      I used to get a good night’s sleep regularly, and now I have cats, so that’s right out the window. Those pesky chaps want to play at 4AM. But they are cute.

      I agree, this is very important to me. My fiancee and I have come to the realization that sleeping in the same bed made both of us sleep worse. The solution was to sleep in separate beds and it’s been great. I do miss some parts of it, of course, but the benefits have been worth it

    I’m gonna go with something simple, pizza. It always always makes my day better, no matter what is going on in my life or what I’m feeling.

      Including testing that you can actually restore from your backups.

      If you don’t test your backups, you don’t have backups

    Doing small joyful things. Like enjoying nice sunlight, smell of fresh cut lawn, that cool looking cloud, first sip of water in the morning, and every little thing that makes up the experience of you. Once you start appreciating small things, you start to see they are plentiful and makes day nicer, and build up different mindset to follow :)

    Sex with my husband. Even when I’ve jerked off 5 times in a day and my dick is sore. Its always worth it and when I turn him down I always regret it. I honestly don’t really care about the feeling that much. I like it, but I just really like how happy it makes him so the feeling is nothing by comparison. It fills me with so much joy being able to share something so beautiful. Its so amazing when we can just hold eachother and listen to eachother breathe.

    There was once a time when sex wasn’t that great because I’d just picture stuff in my head and it was like masturbating. Now I put special effort and attention into focusing totally on him. It is so much better, and it has turned sex into a real social activity with him. Its like watching movies or going on a hike or anyother activity that requires shared thought and teamwork.

    Trying.

    I know it sounds cliché and… Well… Wanky, but it’s true.

    Trying and failing will always feel better than just giving up.

    Like someone? Say something. They could humilate you and literally kick you in the balls and in 5 years i guarantee you’ll regret it less than if you say nothing. (This is not an excuse to be creepy. If they say NO, then hear the NO. Shit happens. Move on.)

    Have an idea for something cool? Try to make it reality. The sad truth is, honestly it’s probably going to fail, but at least you will be able to say you tried.

    And that 1 fucking time I’m wrong… My god, that 1 time. That’s where the best that life has to offer exists. But first…

    You have to try…

    So ask yourself, really. What’s the worst that could happen? … Aaaand now ask yourself… What’s the best that could happen?

        Jesus. Weigh the pro’s and con’s of course.

        I was thinking more, start that business, or start that college course. Don’t fucking jump off the Eiffel Tower in and bundle of blankets.

        Does that really need to be said?

          You answered “trying” as something that “is ALWAYS worth it” - which was OP’s question.

          If you now say you need to “weigh the pros and cons” - which I agree - then trying it’s not ALWAYS worth it, no?

          Then as someone else commented, each person has their own risk tolerance, so once each person weigh the pros and cons, trying will be worth it for some and not for others.

          So answering “trying” to “what’s something that’s always worth it” is rather paradoxical, as what you probably meant then was “trying it, but only when it’s worth it”.

    Expressing genuine love for someone with words or even better: with a kind deed.

    Simple. 😊

    A higher-quality tool. Buy the cheapest-made one and it’ll break shortly, buy the medium one and you’ll be set for a while, buy the best one and you’ll really be set.

    Despite this I still buy the occasional dollar-store tool because it’s nice to have extras around just in case them come in handy.

      My rule is to buy the cheap ones first, then if it breaks, I know to buy the better/best set. I’ve saved a ton cause there are plenty of tools I’ve only used like 3 times.

        Generally its a good idea to buy the cheapest gear possible when getting into a new hobby. That way if you lose interest there’s not a lot lost, if you keep going you’ll know what to appreciate when the time comes to upgrade.

      I have a set of screwdrivers that I’m pretty sure came from the dollar store, and they’re the favorite tool I have.

      Used to work in IT and those screwdrivers disassembled many hundreds of computers, maybe over a thousand. They’re magnetized just right too, so I can put a screw on the tip and place it with the tool instead of by hand. They’re small, fit in your pocket, very convenient.

      I’ve tried several times to replace them with something nicer but I never prefer the more expensive tool.
