The 10 cheap purchases that have massively improved my quality of life - a thread π
β° Physical alarm clock - I used to use my phone as an alarm clock, but I'd inevitably spend hours on Twitter or @Hinge when I should have been sleeping. Since I bought a physical alarm clock, and placed my phone across the room, my quality of sleep has massively improved.
π¦· Electric toothbrush - needs to have a 30 second timer as that's how long you should spend brushing each quadrant of the mouth (2 mins in total). I've been using one for a year and I've noticed a massive improvement in the whiteness of my smile. @taimurabdaal noticed too lol.
πΈ Ukulele - I started learning the ukulele when I was in my 2nd year of medical school. I learned by following YouTube tutorials and within a few days I could play songs and sing along. It's really fun. And it was my gateway drug into the world of music.
π @pukkapads - I've tried zillions of writing pads over the years and always come back to the Pukka Pad. The quality, feel, and look is second to none. I use it to plan my book, scribble to-do lists, and write down my thoughts. I highly recommend it.
π The @AustinKleon trilogy - these are really good and I keep them on my desk at all times. I always find inspiration from them. The books are 'Show Your Work' (this is the book that's probably most changed my life), 'Steal Like an Artist', and 'Keep Going'.
π§ Water bottle - I drink so much more water now I have a water bottle sitting on my desk at all times. I've also noticed that I feel less bloated and my skin feels like it's glowing when I drink more water. Not sure how much of that is placebo, but yeah it works for me.
π Deck of cards - magic started off as a way to increase my sexual market value lol, but when I got to uni I used magic to perform at events + make some money. This gave me more confidence to put myself out there. Check out my video on hobbies π
π± @AmazonKindle - this is probably the one item that's most impacted my life because it gives you the ability to read infinitely more books. Anytime I get a book recommendation I just buy it on Kindle immediately and start reading it straight away.
πͺ Doorstop - when I was at university I always used to have a doorstop to keep my door open. Doing this helps people to know that it's okay for them to interrupt you while you're working and it's just generally good vibes all around.
π» Subscription to @Skillshare - this is an incredible online platform with thousands of online classes on all sorts of topics. I've got some classes too, which hopefully you find useful. It's an absolute no brainer for all the value that you get.
π¬ If you want to quickly improve your quality of life definitely think about buying some of these items. If you're still not sure then check out the full video π
