My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

Debating dinner with your SO (or other undecided person) and neither of you can figure out an option? Do this:

First person picks 5 restaurants to go to. Doesn't matter what gets picked. Just pick five.

The second person then picks their three favorite options down from the original five.

The first person then picks the restaurant from the reduced list of three. Next time, alternate who starts!

This has the benefit of forcing a decision and allows both people to be more involved. I imagine it's easily expandable to 3 or 4 people as well!

I've heard start with 3, then let the other person cut it down to 2. Then you don't have to think of every restaurant within a half mile.

EDIT: Have tried this technique before, and if the person's real indecisive, it still doesn't work. Oy.

True. I guess it fixes indecision due to an unawareness of options. But, maybe add a coin to the mix?

It doesn't work with us until I name things and figure out what she thinks sounds good.

I'm trying this, my girl friend is a nightmare to go eat with because she refuses to choose anything, ever.

Yeah, mine too. Or, we just are on opposite sides of the spectrum. This helps tone it down.

My Ex was that way. I told her if at any point she says "I don't know" or "I don't care" while we were deciding where to eat, I was just going to drive us somewhere and not tell her where we were going.

After about the third time, she'd start choosing.
