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.

Not writing "Mr.", "Mrs.", or "Ms." in documents. Waste of ink, typing time, and reading time.

Tyler's Glamorous Wash. I used to buy the cheapest detergent I could find, and laundry was just a means to an end. Now I look forward to laundry because it freshens up my whole home for a week.

I see your blackwings and I raise you my mechanical contestant - the uniball kuru toga. The rotating lead gimmick actually works pretty well and the elite has just such a nice weight to it because the barrel is this nice knurled metal thing (I think the advance upgrade is also metal, but I don't have that one to compare)

Speaking of uniball, while I'm normally a fountain pen adherent, my go to non-fountain pen is the uniball eye. Such a surprisingly nice pen for the price, and while it's not exactly the same, because it's a liquid ink roller ball it's still much nicer to write with because you don't have to apply pressure to make it write.

  1. Seasonic PSU-s.

As far a clothing goes, FIGS Supersoft underscrubs. Having worn plain black T-shirts my whole life and working in healthcare it’s nice being able to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable and kind of not at work, if that makes any sense. Really soft and don’t seem to lose colour! New Balance 574 have always served me well!

Etnies shoes. I will die with a pair of them on my feet. They're the only ones that are comfortable, wear out in more than a few months, look generic enough to pair them with most of my clothes and are reasonably priced.

Weber grills and smokers.
