Writing tip. When ready to take a break or at the end of the day, hastily write out another sentence or two to start what you think the next paragraph or section should be. It helps you start back up with something when you need to get writing again.

Yes it's very effective at removing weed smells from a room. Some recommend simmering the vinegar on your stove as simmering it on your stovetop will really crank up its odor removal powers. The vinegar then vaporizes its acetic acid, which then bonds with the molecules responsible for the weed smell.

I highly recommend reading a book called Atomic Habits, one of the things he pointed out was instead of saying to yourself, I "have" to do this thing instead say I "get" to do this thing. And instead of focusing on a specific goal, try to become the type of person that reaches that goal, focus on the identity. Also I know the times when I don't want to do something and I end up doing it I feel a thousand times better. discipline is doing things you know you have to do when you don't want to do it.

Example: personally I'm running to get in shape for a marathon I have to switch the goal in my mind from goal oriented to the identity of a runner. I completely understand his point of view because when I did my first half marathon in 2021 I got in shape I ran the marathon and then I got lazy because I didn't have a goal, so now with my mindset of having the identity of a runner in my mind it's much easier to train.

Unfortunately you're incorrect as I've been using baking soda and vinegar for years to clean tough stains and remove odors from places like my garbage disposal. The reason this happens is because when the baking soda is mixed with the vinegar the baking soda’s reaction causes it to transform into water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide that is released during the reaction gives it the bubbling effect that expands and helps lift dirt/odors from the surfaces being cleaned.

Gamification. Set goals, steps and gifts, for steps you need to achieve. SMART goals help as well. I want to lose weight doesn't help me as a goal.' I want to go to the gym on monday and wednesday every week this month to lose weight' is a lot better. Make sure you get reminders. Post a picture of your goal on the wall, set alarms. Whatever works for you. Depending on your goals - get yourself a buddy that holds you accountable. Track your progress. Most important: You might lose a fight and still win the war. Keep going, even after failures. Good luck

I'm allergic and often have to resort to taking antihistamines because it gets unbearable (especially if I have many bites, as someone else commented it seems to be cumulative somehow). But using hot water really helps relieve the itching, at least temporarily. I do it loads and it's a blessing.

So even if you're allergic I would suggest to try it, it could still help!
