Facebook marketplace, next door, you can also try asking for a used one on a local Facebook group. If you’re handy, you can even try buying a broken one and fixing it.

Reply to comment by ansonwolfe in LPT: Use your calendar as your to-do list. Assigning dedicated time to tasks increases the likelyhood of you acting upon it. by human_marketer
I tried Bullet Journal for about 3 weeks, but dropped it because the journal itself was so much work to maintain. Also, my ideas/tasks tend to come to me randomly, so it was hard for me to force myself to keep to one "topic" per page for the index.
I appreciate the suggestion though! It's definitely a system that works for a lot of people; it just didn't help with me.

It's a dollar lol. Just buy a dollar less in gas and pretend it never existed

This and your alarm clock set at specific times/dates. It's super annoying and sure to catch your attention

When you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it.

There are tools out there like motion and skedpal that do this exact thing automatically for you.

If you have enough money, people may not like you, but they sure will pretend like they like you. So at least you will have the impression that everyone likes you?

This is a very narcissistic thing to ask.

I used to walk a similar distance to work. Things I always had with me:
good quality walking shoes (not runners or hikers, but real walking shoes) - they’re usually a bit more expensive but worth it. And avoid anything with a mixed sole with a logo on it - you’ll wear through the softer rubber of the logo and then it’ll start sucking up water into the shoe.
A comfortable backpack that can carry everything you need to carry
A brimmed hat (I found a full brimmed hat was usually better than a baseball cap)
A jacket appropriate for the place you live.
A bottle of water
A snack
Something high-vis. Doesn’t have to be a vest; an armband or something on your backpack is good enough.
Sunglasses. Get blue blockers for cloudy weather and polarized glasses for sunny weather. They’ll keep stuff from cars driving by out of your eyes. I found cycling glasses worked well.
And keep a change of clothes at work, just in case.

Depends if you are running or walking. Hiking boots for walking offer better ankle support where running shoes are lighter and more designed for jogging/running and takes foot impact better

Do you have someone in your life that you're jealous of OP?

There aren't any. Having people like you kinda depends on what you are doing.
"No matter what" means you might have just axe-murdered their entire family, for example. Hard for them to like you in that case.
Maybe describe what your personal challenges are with being likeable, and ask for advice on those instead.

Literally nothing. If you're an ass in both word and action why would they like you. If you want to take the time to show a change in words and actions then you can rebuild trust with someone. There might be some stuff that will make them be nice and pretend to like you, such as being the rich friend, but genuine affection has no magic trick.

I wear boots now but they're not hiking boots. Would you say that hiking boots will be better than running shoes for this distance btw?
Personal_Flow2994 t1_jdku1u8 wrote
A lightweight backpack with a rain jacket and spare clothes for work, socks, deodorant, etc. Lightweight shorts, t-shirt,, and good hiking boots with insoles are what I wear (I have about an hour of walking and an hour or so bus ride each way). A good pair of headphones for podcasts, audio books, or music. A reflective vest so cars can see me

Drive is also free for 15GB.

Keep telling yourself that.

Wow 3 hours is a really long walk to work. You are really committed. I would never be able to walk that much. If it helps maybe you can get a cheap bike or electric bike. This will help immensely.

If you’re walking on the street, definitely get something hi vis. It’s very dangerous
