We always hear about people's bad habits but what's your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.

Same. After years of neglect, I finally had everything fixed at the same time. After 2 years of dental work and thousands spent out-of-pocket, I now floss and brush religiously.

Returning the shopping cart

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I was a carry-out at my local hardware store for a few years in college. I brought carts in from the corrals and helped people load heavy stuff. I've seen and been victim to the damage caused when a rogue cart catches the wind and fucks off down the parking lot. People that leave their cart not in a corral or inside disgust me more than more most lazy people.

You're my hero, dude.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you. I couldn't figure out anything I do right, but this is the thing I always do.

If I make a typo, rather than autocorrecting or deleting a few characters I delete the whole word and re-type it from the beginning. That way the correct spelling gets into my muscle memory and I’m much less likely to make the typo again in the future.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

If I make a typo, I try to keep as many of the letters on the page as possible - no need to throw them away and use new ones. Waste not.

[-] libra00@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

This. Been doing this for decades and it's great. Still fuck certain words up for some reason tho. Separate, people, etc.

“ie” vs “ei” are my kryptonite. e.g. receive, sieve.

Probably writing. I make sure to write a little every day. I feel like it helps me keep a rhythm and allows me to reflect on the things I care about, the things I'm thinking about, and what I've done that day.


That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.

I always find it so weird to hear that there really are people that genuinely dislike vegetables. Or am I misunderstanding this? I love veggies :D

[-] Monster96@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, it's not that I don't like them. But if I have the option to eat a steak or some veggies, I'd rather eat the steak.

[-] gon@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

Well, to each their own :D

Doing sport, regullary. It keeps me fit, healthy and sane. It gave me some pride in my achievements and more power in the long run. Even if it sometimes stressy to fit time for it in my schedule, it is worth it. It also taught me that I am able to do more than I thought, a very valuable lesson for me.

[-] mujtablue@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago

Amazing. for me it was plants that inspired me to do daily exercise. Plants are always growing. No goal no nothing. All they think and all they do is growing, getting taller and stronger.

Following my weightlifting routine (tactical barbell). I'm on a 38 week streak and I don't have the words to describe how much better I feel, and how much it has improved my life over the last few years. If anyone is even remotely interested in getting in shape, it's so worth it

[-] ninjaturtle@lemmy.today 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I record events of the day, daily. Going on a year now. Just a quick jot of the most eventful thing of the day. Nice to look back and remember things that happened through out the year.

Use an app called "Daily You" in F-droid to help me organize it all, if anyone is interested.

I haven’t always had this habit, but I brush my teeth twice a day and floss before bed.

I tell people directly when I appreciate something they did.

[-] itsworkthatwedo@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

Telling my kids I love them, regularly and randomly. My parents only told me they loved me after yelling at me (or worse) and it took a long time for me to understand the toll that's had on my relationships with them.

Out of the 31 meals i eat per week, i usually cook at least 27...most of those from scratch.

Not looking at my keyboard when typing. I switched to colemak last year, and since then I've managed to get into the habit of typing without looking. Which is very useful now that my keyboard stickers are starting to come off so it shows some letters twice and others not at all 😅

[-] snailboy@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

So I didn’t go to the dentist for about 15 years. I had disgustingly visible buildups of calcified plaque around my bottom front row, and was becoming seriously self conscious about smiling because of it. All my wisdom teeth were still in, but only a couple of them were visible at all. Then one day I took a big bite of a taco, and all of a sudden it felt like I got punched in the jaw at the mandible joint. So I went into panic/maintenance mode, and booked doctors and dentist appointments asap, catastrophising that one of my wisdom teeth had somehow grown up into my jaw and was going to dislocate it, or something. It was a fucking delicious taco, too.

Anyway, turned out my wisdom teeth were fine, if fact the dentist was amazed at how well my teeth were holding up considering how badly I treated them/ignored them. Only one cavity, the only cavity I’ve ever had in my life, and in a wisdom tooth that could be easily removed, at that. So I got that pulled out promptly, which was one of the most disgusting experiences of my life.

Turned out the cartilage between my jaw and my skull had gradually slipped loose, and the bone was rubbing up against bone. Six months of jaw therapy and multiple awful, painful, and bloody dentist visits later, my mouth is back to normal, my jaw doesn’t click any more, and my teeth are looking great.

And now, I cannot, for the life of me, fall asleep at night without flossing first.

I always put my seatbelt on when I sit in a car. I always text the parking deck row/floor to my wife as we park.

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Good for the environment? I recycle everything I can. I don't use plastic bags or single-use cups. I avoid using heating in the winter to save on CO2 emissions (used it for 2 days this winter when my gf was sick). I stave off aircon in the summer for as long as I can to save electricity. I'm vegan (mostly because of ethical concerns but also because meat is awful for the planet in general). I avoid using my car when there's an alternative (cycling/public transit).

Good for me? I do at least some exercise (stretching, workout, jogging, cycling) every workday and hike on the weekend. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss weekly, and get a full dental cleaning annually, and because of this (and genetic luck I suppose) I never had any issues with my teeth (don't have even a single filling). I don't drink alcohol or smoke at all. I avoid caffeine and sugars when possible.

I feel privileged to be able to form those habits, and also often blame myself that I don't do better. I'm addicted to fat and carbohydrate-heavy foods, can't bring myself to clean the apartment with any regularity beyond the most necessary, and can't form a habit of regularly reading books. Sometimes I wonder how other adults manage when they have a 9-5 office job with commute times, kids, etc.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Exercising regularly! I do it because it gives me a kind of rush, but I realize that it's also making me healthier in the long run (hehe)

[-] couch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I always put stuff in the same spot so I don't have to look for it or think about where it is. Everything in my wallet has a place, everything in my pockets always goes in the same pockets, my work ID goes in the same place when not in use, my sunglasses have a spot on the counter at home, and on and on. Greatly simplifies things and reduces stress not having to think about where stuff is or might be.

[-] John@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

I usally walk everywhere(if its further away than five km i would go by bicycle)

I we ar my PPE. Most commonly eye and ear protection but I'll wear a dust mask when routing or sanding, etc. Allowing onesself to be injured in the shop is unethical.

Self-study and exercise. I read Marxist-Leninist theory (as well as scientific articles and other non-fiction that interests me) every day, and work out 4 times a week. Both have significantly improved my life.
