83. Make accomplishing things as easy as possible. Find the easiest way to start exercising. Find the easiest way to start writing. People make things harder than they have to be and get frustrated when they can’t succeed. Try not to.

84. Cultivate a reputation for being dependable. Good reputations are valuable because they are easily destroyed and hard to rebuild. You don’t have to brew the most amazing coffee if your customers know the coffee will always be hot.

85. (Do I need to offer a disclaimer? This is not medical advice!) Don’t waste money on multivitamins, they don’t work. Vitamin D supplementation does seem to work, which is important because deficiency is common.

86. The best advice is personal and comes from somebody who knows you well. Take broad-spectrum advice like this as needed, but the best way to get help is to ask honest friends who love you.

87. Relationships need novelty. It’s hard to have novelty during Covid--but have you planned your post-Covid adventure yet?

88. When you ask people, “What’s your favourite book / movie / band?” and they stumble, ask them instead what book / movie / band they’re currently enjoying most. They’ll almost always have one and be able to talk about it.

89. Establish clear rules about when to throw out old junk. Once clear rules are established, junk will probably cease to be a problem. This is because our unspoken rules are usually ridiculous (“keep this broken stereo for five years in case I learn how to fix it”).

91. If you bus to other cities, consider finding a rideshare on Facebook instead. It’s cheaper, faster, and leads to interesting conversations.
