What's something you changed about your daily/weekly routine that improved life?

What are some small things that you have changed up recently that have positively affected your life? Trying to find some other things that can improve daily living
For me
1) Changing to Double Edge Safety on OTLounge Advice
I always had trouble with razor burn and hated the feel of shaving with even the "nicest" Fusion Power 5 blade type razor. Don't know if it is because of the extra care not trying to cut myself, the switch to soap instead of gel for shaving cream or the blade but it makes my shaving experience something I don't dread every day
2) Audiobooks/podcasts (Particular nonfiction)
When I started making my 40-50 minute commute, I always listened to music and hated those drives. I switched it up to audiobooks and podcasts, usually nonfiction, for these commutes and it is now some of the more relaxing and enjoyable parts of the day for me. If I go for runs/row I usally listen to these instead of music now just because it helps pass time. I rarely listen to music now

Drinking a shitton less. Used to drink all Friday and Saturday night and sometimes "Sunday Funday" on Sundays. Limited that to a few drinks now and then. Feel a lot better. Lost weight. A lot more productive.

I started exercising and eating healthy.. nothing groundbreaking.
I read "No More Mr. Nice Guy".. pretty legit book..
Now I have started taking time to do things alone, things that i want to do, whenever i want.

I quit drinkin everyday... Now I can actually focus and be productive. I feel a lot better now too. I guess I did it to help with stress but ironically, it would cause me to be more stressed/anxious when I wasnt intoxicated. My mind is a lot clearer now--I used to feel like I was always living in a haze.

1) Started drinking protein shakes every morning and routinely wake up at the same time every day.
2) Stopped listening to radio or anything at all when I am driving. This is a nice change of pace from whatever was normally distracting me.

I broke up with a gf, and I guess it is good. About to start running and getting back into body weight working out. I refuse to eat healthy though
Quitting drinking every day helped a bunch. Only dad I feel hungover now is sometimes on Saturdays
Making the switch from Jack to Crown made a big difference. Started that on New years, and have kept going with it![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

No Dr peppers, way more water with sweet tea every now and then.
Ive been eating a little better, and try to avoid eating after 7 at the latest.
Its helped me lose a little weight.
Making more positive changes to come, its a work in progress.

I haven't tried audio books, but I did switch away from music...
I drive quite a bit for work and was getting really tired of it. I quit listening to music and now listen almost exclusively to talk radio of one form or another (nothing political). I like public radio and espn radio primarily. This has made a world of difference in my driving...I actually look forward to hearing certain shows now instead of just dreading the drive.

Oddly enough I have started this too. I moved recently and added 10-15 minutes to my commute, so I started listening to podcasts. I have 8 regular ones and they all post 2-4 times a week and on differing days so theres usually only a few drives a week that I don't listen to them (Tuesdays are the worst).
I've also changed my diet a bit recently and added more carbs and I've felt excellent recently. I have a lot more energy
