    Stop checking the news.

    Grab a book before sleeping rather than your phone.

      I’m working on this, though i usually say - I’d rather get removeded at for doing it wrong than for not doing it. At my job it’s to emphasize the stupidity of the task and the lack of training on a shitty system.

    Don’t Write Lemmy Posts In Title Case

    Actually, I like capitalizing random nouns, so sometimes I might do that accidentally.

    “Don’t overthink it” & “worrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.

    I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.

      I would agree, but I’m still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!

      True that haha

      In practice, I live by “never write any code that’s important enough for anyone to insist on testing it” 😎

    It’s not a problem if it takes you 12 tries and you still haven’t gotten it, do it a 13th. If I don’t do something perfect on the 1st or 2nd try I’ll most likely never do it again.

      Sometimes it helps to take your own advice, like having a conversation with yourself as if you were another person.

      Other times, there’s a cloud around our heads that stops that from working.

      I hope you find someone to talk to who treats you with the same compassion that you treat others.

      Depending on where you live, someone to talk to is probably a phone call away. Give it a try if that’s an option.

      Asking for help us a sign if strength, not weakness.

      I know that because i find it extremely hard to ask for help.

    If you just do the thing, people will stop asking you when are you going to do the thing.

    Try to hit the gym at least 3 times a day week. Daily if you can, even if it just means a light “spa” day.

    I will give men advice on how to be more attractive to women but i dont use that advice because i only like men lol. Not that im like the women whisperer i just find straight men to be… misguided i guess is the best word. They project their own wants onto women and dont consider hey maybe she doesnt want the same things you do in a partner.
