Don’t know much about the functions of Lemmy, so if I’ve messed up, it’s likely that I don’t know I’ve messed up. Technologically not so smrt.

  • I don’t have a lot of stuff and not a lot of expensive stuff, but my top are:

    • Instant Pot. I have a tiny kitchen, so being able to do x number of things with one piece of equipment is amazing. Also keeps the heat down in summer instead of oven and gas stove.

    • Hiking poles. Got them recently, and they are a game changer. I’ve only ever seen older folks use them, but they got it right. Not only is it easier on my knees, but somehow they feel like they let me go further when I can use my arms as a little push forward.

    • Garmin Fenix watch. Keeps me motivated to keep moving, and it serves as a silent wake up alarm so I don’t wake my partner in the early hours.

    Honourable mentions:

    • A good hand-held flashlight. I use this daily for work and when I go camping. Also great at night when hunting mosquitoes in the bedroom.

    • A digital probe thermometer. Also used daily for work, and takes the guesswork out of cooking meats and things at home.


  • Don’t do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

    I know it sounds like procrastination, but it helps in particular with high stress jobs where things just keep piling on and priorities keep changing. Don’t burn yourself out trying to get everything done today.

    Everyone has to start somewhere.” and “You’re one step ahead of the people who decide to stay on the couch.

    This helps with just getting started, like if you are a beginner at the gym and intimidated by those fit people who look like they know what they’re doing, or just going solo to a dance class for the first time. Or going on a hike and needing to take a lot of breaks. You’re one step better than where you were before you went. At least now you have a starting point and you can only improve.

    Also helps when it’s cold and/or miserable outside because you know there will be a lot of people who decided to not go out, and you end up with a gym to yourself!
