Getting smart lights at home.
I live in Sweden, I also live alone, this means that for about a third of the year it is dark when I get home. Which means that when I open my apartment it is just a dark and depressing hole that I stepped into.
With smart lights I can turn on some of the lights before I open the door, and get to step into a lit apartment with mood lighting active, it has had a huge impact on my mental health over the last six years.
My main lights are still normal dumb lights, but the hue system is amazing.
Dropping my performance level at work to what I perceive my coworkers are doing.
TIL I’m the low bar someone sets their standards to! 😅
Jokes aside, I’m happy you found what works for you!
Just generally in life?
Care less.
Even if you think you don’t care anymore, there is another level of caring in the back of your head that you need to kill.
Every social construct you’re told you should care about makes you a little more miserable.
Nothing matters, it’s all made up by people trying to manipulate you. Do the bare minimum of what you need to do to get to what you genuinely enjoy. No one will ever think fondly about what an adult or professional you were, it’s just manipulation. Humanity is a bad joke of unearned self-importance.
Care less.
But still care about some things.
Care about eating food, keeping your spaces clean enough, and your overall health. Too little care can be a deep hole to climb out of.
Putting the shopping list in store-order before I go into the store; saves so much time and fuss in the store and makes me feel like a hyper-efficient grocery god.
Stopped drinking. Full stop
Stop trying to please or get along with toxic people just because we share some DNA

Cut way down on alcohol. I was never a heavy drinker, but still 2-3 beers a day adds up and takes a toll on your body. Now I only drink on special occasions or socially, and minimally at that.
Similarly, stop drinking energy drinks and soda on all but rare occasions. My acid reflux vanished after I cut out energy drinks.
It’s always shocking to me how varied what different people consider to be heavy drinking. 2-3 drinks a day would kill me after two or three days, or at least my stomach.
Stopped being in shitty relationships and dating crappy women.
Turns out it’s easy to have self-esteem and pride and accomplish shit when you don’t have someone telling you how shitty you are every other day.
