I have two

  1. figured out how to reformat an old hard drive that i needed the space to store new shows I wantef to have and was able to make room for so much stuff. It took way to long for me to sit down focused and walk thru a 5 minute youtube video explaining it and it paid off. I knew that was the solution all the while, just took a long time to buckle down and do it. I need to get more in that habit

  2. Couldnt remember debit pin and its annoyed me for a long time when i needed to withdraw cash various times. Found a forum post saying the exact process in the banks app and had it sorted out in less than a minute. Itd been like 3 months I put up with that and its just not an issue anymore

Be someone’s hero and inspiration and share how you fixed something bothersome or even downright problematic

    Had stinky feet throughout my whole adulthood. Always wore padded shoes with a fake leather cover, like every shoe shop throws at you with promises of them being breathable.

    Then recently bought shoes with canvas for the cover material and they single-handedly solved the problem. My feet are not always hot anymore, because I am just wearing two pieces of cloth over them (canvas+socks) rather than thick padding. And they are actually breathable, too, allowing sweat to dissipate pretty quickly.

    And if I do sweat more in the summer and they start to smell, I can chuck them into the washing machine¹ to undo that entirely.

    At the risk of wholly explaining what a cloth is, I guess, I should also mention that moisture does not just go out of the shoes more easily, but obviously also into them. So, they’re not as great of a choice for rainy days. But yeah, that tradeoff is definitely worth it for me.

    ¹) The shoes I got actually recommend putting them into the washing machine. Might not be a good idea with other canvas shoes.
