If you've received more than three threads about the same topic in two days, make a megathread.

I don't force myself to start right away. After years of "well I guess I might as well" I now more-or-less automatically start washing dishes, doing laundry, and tackling yardwork when my mood dips. I still need to make the conscious choice to tackle bigger jobs like mucking out the basement or turnjng the compost.

Not in that way, but:

A) my environment is usually nicer afterwards, which improves mood, and

2] if I was miserable due to fighting with my partner, seeing me do chores usually improves her mood, facilitating reconciliation

When I feel bad emotionally, I clean. I do the nastiest, most unpleasant jobs; since I'm gonna be miserable no matter what, I might as well get some use out of it.

perambulation is a good one. My morning walk isn't quite grand enough to be called a 'constitutional'; nor scenic and leisurely enough to be called a 'stroll'; nor yet social enough to be called a 'promenade'; 'perambulation' is just the ticket.

Also great for whisking if you don't have or can't find a real whisk.

Cut of the top of the pomegranate to see where the white "walls" between the five sections are, then cut through the skin vertically along those walls. The fruit can now be pulled apart easily into five sections that are much easier to handle so you can strip the arils from the pith gently without breaking them.

Eating green salads with chopsticks is a game-changer.

The best way to eat grapefruit is not with a spoon: rather, cut it into wedges across the segments then stick the whole wedge in your mouth and pull the flesh out from between the tough interstitial fibers with your teeth.

Mattress, about five years. Towels, every decade or so.

Just keep the ones you have clean with regular washing, and they don't wear out that fast.

The best one I've found (though I'll check out HPF, thanks!) is Bullet Journal. Not any of the fancy add-ons, just the original, Carrol-method rapid logging. The idea of migration, mindfully and manually taking all undone tasks and deciding if they really need done or can be discarded, is one of the best features, and one that's so often missing from digital tools.

I also appreciate that it's more-or-less time-agnostic, and that note-taking is just as much a part of rapid logging as tasks organization is. The only frill I use is the Final Version Perfect system of priority discovery, which seamlessly fits into the basic bujo methodology.

I just took a trip and the estimated arrival time assumed I would drive 15mph over the limit without stopping the whole way.

I DO have my own website, and I've never had to block anyone.
