When I feel bad emotionally, I clean. I do the nastiest, most unpleasant jobs; since I'm gonna be miserable no matter what, I might as well get some use out of it.

Perfectionism, I always strive to make whatever I create or do as close to perfect as possible!
Doing my job consistently enough to pay my bills
I'm extremely consistent with my weightlifting program (1.5 years aww yeah!)
Starting to lift with the best decision I ever made and the best habit I've ever formed. Nagging aches and pains are basically a thing of the past. I'm way more useful, and my lower body, which was once withered and useless after a decade of working in an office, have been replaced with tree trunks and a dump-truck ass
A couple of the accessory benefits of this that in order to support my lifting progress I now eat way better, quit drinking and prioritize proper sleep. Overall it's just been a huge increase in quality of life
Whenever I see on Youtube Shorts something too crazy to be true, I immediately do a quick research and don't stop until I have three sources (counting wikipedia) to corroborate the information.
Do something new everyday.
When i post on asklemmy i write my individual answer as a comment, so people can reply to it instead of the post, where should just be answers to the question.
I say the opposite: fries get cold too fast, they SHOULD be eaten before you get home.
Heated seats ftw.
When I'm really dragging at work I take a nap.
What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?
I mostly get naked in private
I weigh 175lbs naked, but you really can't trust those grocery store scales.
Everytime I get a meal with vegetables I eat that first no matter what else is on the plate. I think of it working my way to the best part of the meal
Nice. My dad is always a firm believer of eating vegetables last to help with digestion, but there are benefits both ways lol
I brought this article up to him a while ago and while he's pretty set on his routine he has changed it up a little if he really wants to enjoy a steak or something as the last bite.
Every day I get up, get on the exercise bike and watch an episode of Star Trek.
Thanks to this, I've seen nearly every episode of Star Trek multiple times.
ToS, NextGen, DS9, Voyager or are you a heretic I need to burn at the stake?
I rotate between all of em.
Except Picard and Disco...
Enterprise really gets the heart rate up
No doubt that... It's been a long road
It's been a long road
First thing I do once I've checked into the workplace is to itemize what I'd like to get done today. And I list a bunch but they're priorities and not requirements. So I have 8 on the list knowing I'll only do 3 and then 5 will carry.
And I forgive myself if something comes up and it hoses my achievements. And I refer to it often as I get unfocused fast.
Keeps me on track.
Is the fry thing really your best habit?
Arenβt they cold by then?
I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy's . Ensures they are hot and crispy
Interestingly enough, my local Wendy's has the best fries out of any fast food chains I've tried. They are consistently perfectly crisp and salted. Better than how I even remember McDonald's fries in their heyday.
I do know that Wendy's leaves more up to their franchisees than some places, so maybe I just got lucky with the people who own the one by me.
The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn't exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. π€·πΌββοΈ Still didn't have to cook or do dishes!
Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it's weird but actually not a bad habit to have!
Maybe true, but they still taste nasty when cold
