I modified a seat bolt phone mount with a wireless charger so I don't have to worry about cables in my car.

Whenever there is a small task that will take less than a few minutes, I ask myself "When else are you going to have 80 seconds?" and usually that makes me realize I should just get it done now. Sometimes I still say "tomorrow" and reminds me to pick a specific time to do the task.

I got rid of my cell phone. It ruins the point if you can't use it while working, can't use it while in a vehicle, can't use it while sleeping, constantly have app issues, use it scarcely, and its usage is 90% car warranty. Not worth it, cannot emphasize that enough.

I saw a video that opened my eyes to what I could do with plastic wrap in the context of food storage. Also freezing stuff. In general I feel like both help me keep my groceries fresher and also waste less.
Some examples. Sometimes you only need half of an onion. I used to use an entire zip lockbag or just put it in the fridge as is. This is such an obvious idea but now I just plastic wrap left over veggies and they stay super fresh. Plastic wrap can pretty much be used to create a near airtight bag of any shape and size.
Another example with freezers is sometimes I buy things like jalapenos and end up only using half of them and eventually have to throw the other half out. Again this is such an obvious idea in hindsight but now I just freeze the other half. They can pretty much stay fresh for months and I will end up figuring out another use for them in the meantime.
Both these ideas seem so obvious but for some reason didn't really come naturally to me until I watched some cooking videos and found this is what some chefs do.

I recently got a convertible standing desk thing, with a treadmill/walking pad for underneath. It has done wonders for my mental health while at work. Reading boring real estate contracts is a lot easier to get through when Iโm standing up and moving instead of falling asleep in my chair while simultaneously destroying my back/posture.
Got me some anc headphones if you know why you may find they work amazingly
