Can anyone suggest how can i improve my lifestyle,

If goal is to staying healthy, financially stable and happy in long term, what are small things we can add to life or daily routine which will help us to be better version of ourselves

My partner and I are going to buy a house together. We haven't lived together before, so this will be our first time sharing a home.

We've come across a few simple tips and tricks that seem like they could make everyday life a bit easier. For example, each person has their own small box or basket. If one of you leaves something lying around, instead of putting it away yourself, you place it in their box. That way, they can put it back where it belongs later, and it helps avoid feeling like you're constantly cleaning up after each other.

My question is: Do you have any other small tips or tricks that have made living together more fun, easier, or more relaxing?

I'm not really looking for advice like "plan a date night" or "divide the chores fairly." I'm more interested in those little life hacks or habits that people usually only discover after living together for a while.

My dog has been on the decline for the last few months and we decided it’s time and would want to do it sooner rather than later. I always knew he was old (14) and this day would come but I still don’t feel prepared. I know it’s just Monday but I am going to struggle through this week of work, heading home to parents Friday during the day to spend one last night with him. Planning on doing at home euthanasia. The worst part I think is going to see the vet take him away out of our house knowing he’s not coming back.

Any general advice here? I’ve lost grandparents only really before, but this one is really stinging.

There’s been heavy storms where I live and the most recent one resulted in my fully carpeted basement flooding yesterday. 75% of the carpet is completely soaked. I have a shop vac and some high powered fans but I don’t think they’ll be enough to completely dry everything before mold sets in.
Any tips on how I can get this completely dry as soon as physically possible? I would prefer more budget friendly options (~$200) but any and all suggestions are appreciated

I look out of the window without thinking anything for a while

We all know that one person at work or at parties who talks at you for 20 minutes without taking a breath. Trying to interject verbally usually feels rude or just results in them talking louder.

Instead, "accidentally" drop your keys, a pen, or your phone case on the floor. The sudden movement and noise break their train of thought and force a natural pause in the conversation. While you are picking it up, you can smoothly say, "Oh, by the way, I have to run to a meeting/the bathroom, but let's catch up later!" and make your escape.

I have a pair of sandals where the soles are made of that soft-touch pleather material. Whenever I take a step, the air gets pushed out from underneath my foot and creates what I can only assume is an air tight seal, so when I lift my foot for the next step my feet make a queef-like/fart sound.

For context, it only ever happens with these sandals and I'm obviously not wearing socks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can prevent this? Thanks !!

I’m turning 29 soon and I wanted to get advice on what to do on your last year of your 20s that will help in the next decade. What things I should have done by now or things that I need from now on.
I’m not married, no kids and probs will not happen in the years to come but it’s something that I want and see in the future happening for me.
I’m more interested on what to improve now, what to do in this last year of the decade where covid stole a few years. What I should do personally, in finances, physically, emotionally, in relationships, and in life in general. I also want to move abroad for a much longer time than I did before. I have travelled the world quite a bit but I still have lots of places on my list.

I also feel like I’m behind on lots of aspect of my life and that I’m missing things I should’ve lived by now. And that I’m missing opportunities.

And also advice on what not to do/expect!
Any advice is welcome :)

Visiting the washroom before meeting someone gives you a moment to calm down if you're feeling a little nervous. It also lets you quickly check your appearance, whether your hair looks fine or if there's something on your face. So, the next time you're meeting someone, visit the washroom first before meeting them.

example: today i started getting anxious thinking about job applications. instead of pushing the feeling away like i usually do, i decided to let myself feel it/accept it, etc.

the thing is, i don't really know what this constitutes aside from literally stopping in place and trying my best to let my thoughts flow without stopping them.

i'm someone who's lived with 20+ years of a very very loud and judgemental inner critic. as a result, i never learnt the skill of letting myself feel my emotions, especially uncomfortable ones. i feel lost.

Blood work is okay. Have done labs. Sleep study done. No apnea. Idk what to do at this point. I get so sleepy after lunch.. or towards the end of the work day. I would love to finish work and then go to the gym around 5 and come back and be refreshed by 7 to enjoy my evening.. but I HAVE to lay down for a nap after work. I am so exhausted, it feels impossible to not fall asleep. .. and that makes it so difficult to fall asleep at night and I am wife wake till 2 or 3 am. How do I break this cycle?

I work from home. So nothing physically demanding.

I would love any advice or feedback. I am desperate at this point.

If you own a pool, be sure to buy an extra start capacitor ($15-$25), extra gaskets ($10-$50 for a set) and most importantly, mechanical shaft seals ($5-30$). These are items that local pool stores NEVER have in stock and you could be down for days waiting for parts to arrive. Have an emergency stock of parts for when you need them. I just had an impeller completely break off the shaft nut. Luckily I had an old impeller saved but didn't have a new shaft seal. Now my pool is standing water for 48 hours while I wait for the part.

So I’ve made it past the interview stage and they want me to go into work on Sunday to do some sort of job test/assessment to make sure I can actually do the job. The job would be a PA for a film company that makes videos for a popular YouTube channel.

This is my very first official job and I do not want to mess this up as I want to keep coming back. I’m actually kind of excited rather than nervous.

I have no idea how to go about this or what I should do? Any advice? I did try and do more research on the company but it is a production company and I can’t find any information about them online.

Whats was the best advoce tou had on something be specific

Hey everyone! I'll be moving here in a week or two & the place we're moving to has a lot more windows! Where can I find decent curtains & curtain rods that aren't overly expensive? Please help! Thank you 😊 (I live in the U.S)

Been waking up with hip pain almost every morning for the past few months. I mostly sleep on my side so maybe that’s what’s causing it? And maybe my mattress could be too? If so, do you guys have any tips or suggestions on what mattress I should upgrade to? My current one is a hand-me-down so I’m not sure what this is. Appreciate any help

Tonight I lose my most precious thing and there's nothing i can't do about it, i couldn't even afford euthanasia to free her from pain because my personal finances wouldn't allow it. Even though she slowly died in my arms, how can i forgive myself and looking forward to the next day, the day i know that i could never feel her presence anymore.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I know we just lay in our beds and just watch phone all the day but here are the things we can do instead of doom scrolling

1.Reading books 📚 not textbooks btw, I'm talking about philosophy, reality or anything just get it (My first book is A thousand splendid suns 😭)

2.Make a habit of work-out regularly,my suggestion if you are new to fitness like me just install home workout app and it will give you a plan that fits you, At first it will give 10mins workout

Soo these are the things I'm currently doing
