before but! Just saw another writer who was doing peer reviews as she was writing chapters with another person; until she found out the other person was using AI for their NOVEL! Blows my mind. She removed this person from her document and sent her a kind but straightforward message about how she won’t be working with her going forward due to the AI usage. I feel like using it for novel writing is one of the most insane uses because #1 this person told me that the AI generated parts of the work weren’t even as good as the other person’s normal writing was. #2 let’s say no one noticed and you published with the AI work, so you would be okay if the book did well but it wasn’t even truly your writing that people would be praising?? Not to mention of course the morality and environmental impact.
Also, I was shopping around today for a custom leather stamp to start stamping the leather journal covers I make. Thought I found someone to make it until they said to send the logo file over and they’ll send back AI created renderings of a mockup to approve. Now I am starting the search all over🙃

Today was one of those bad days where it causes a headache and you feel exhausted from everything, but somehow a nice long walk outside made things seem a little better. Fresh air and thinking or daydreaming while listening to the sounds of outside.
I sometimes find myself taking for granted the place that I live, I work or I’m too tired and I use that as an excuse to not go outside more. Yet every time I get the chance to spend the time outside, I can’t say I ever regret it.
I’m going to make it a goal for myself to try and take a walk outside at least a few times a week.
