My friend, Hakuna Matata, is running an interesting thread about the effects of having habits and routines.
I would like to start a complimentary thread about habits and routines that people find helpful. Did you develop certain habits that make life easier? (AKA "life hacks.") Have you "set up" your daily doings so that everything flows smoothly? Do you clean the house in a certain way, on a certain schedule? Do you have a daily routine that keeps you healthy and helps those around you as well?
One tiny example: The moment the mail arrives, I grab a kitchen knife and open every envelope, unfurl and stack contents, and pile up the outer envelopes and inner payment envelopes for the recycling box (itself a recycled grocery store box). In less than 60 seconds, I have a neat stack of contents to look at later. Should there be a need for a particular envelope, the recycling box is handy.
This seems like a group of organized, critical thinkers and I'll bet we have a lot of useful habits to share.
