Hello comrades and welcome to the last improvement megathread of July! bonfire

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any plans or goals for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, “sober for one day.” Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don’t have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Poster caption: “Woman, to the locomotive!”

Good luck with your goals! rainbow-has

    I cleaned my sink. At some point, I realized that I really only need a fraction of my dishes for myself and kept washing basically a setting for one while letting everything else in the sink grow increasingly gross. Today I finally washed the accumulated gross and it was so gross I’m putting everything through the dishwasher again after a thorough hand-clean because it was clean-twice-or-throw-away gross. Barring a change in my social life, I’ll probably go back to just washing a setting for one while letting everything else sit, but this time I’ll let everything else sit in the cabinet.

      Life pro tip: put on some podcasts while washing the dishes and cleaning. I like washing dishes now because that’s my podcast listening time lol. I recommend Guys, it’s a podcast about different types of guys. It’s hilarious and the hosts have good politics (it’s Bryan from Street Fight Radio aka the guy who invented podcasts)
