Or any skill that you deeply value for how it helps you, but maybe easily overlooked by an outsider?
I think exercising atleast 2-3 times a week was good for me. Not that I look much different, but I do feel a bit stronger and that is nice. Neck isometrics and bridges too. They really helped with balancing looking at mobile or PC screens.
Learning some keyboard shortcuts was nice. The major one would be Win key + Arrow keys to manage multiple open windows/apps.
Then, finding that I can add commonly used options to the QuickAccess bar in Excel, Word etc. Libreoffice would probably have similar options too.
I’ve re-discovered the art of deliberacy.
By that I mean that my way of interacting with the world is (ideally) always through deliberate, careful, and conscious actions.
A good example: you’ve just written a note. Your instinct would be to drop the pencil. Instead, you should be deliberate in how you place the pencil down. It is gently placed in line with the page instead of being tossed to the side.
This sounds silly, and I feel like it gives serial killer vibes, but we are all so overstimulated and so much goes on in our subconscious minds. Being deliberate in your actions, big or small, is a soothing way of reconnecting to the world and thinking more clearly.
But damn if it isn’t difficult to maintain deliberacy. It’s shocking how many of my actions are effectively subconscious.
This idea was granted to me through Infinite Jest. A frankly detestable character hammers this practice into his son’s head, and while it doesn’t seem to help the character much, it has helped me.
