What do you swear by?

Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

I read a story on Reddit one time that some of you probably remember.

"Today you. Tomorrow me."

I think about that often and try to be a generally helpful and kind person to anyone in need. I guess that's a mantra that I swear by.

Kinda bonkers that people need the expectation of something good happening to them in order to do something good for someone else
