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.

- Appreciating constructive feedback as an opportunity to learn, not to become defensive

- Taking to heart how chance plays a large role on short term success but doing things right plays a large role for long term success (playing backgammon taught me lot about this).

- Exploring the unwritten rules of small talk and common courtesy.

None of these have come naturally to to me, nor have I fully mastered them. I see them all as processes, not goals.

Also:

- Having kids. An everyday crash course in many things.
