IME it’s been really simple. Sleep and exercise from the stuff you mentioned. But also creating something or working on something creative. Could be a little doodle, a small journal entry, a review for a book or a movie. Something that wasn’t only just consumption or work

If you put tension on the knot(pull your shoe open a bit), the wrong way to tie it will have the bows will want to go parallel with the length of the shoe, if it's the correct way it will want to go perpendicular to the length of your shoe

I think that depends on whether both his arms are broken or not.

Hardware/lawn and garden centers have excellent boxes. Look for boxes used for heavy stuff like gallons of bleach, garden hoses, and weed killer. They're nice and thick and the perfect size for moving.

The last thing you need is for her to feel like she’s your mom. That does not end well.

Rustoleum sells an epoxy product but it's pretty expensive and the safety is called into question. Just replace your countertops with formica laminate or try and do an ikea butcher block replacement yourself.

Shoe stores are better. Nice big thick boxes. Ask them ahead of time when they get their truck in and if you can call in that day to come pick them up. Dont ask them to save them for you. People ask that so often and never show up so theyll usually just decline.
GNC is another place for good sized boxes.
I used to do this as part time income. Pick up boxes from stores, put them in storage, then sell them on craigslist and facebook for half of what box stores charge.

I set a timer every day for 15 min and spend that time cleaning. I typically do it in the morning while my coffee’s is brewing. I can get 80% of my weekly cleaning done using this method.

Hickies, or other no-tie elastic shoelaces. They were originally for triathaloners, so they could slip their shoes on quickly. But I have used them for years, after being unable to tie my shoes after having thumb surgery. I never went back to regular laces. So convenient to slip my shoes on and off.

I'm a "don't eat until the pots and pans are cleaned up" type of person.
Once the food is on the stove, I get everything cleaned up and put away while the food is cooking.
When the food is finished cooking, I put my food on my plate and rinse the pots and pans hot off the stove after I transfer the food.
I've found that if I do this, before anything has a chance to cool off and set up, the food residue rinses right off the pots and pans instantly. It's so much faster that it's worth taking the extra minute or so before eating.

We were at Walmart when they were stocking the shelves today. The young woman gave us quite a number of boxes that had once held baked goods. So, check out your local Walmart

One of the first short TED talks, and actually extremely useful.
So bummed that TED has just become an Uber rich circle jerk.
