Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.

    Mantra:

    • A former coach used to say to us, “If you cut corners in practice, you’ll cut corners in games. If you cut corners in games, you’ll cut corners in life.” It’s a good reminder to do things right whenever and wherever you can. Every action you take is training your brain!

    Product-wise:

    • I swear by Dorset Cereals’ muesli lmao. It is such a small thing but I absolutely love all the flavours and recommend them to everyone I know. If I were a different sort of person, I’d be approaching them for a brand deal, what with all the word-of-mouth advertising I do for them 😂

    • I also swear by my Blundstones. They’re great for walking, they always keep my feet dry in my very moist city, and they have lasted me really well so far.
