So strange to see this here.. I spent a couple days reading the site a few years ago. It was during a time where I was looking for alternative ways to live my life and if I could have subtle improvements on everyday things.

I learned a few knots and even now when I buy a new pair of shoes I consult the site to see what lacing style would suit the shoe and my foot. (since different styles put different tension on the wearers foot).

I have to say, I'm happy it exists, it enriched my life in such a subtle way, this is the kind of content that the internet was made for in my opinion.

I'm doing exactly this. Would you mind sharing some of the other alternatives you discovered?

I have started doing this too. These are more general than specific, but I think the biggest things for me are:

-Cleaning my entire apartment very thoroughly and keeping it that way. Makes me feel a lot better overall.

-Positive mental attitude always and trying not to stress about things as much. I am a very cynical person and I believe trying to think about things differently is important.

-Constantly analyzing what I am doing and thinking and asking people what I could have done differently, even if I don't see it as a failure there is always something to improve. The key is thinking objectively and not worrying about those mistakes, but keeping those things in mind in the future.

-Really pushing myself to do things out of my comfort zone every single day.

-Focus on making progress on something non-work related every single day.
