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.

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.

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.

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
